I personally use Tea Tree Oil because it is well-known for its drawing properties, meaning it draws the infection (the pimple) out. I also use it on my acne regularly because it reduces the redness within hours of putting it on, and it works amazingly on my pimples to keep them away. It's very safe and doesn't hurt at all.. It is 100% natural with no ';fake'; additives in it or anything like that... Best of all it is cheap and easy to find, such as at Walgreens (if you have one around), or at stores that sell health-foods and natural medicines. It is a very common home remedy and is very handy in medicine cabinets or First Aid Kits because it is a ';cure-all'; meaning it is not just for one thing in particular, it can help with many things.





I use it, and I love it. ProActiv didn't work for me, and nothing else really has either.. but this stuff has pretty much done the trick.





Goodluck :)How can you get rid of acne and blackheads without using proactive and without drying your skin out?
You can just wash your face with dawn dish detergent. It is way cheaper and it has the same effect.
Get face wash for sensitive skin. Which is least likely to dry your skin out. I like Ceptaphil or Nuetrogena. Then wash your skin twice a day, apply a toner, and maybe an acne cream. Or you can buy moisturizer with acne fighting stuff in it.
Try drinking more water, and taking a steamy shower to open the pores up.
Bring pan of water to boil and remove from stove. Carefully tent with a towel and place face over steam, at least one foot from the pan to avoid burning yourself. Be very careful not to burn your skin with the steam. Five minutes or less is enough to open up your pores. Apply mask of your choice. Rinse off mask with tepid water (not hot water), ending with a cold water rinse to close your pores.





Wash your face with a gentle water-soluble cleanser.





Apply a clay mask that does not contain ingredients such as mint or peppermint. It will absorb excess oil from the skin surface. If you have dry skin, use oil-absorbing papers to clean the face.





Vitamin A will keep the oil flowing uniformly and won鈥檛 clog your pores. Tretinoin and Adapalene are common retinoids for skin treatments.





Apply exfoliant or a scrub that will help remove dead skin from your face.





You can also treat blackheads with over-the-counter acne medications containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
