These facial washcloths are made out fo 100% Biobased, USDA certified and dermatologist-approved fibers, according to the brand. They're absorbent enough to dry your face and hands, and they can also be used to easily remove makeup once wet. If you can't resist the urge to pop your pimple, this is the time to reach for your spot treatment. After you've sufficiently cleansed the skin post-pop, opt for a lotion or gel that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Dr. Wolinsky explains this will dry up any remaining pus trapped in the pore. Various active ingredients can be used in acne spot treatments. For instance, anti-inflammatory and skin healing ingredients like zinc, bacteria-killing tried and true salicylic acid, and blemish-shrinking benzoyl peroxide. The Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment is a great option if you're looking for something with benzoyl peroxide. To use your acne drying lotion, start by setting the jar down on a flat surface. This will ensure that the layers that make up the product are fully separated, with the powder at the bottom and the liquid at the top. You should never shake this type of product!
