Toothpaste

"After I pop a pimple I take a pea size amount of toothpaste and apply it to the pimple. It may sting for a second because of the mint flavoring, but wait it out--you will be surprised with the end result." By Sofia Sokolow, a junior at Colonia High School.

Pimple Patches

¨Time to time I wake up in the morning and get a dreadful pimple clear for everyone to see. So I buy packs of Pimple patches by the brand Mighty Patch and they work wonders. I can wear it during school and not have the pimple so visible while getting all the gush out. I´ve seen other wear different variations of the pimple patch so don´t worry of others judging for having it on!" by Ashley Jania, a junior at Colonia High School.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% +B5

¨The hydration serum that I used to moisturize my skin during Accutane was a waste of my money. While on Accutane, its purpose is to dry your pores, so you won´t have any pimples. I bought the serum to help relieve the tension of my skin and instead it broke me out causing me pain. I never felt that it hydrated my skin enough like how my moisturizer does,¨ said Gabriella Malhado, a 18 year old college student.
