The problem with many of these solutions is that they are expensive, and often require so much product that you would need to take out a mortgage just to keep up with the pricey products.

However compelling the celebrity endorsements, and promotions may seem appealing, at the end of the day, many of these pimple treatments cost hundreds of dollars and require so many different products that you need a small closet and cheat sheet just to keep track of them all.

I've found that many of these store bought pimple treatments are made from many of the same ingredients found in nature, and conversely, found in your local supermarket.

One method that I highly recommend is to take a simple mixture of butermilk and table salt and use it as a face wash three to four times a week. The results work best against blackheads and acne. I'll generally alternate this treatment every other day to take care of my pimples.
