Step 1
Use sulfur. Sulfur is another of the most effective pimple remedies. There are adult acne products on the market that contain sulfur as well as very inexpensive drug store masks that can be used to spot treat pimples. This can usually dry up a zit overnight. Many people swear sulfur is one of the fastest pimple remedies.

Step 2
Try an herbal remedy. Tea tree oil ranks as one of the top herbal pimple remedies. Although the scent is very strong, its antiseptic qualities help break down the bacteria in the zit very quickly. Some people also have found success with lavendar oil pimple remedies. Like tea tree oil, just dab the essential oil onto the affected area. Sensitive skin types should avoid these herbal pimple remedies as essential oils can be very strong.

Step 3
Put aspirin on your face. This is one of the cheapest and easiest pimple remedies out there. Simply crush up a tablet of uncoated aspirin, add enough water to make a paste, and dab it on your pimple. Leave it on until it starts to flake off, then wash it off and reapply several times throughout the day. Because most people already have aspirin at home, this is one of those pimple remedies where you have nothing to lose by trying.

Step 4
Try benzoyl peroxide. This is one of the most popular pimple remedies and is generally the most successful. These products are readily found in drug stores. Some people find benzoyl peroxide to be too drying or irritating so if you have sensitive skin, it's better to stick to other pimple remedies.
