Whether you have one pimple or acne, both are extremely frustrating, especially when they pop-up overnight. Luckily, there are ways to fight back immediately and long term, if one of those little evil zits pop-up suddenly.
QUICK FIX
Pop that pimple! For most of us we can't and won't go to work with a white head on our face, so go ahead and pop it. To pop, apply a hot compress, gently squeeze and then dab the area with rubbing alcohol to avoid infection.

LONG TERM
Your game plan is to look to dry the zit out and to remove bacteria. Olay's Professional Pro-X Clear Intensive Refining Mask is a sulphur-based spot acne treatment with immediate results. The mask is a non-comedogenic formula that helps dry out current breakouts and shortens the longevity of the pimple.
Another option, is the new Tanda Zap, a tiny tool that you can carry in your pocket or purse.
Tanda Zap uses three powerful, proven technologies: light, heat and sonic vibration to get rid of pimples. Starts working in 24 hours. For larger areas of breakouts or acne Tanda Clear can be used.
Also, use products with Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid or a version of vitamin A if you are prone to breakouts on a regular basis. If you do use these products they are drying (even for oily skin) so use a moisturizer to combat the dryness.
