Here's a super important tip: if you want to clear up acne long-term, you have to focus on treating non-inflamed blemishes (AKA: blackheads, bumps, and clogged pores). Sure, red pimples are more obvious, but those non-inflamed blemishes lead to more pimples. Treat them, and it's like treating acne at the source.
Some of the best treatments for non-inflamed blemishes are topical retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide. And never underestimate the power of regular extractions (these can be done at your dermatologist's office or at a salon).
