    Here's what I always did, and still occasionally do...just put a dab of toothpaste (baking soda based, not the gel kind) on it before I went to bed. It dries the zits up very quickly.

    I know how you feel, I'm 22 and I still get acne fairly regularly. I thought it was supposed to mostly go away by this age?!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    It doesn't feel the greatest but I used rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball when I was younger. Now you don't want to do it all the time because it dries your skin but a couple of times a week should do it.

    Go to the drug store and get a bottle of Camphor Sprit it is a liquid and you should find it in the first aid isle.

    It will dry out your acne without the residue of alcohol or effects of it.

    It is very inexpensive and works quickly - I used it as a teen and still have a bottle of it around when I get a break out now (and I'm much older than 20! )
