Hmm, the problem I have with conventional zit cream is that it dries 
up the area around the offending spot as well, and goes delightfully 
red and sore.  Great fun.  So I tend to use aloe vera gel.  It's 
antifungal and antiseptic so it eliminates the spots without drying 
the skin out.

As much as I love my late mom, I'll never forgive her for the biggest 
lie she ever told me:  "You'll stop getting pimples when you're 18".  
Darn you, mom ;)
