How to Get Rid of Acne Fast & OVERNIGHT with My Bandaid Trick! 

pickers, where you at? 🙋🏻

anyone else not watching the video and just going thru comments to see if it works?

Where's my gang who is broke and a troubled acne teen who watches proactive adverts and wishes they looked like that :(

IF THIS DOESN’T WORK, I GIVE UP. I’ve tried everything and I’ve never gotten emotional over acne but now....

She reminds me of the mom from good luck Charlie:))). anybody??

Having bumps, cysts, and acne on my face gives me anxiety so i sit inthe mirror for like 1-2 hours popping and picking at my face

Who else doing exercising, skincare stuff, and reducing size so you can look good for school next year?? 🙋‍♀️😂😂 Edit: I come back to this comment 7 months later and you guys, we can all relate to 😂😂 you guys are great! Also, tips for weight loss and skin care! If you want to lose weight faster, boost your metabolism (its faster if you're a kid or teenager, as I was told by my father), drink lots of water (also drink water if you are craving something unhealthy. It should work!), and eat more vegetables and fruit! For acne, make sure that when you're in the shower, use acne cleansers (if you don't have one, you can use a bar of soap and rub it on your hands and use your fingers to rub it all over your acne on your face, cheeks, eyelids, temples, nose, underneath nose, jaw, neck, shoulders, chest, and any other spots you have acne). Water also helps get rid of acne, so thats a good! Scrub your face everyday with soap. (Fact: Are you getting acne on your cheeks? If so, it might be from your mask. You sweat and breathe in it which causes bacteria and dirt to get under your skin which is annoying as heck, trust me 😅) I hope this helps! 😙💕

STOP!! Before you watch this video you are all ready beautiful enough!! Acne or not you are the prettiest human *EVER!*

My teacher told me something about this😂 but she uses honey 1.put honey on any spot that bothers u ⭕ 2.put a bandage over it 3.let it stay overnight🌇from their it should be gone by next morning P.s this helped me alot⬆

I swear waking up with acne on my face is like a nightmare

This worked for me! I'm a picker when it comes to acne, and my skin takes a long time to heal after I pick. And when I get bad acne I get really self conscious to the point where I can't leave my house without having an immense about of anxiety. So happy I found this video.

i’m trying this tonight, i’ll let y’all know how it works! update: so i’ve been using it this week and i have to say it works really well! y’all should definitely try this out

Ok so what you said about you picking your face every time there was a pimple growing gosh I feel you I do it every time... And yes there very painful... Sometimes I just feel like staying home instead of going to school because I get jealous every time I see people with flawless and with a beautiful clear skin... Anyone else feel jealous?

I had my SERIOUS doubts about this until I tried it myself! I wish I had come across this video YEARS AGO before I gave myself horrible scars everywhere from picking at my acne! Thank you so much for making this video!!

As soon as I heard her say “st ives apricot scrub” I was like NoOooOo and then the rubbing alcohol 😖😖😖

You know damn well she put foundation on after😭

Apricot scrub... rubbing ALCOHOL.... my skin would cry

Good video! There is no treatment for acne that can work over night. You have to be patient and follow a routine skin care if you want clear skin. it is important to treat acne on time in order to prevent scars. Scars are permanent and it can only be improved ( with lasers) but you may never get your normal skin back. So, please remember that treating acne is important.

I know I'm three years late, but when you said that you'd never go out in public like that, my first thought was that pretty is on the inside 😊

She's gorgeous and I love that she shared her routine. Just a note from a dermatologists perspective: St Ives is a really rough exfoliator for your skin because of the huge walnut shells; they can cause tiny abrasions on the skin. Something with gentle, smaller microscrubbers like Neutragena will be kinder to your skin. Also, alcohol dries out your face so swabbing it with witch hazel is much kinder to your skin. Here's to beautiful skin ladies! 😍

Dude, i'd need like 4 boxes of bandaids

having make up on in your thumb nail for the "after picture" is very misleading honestly.

Me watching this the first 20 sec: This is sooooo fake I’m never doing this Me 2 sec later: tries it

Watched this video about 8 months ago and decided to try this. You literally have changed my life. I used to have BAD break outs and the creams my dermatologist recommended cost $500’s!! And the off brand for it was about $40’s. And all it did was make my skin SUPER dry and flakey ): when I did this my zits LITERALLY vanished about 40% and 2 days later they were almost 100% gone! Now my beauty regimen is take off my make up, wash my face and I put antibiotic ointment all over my face and I add a bit more to the bad spots and my face is now 98% clear.

when it comes to acne, i have a really bad picking habit. sorry if that's tmi

OMG... OK, so I had this HUGE pimple on my chin, and I have to go to school on monday and I was like, what was I going to do... (PS this was Saturday) Then, I ran into this video and I thought, let's give this a shot... So, I put a glob of neosporon( Idk how to spell it) on and a bandage and slept overnight and now, its just a little tiny bump.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Okay seriously this is cool. I had a zit and it left that dry textured skin around it. Not nice. I didnt have Neosporin, so i just gobbed a bunch of my night moisturizer on the area. I didnt have these specific bandaids but i had some that were cloth backed so flexible. Put that over the moisturizer. I took it off this morning and all that flaky dry skin peeled right off. The little redness left behind can easily be covered up by makeup. Holy buckets i am sharing this with every female i know. It really worked using regular night moisturizer. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I hate my acne like why! I wish acne never existed like I stopped touching my face and then I started picking and it makes it more worse of you pop it bc it turns red and ew

I FUCKING THOUGHT THIS WAS JENNA MARBLES

I usually have all my pimples in my forehead

IT WORKS!! This weekend is homecoming and 4 days ago my skin was a NIGHTMARE. Under the skin bumps, little pimples, big pimples, and one deep pimple that I had picked into a crater. I had this one breakout for like 3 weeks and I could not get rid of it. I tried serums, patches, and literally everything! I tried the trick and my pimples were reduced to little red marks OVERNIGHT! After doing it for a few days all I had was some un-picked pimples that I cleared up easily with a pimple patch. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY HOMECOMING!

GIRL👏🏻THANK👏🏻YOU👏🏻SO👏🏻MUCH!👏🏻 i get few acnes on my face and im going to meet my bf in 5days and attend a wedding the day after. 😭

when she said,"uh i would never go out in public looking like this." I have wayyy worse acne that kinda offended me.

I've never related to any comments section more than this one

watching this with bandaids on my face haha ive been doing this since high school but im glad im not alone!

Been using Neosporin as a acne treatment for a while now. Good results. I also add a drop of tea tree oil to the Neosporin and mix it up before dabbing it on my face, for an extra healing property.

the after is fake she put on makeup😐😑

I had a huge acne scab (ik it’s gross don’t remind me) on my cheek and it was so noticeable when I wore makeup so I came across this video put it on overnight and now it pretty much cleared up!!!! Super amazing results

omg i’ve done this for month’s i thought i was being wierd and like the only one but this literally works so well, take our word for it!!!!

I am an Esthetician! Do not use St Ives bad bad, it’s like washing your face with glass shards. Use a professional exfoliant! Even from Sephora. No St. Ives, every dermatologist will tell you that.

Holy nuggets. I have done this forever, but seriously show us how you put on your make up because that is amazing.

i tried this technic last night! it really works! tysm for this informative video :) stay sweet

Ahhhhh thank you so much! My teen years are so rough! My skincare routine is AMAZING and I still breakout and it’s really lowering my self esteem! So you probably won’t see this but your my hero.

You’re beautiful! Don’t let anybody think that acne makes you look horrible.

use organic honey instead of the neosporin(if you don't have it) and do the same with the bandaid. works just as good (maybe even better)

Thank you so much for telling us about this acne healing trick, I have acne and get judged at my school about it. Now I can use this little trick and I can build up my courage again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

‘i will do anything for a beautiful skin and a beautiful face’ i feel uu siss lol

Ok I’ve been doing this for about five years now but I don’t cover them with bandaids which is a great idea to keep it from rubbing off all over your pillows!! My question is what face makeup are you using? Foundation? It looks amazing!

Neosporin is actually really good for cystic acne too! I have it and I'm 24. I went on BC to manage it but before neosporin help minimize them ALOT!

I've struggled with this issue for ages and just wanted to say how much I commend you for doing this. It seriously takes such a brave person to be vulnerable like this and open about their skin issues. You're beautiful with and without the makeup

“I would never go out in public like this” you should think about the people with cystic acne etc

Trying now!!!!! Birthday is on Friday, going to family camp with our church going to be 35 and PMS gives me gnarly underground blackheads. Husband cringes when he sees what I do and lol kinda want to look like I didn’t have a fight with a blackhead. Skin is broken it scabbed about 5 days now…WHY DO I DO THIS!? And I tried popping again today with more skin breakage! Just RU-vidd and found you! Mom has always told me to do that but so glad I never take her advice but grateful to God I found you, hopefully by Thursday all is well. Lol the kids are freaked out seeing my bandaids 😂 thank you for your video! You are helping people like me!

She was like “I’m a picker” and I was literally sitting here picking at my face I’m not even kidding 😂

DO NOT use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to stop bleeding. there are two liquids used in isopropyl alcohol- one that evaporated on contact with skin, and one that absorbs into the skin. the one that absorbs into the skin relaxes the capillaries, thus causing more bleeding. just take a regular tissue paper and apply pressure for 60-90 seconds until it has stopped bleeding. i hope this helps someone!

I'm so afraid of scarring! That's why I tried my best not to pop up pimples.. they took months the scar to fade away😭😭

I have tried so many things to help me get rid of my acne and this is by far the BEST. I tried this last night and when i woke up i was shocked. I was able to put makeup right over it and you could not even tell that it was there. And it was sooooo simple.

I’ve done this many times. Works great. Only thing that I’ve found that works better is using a hydrocolloid bandage in place of the regular bandaid and neosporin. Great tip!

I have a big zit on the end of my nose and I look like Rudolph 😂 I’m definitely trying this

I actually do a very close routine to this method. I use the St.ive green tea cleanser with a face cloth and wash my face with as hot as I can take it. After I finish I put the Neosporin on the trouble spots. This works like a charm for me! Great video!

GAME CHANGER!! Thank you. Tried it for 2 nights. Worked WONDERS. Love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

This did reduce the bumpiness of my zits but it left bandaid marks on my face that lasted for days!!! Be careful😂😂

i agree with using neo/bandaids on pimples. this is actually on old remedy that i heard about at least 10 years ago. however DO NOT ever use a scrub on active acne..thats horrible advice!!!!

I found your video while frantically searching for the best ways to fix my blemish disasters I created on my face (I’m a pro at scanning my face with 10X magnified mirror(those should be illegal btw) and creating a huge mess out of nothing). I must say, Melea u r brilliant! I am amazed how well this worked and so simple! Two items I already had in my medicine cabinet! (Except in Canada we have Polysporin lol). I was already three days in before discovering your miracle treatment, I didn’t even want to go to work with my sad attempt at covering my face with make up/concealer etc which made it look even worse. Literally after one night with bandaids and polysporin, makeup application was a breeze and u would never know I had a two huge (resembling cigarette burns) marks on my face! AMAZING & THANK U MELEA!!!

Stress causes acne too. If that's the case, you can uproot the problem.

Why does this girl reminds me of so many people

Tell me how she's so beautiful even with pimples am jealous 😫😍

Totally works, sitting home now with band aids on😂😂. One tip that I do, I use Q-tips to put on the neosporin. I think it helps keep more bacteria from getting in.

DO NOT USE ST IVES SCRUB PLEASEEE

It kinda doesn't make sense to do a before with no makeup and then an after with foundation and concealer

I DO THE SAME EXACT THING. LIKE EXACT. I DIDNT KNOW OTHER PEOPLE HAD THOUGHT OF THIS, SO GREAT :)) I had originally thought of this because I had a pimple on my chin and I wanted to put acne cream on it but I didn't want it to rub off on my pillow or blanket or anything, so I just thought, eh I guess I'll just put a band aid on it, and I've been doing it since! :) I'm not married because I'm 17, but my parents and my sister think I'm crazy, so I can't wait to show them that I'm not the only one that does this 😂

I did this 2 nights in a row and it completely cleared and healed my skin. Thank you!!

I do this already! It really does help those angry looking pimples heal way faster. Just make sure you're not sensitive to the adhesive on the bandaids or you will have a whole new problem area to deal with. I like the fabric bandaids because they seem to have the best flexibility for your face.

I usually break out between my eyebrows or like ontop kinda on my forehead or around the top of my eyebrows. It looks like a damn red acne tree

Amy Duncan???? :0

I have an entire “tool kit”, with tweezers, sewing pins, and extractors. I keep it in a pouch with a magnifying mirror.

No negatively coming from our end! We are all here for a reason.

Will Spider-Man or shopkins bandaids work? Lol

✋🏻picker!

I really thought that this was gonna be pathetic and i was wrong. I didnt have Neosporin so i used Vaseline and it worked the same. I did the Vaseline and bandaids on a bigger zit and when i woke up i took of the bandaid and it was so small!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!! You have created this unbelievable way that actually works and fast!

I’ve been doing this for years! I’ve never put bandaids on, though, because I didn’t want to skip the rest of my skincare routine. But it does really help not just with cultivating a smoother scab to form, but also helps get rid of some of the acne-causing bacteria, so it heals faster.

I have been doing something similar to this for years. Instead of long bandaids, I buy the little round spot bandaids. I have found that CVS brand isn't too sticky for your face where sometimes band aid brand would stick, causing more redness around the zit. I also use zinc oxide along with the Neosporin or any generic triple antibiotic ointment. First I moisturize well and wait a few minutes for that to soak in. Then I use acne spot cream (I use Neutrogena rapid results) topically on the zit. I put a small dollup of zinc (enough to cover zit with a thick layer but not so much it will squish out from under the bandage). Then I put a layer of Neosporin on the bandaid and center the pad on the zit. When I wake up in the morning, all if the zinc has soaked into the skin while the nastiness has been pulled out and is trapped in the bandaid pad. This typically helps only when the zit is under the skin but open and maybe you have picked at it a little ...or a lot. I have very sensitive skin and the cheap spot bandaids seem to work better for me. The moisturizing seems to help prevent the top layer of skin from being removed around the zit but not willing to risk it with band aid brand. The zinc seems to help prevent scarring and helps the Neosporin heal the skin. It seems to need to be plain old zinc oxide too, not like diaper rash cream that has other stuff included. I have noticed a big difference as I seem to get breakouts every month around that time and have honed in with a lot of experimentation on what does work. I have also discovered acne patches or well branded cellulose bandages. They really do suck the gunk out. I use the band aid thing and acne patches both depending on what is going on with my face. If a zit just needs to heal from being picked at I will use the band aid, if still swollen and red, I use the acne patch. Not trying to rain on your parade or promote brands. She is right. It does work even if it sounds crazy. Please give it a shot before posting that it won't or can't work. I have seen miracles on my own face.

I've been doing this for as long as I can remember. To help with the redness and inflammation, I crush an aspirin and mix it with bacitracin. A lot of people are allergic to neosporin and it has been found to cause necrosis as well so we don't recommend neosporin but aquaphor or bacitracin works better for a much broader population of people.

You're not alone! I do this too and it works really well! Like you showed, it doesn't get rid of them but at least makes them more coverup-able. Thank you for sharing!

all the acne scars or any pimples i get, make me feel so insecure. then i try to find remedies like a day before school but don't. in the end just give up and am happy that my friends love me for who i am :)

1:18 i'm a picker

I've been doing this with tea tree oil for years on cysts. It takes the pain away and prevents bacteria from getting in, and hardens the pus, so they just peel away. Be careful though because undiluted tea tree oil is VERY drying. Don't be so insicure about a few breakouts, it can make people that have acne feel worse about themselves. Like if you can't leave the house like that, should people with severe acne just hibernate?

I'm sooooo going to try this tonight! I have my engagement photoshoot and I broke out like crazy!!! I know it wont heal everything, but as long as I dont have the crazy flakes I'm good!!! So excited thank you so much!!!!

Thank you for this totally worked. I’m glad I found your page but most def works. Especially with Covid thing ok breaking out. Hate it but this so worked thank you so much. 🙏🏻

GOOD LUCK CHARLIE

Girllllll I used to do that all the time when I used to get acne I thought I was the only one😂 I had super bad amexiety and would pick so bad people thought I got in fights... So I was desperate and tried everything and I soon started doing this. Low key have a deep bond with you now. I'm dieing though, you really got the guts I'm glad you were strong enough to share this. People really need to know This, cause It really works!!!!

Hey girl! I know I'm late to the show but I hope you are doing well and this worked for me! I just started getting pimples after I had my son and I was picking like a farmer when the apples are due at Walmart! Thanks for this!

The nose is the centre of the face. AND ITS THE ONLY PLACE I GET SPOTS!!! 😭😭😭

lmao been doing the bandaid trick for years and I've have never shown or told anyone still. but it does work !

If you have a deep pimple or cystic acne you can use a product called PRID it's a drawing salve and comes in a round orange tin. I have cystic acne and when ever I feel a new pimple coming in I get a Qtip and put a dot of salve right on top of the pimple and put a band aide on overnight . The next morning the pimple is either gone or the head is to the surface. I've been doing this for a long time and it's a lifesaver , it's better than having a cystic breakout spot for almost a month .

Omg! I’ve done this for years! My mom told me about it 😊

I tried this and I did it in one side of my check and the other side I put my regular medicine and I’m going to see if it works so wish me luck :)

The best thing I have ever used for acne is the dove men plus care soap in the green box. I'm a girl and my boyfriend had really bad acne, he wouldn't get a ton of pimples. Just two or three big ones. He started using this soap and his face cleared up completely. I had lots of really small bumps and had tried everything. I tried clean and clear, yes to tomatoes, facial scrubbers, the light therapy masks, proactive, sulfur acne medicine. I tried it all. I went to a dermatologist, but the acne medicine she prescribed basically ate my face off, so I tried the soap he was using. I'm telling you if you've tried everything for acne, try this soap. Don't use anything but the soap. I quit all my other acne routines. I do use the occasional benzoyl peroxide on a spot here and there but for the most part my acne is gone and I don't have any redness anymore because I'm not using harsh products on my face. Please give this a try.

like this if she should do a video on how she keeps her teeth white

Great tip! But I have heard of the adhesive part of the Band-Aid causing a darkening of the skin so it might help with the pimple, but you end up with temporary or permanently darkened skin in the area where the adhesive part covered your face. This might be more of a problem for people with sensitive skin.

Great treatment for acne: @t Ok so what you said about you picking your face every time there was a pimple growing gosh I feel you I do it every time... And yes there very painful... Sometimes I just feel like staying home instead of going to school because I get jealous every time I see people with flawless and with a beautiful clear skin... Anyone else feel jealous?
