Have you ever woken up, gone about your morning routine as usual, walked into the bathroom, and suddenly, had your mood ruined? The cause: a new, angry-red pimple on your face that’s staring right back at you in the mirror. As the day goes by, you feel the pimple growing large enough that it practically has its own zit code.

 The larger and more noticeable a pimple gets, the urge to pop it seems to inevitably grow as well, and I completely relate. Despite all the advice we’ve read and heard from experts telling us not to squeeze and pop, it’s just so hard to fight the urge, especially since pimples always seem to show up at the worst times (think before a big party or date night). With spring break, big festivals and other travel plans right around the corner, the stress of getting a pimple right now is absolutely pore-ibble.

But there’s no need to worry, because we’ve got you covered. Unfortunately, there’s no magic wand that allows you to erase all your pimples in an instant with just one “Abracadabra!” However, these products come really darn close. From quick-acting spot drying lotion and hypoallergenic acne concealer to effective post-blemish recovery cream and facial cleansing spray, we’ve rounded up the best products on Amazon to heal your pimple in no time, minus the popping and scarring.

As the wise Yoda once said, “Patience you must have, my young Padawan.” We’re pretty sure he was referring to how we should go about treating our acne and pimples. So, keep it pimple and get ready to add these reviewer-loved Amazon finds to your cart.
