Description

These are the salves that will zap your zits in no time.
Smile’s Prid Homeopathic Drawing Salve

Next time you want to pop a pimple, slather on Prid instead. While the brown, sap-like salve looks, well, gross, it will leave your skin smooth and clear. And, it doesn’t just work on tiny pimples. The active ingredients include: Arnica montana, which eases pain and swelling; Hepar sulfur, which relieves abscesses and boils; and silica, which heals eruptions. Simply put: This stuff is like the Holy Grail for cystic, chronic, and severe acne. While the company claims that it can take up to 12 days to see results, some users have witnessed a planet-size pimple disappear overnight.
Dr. Christopher’s Black Drawing Ointment

The ingredients in this drawing salve sound more like stuff you’d use for cooking in your kitchen: extra-virgin olive oil, red clover, comfrey root, chaparral leaf, lobelia herb, and plantain leaf. But, its potent zit-zapping properties are something to behold. Chickweed relieves rashes, boils, and breakouts, while marshmallow root forms a soothing film over mucous membranes and helps calm inflamed, irritated tissues.
J.R. Watkins Petro-Carbo First Aid Salve

What started out as a staple in the medicine cabinets of hunting and fishing lodges has grown into a universal skin-saver. The sappy ointment works much like bacitracin (Neosporin). The active ingredient, phenol (carbolic acid), is an antimicrobial agent that helps kill bacteria and heal infections. Bonus: The salve contains camphor, oil of spruce, and the tea-tree relative cajeput, which provides a cool sensation that helps soothe and calm acne that is tender, sore, or cystic.
Egyptian Magic

The packaging looks a little gimmicky, but this “magical” balm is a serious multitasker. The all-natural ointment was formulated in 1991 with just six ingredients: honey, beeswax, olive oil, royal jelly, bee pollen, and bee propolis.

While the brand promotes it mostly for moisturizing purposes (for skin and hair), it has also gained traction as a serious anti-acne treatment. The honey’s antibacterial properties not only put the breaks on a blemish, but also provide additional benefits that most acne products don’t: minimizing scarring and erasing any signs post-breakout. (For that reason, it’s become huge in Hollywood for post-plastic surgery.) A-list fans include Cara Delevingne and Rachel Zoe.
