There is nothing – and I repeat, NOTHING – more heartbreaking, embarrassing, or humiliating than having a zit right smack center of your nose. Unfortunately for me, in my first two years of high school I endured the most horrible zits – zits are bad, mind you, but the placement of them are even worse. And though I tried almost every zit cream I could get my hands on, it was one that my Mom bought from a hospital pharmacy that worked the best: Acne Clear Pimple Treatment Cream. Bless my Mama – she knew how upset I was about all the acne. I’m not joking when I say I’ve probably tried over 50 types of pimple creams during high school, and this is by far in the top three. I’m not sure if it’s available all over the world, because a quick Google search told me nobody really knows about it… so this might be a hidden gem!
There is not much to say except this: it is 3 freakin’ dollars. (Actually it was $1.50 at the time and recently doubled.) Whiteheads are flattened overnight, and those huge volcanic cystic zits can disappear within two days… all for $3. How can you complain?! Unfortunately (or actually, fortunately) I haven’t used this in a few years because my skin is so much better, but I always have a tube of it just in case I get those random nasty ones, and highly, HIGHLY recommend it.
Have you tried Acne Clear? What’s the best zit cream you’ve tried?

Do you know where I can find this, I tried to google search it but didn’t come up with much :S Thanks!!
Where can I find this? It sounds incredible!
And btw… love the Macbeth reference!
Hey! can you please include the name of the product in a comment for me, for some odd reason I cannot see the picture. thanks!
Sorry guys! Weird that the picture didn’t show up… I re-uploaded it, can you see it now? It’s called Acne Clear. My Mom got it from NUH’s pharmacy, but I’ve also seen it at Guardian* xx
edit* I mistakenly said Watsons before, sorry about that! It’s actually at Guardian.
Zit on the tip of my nose? Story of my life throughout middle school and the first two years of high school. It always comes around Christmas time too. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer much?
It’s not reappeared for years now, thank GOD!
I remember buying 5% benzoyl peroxide once and it came in a tube almost like this one, except the writing was in green and the tube only had english writing on it.
It sounds like a cool product (haven’t seen it before). I have tried about 25 products myself and I have found that the ones that work best for my acne contain benzoyl peroxide and some sort of anti-bioitic. Could you list the active ingredients in this?
hi Renee!
Which watsons outlet was it? The one at imm and jurong point doesnt have it
Hey Aruna! So sorry I made a mistake… it’s actually Guardian.
I’m sorry! I’m editing that info now. xx
I have tried this product and must say it is really all that you say it is, Renee. I bought it from Guardian Pharmacy at $4.50. Great great value for money!
The best that I have tried is from a dermatologist in Indonesia. It costs about 5 bucks a pot. And the results was fantastic after 3 days. I sound like one of those ads. But no, I’m not joking. I’ve tried EVERYTHING and NOTHING worked. Yes, I even burnt my face with apple cider vinegar and all that but then my gal pal brought me to this dermatologist and I am now free from zits! *cross my fingers*
I think i have a liquid version of this.My mom got it from NUH as well and yep, it’s very gentle on this skin and works as well.
I haven’t tried this – my favorite pimple cream is Quinoderm! In fact I need to use it tonight. I don’t get zits often but I suddenly have 3!
What are the ingredients in this? I still have a scar from one of the giant pimples I had in high school. Ugh! I haven’t found any single zit zapping products that work well. I have to use a combo of things, but luckily I don’t really break out too much anymore.
A great pimple remover was a cream called valderma, that is unfortunately discontinued
HI everyone, the active ingredient is sulphur (4%) – yikes! I guess that’s why it works so well.
Unfortunately I checked and it seems to be Singaporean made, so you can only get it in Singapore I’m afraid… you can find it at Guardian and NUH’s pharmacy, those are the “confirmed” places for now… if anyone finds it elsewhere please let us all know.

i’ve tried it once..but was too drying…but i did find a better alternative…
