Breakouts are a pain in the butt no matter when they occur, but nothing’s worse than when a pimple decides to pay a visit before a big event.<\/p>\n

That’s where spot treatments come in. Ahead, we highlight five of the best acne fighting ingredients when you want overnight results.<\/p>\n

\"\"Salicylic acid<\/strong>
\nUse salicylic acid to dry out your acne overnight.\u00a0Dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman<\/a> recommends using\u00a0Neutrogena<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating\u00a0Spot<\/span>\u00a0Gel,<\/a> which contains two percent salicylic\u00a0acid. “<\/span>This is very good for acne\u00a0spot<\/span>\u00a0treatment, as it unclogs pores and can help prevent breakouts,” she says. “It also has glycerin, which can help skin dryness.”<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Benzoyl peroxide<\/strong>
\nBenzoyl peroxide helps kill the bacteria that causes acne, and it can be applied as a cream.\u00a0Dermatologist Dr. Sejal Shah<\/a>\u00a0loves the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit<\/a>. “I like this because it has a wash, treatment, and moisturizer,” says Shah. “The treatment cream contains two percent benzoyl peroxide. It’s formulated so that it’s as active as higher concentrations, but not as drying.”<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Sulfur<\/strong>
\nSulfur has antibacterial properties and it also works to fight inflammation. Shah suggests using Mario Badescu Drying Lotion<\/a>. “This spot treatment contains sulfur and salicylic acid,” she says. “I like it because the active ingredients are good spot treatments, and it contains a limited number of other inactive ingredients so it’s less likely to have other potentially irritating ingredients.”<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Retinol<\/strong>
\nUsing retinol can help exfoliate your skin overnight. Jaliman likes Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion<\/a> in particular. “It contains retinol, which helps with exfoliation as well as hyaluronic acid, which is very moisturizing,” she says.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"AHA<\/strong>
\nUsing a glycolic acid gel can help dry the skin out. Use a product like Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment<\/a>. The highly potent formula immediately exfoliates clogged pores, revealing smoother, fresher skin.<\/p>\n
