internally, as the poster above said, lots of water to flush your body of toxins. externally, you could try buying alcohol swabs from any pharmacy and clean your face daily with them. it can dry your face a bit but cleans the pores very well. also, you could start using medimix soap based on neem (a strong antiseptic agent). it works wonders for many people. you can also apply the medimix soap directly to an existing pimple or your whole face and let it dry. leave it on overnight and you should see significant improvement. work at it both from inside and out. best of luck
