Salicylic acid is also a popular cure. It softens the skin and helps to unplug pores and
discard dead skin cells. Used in conjunction with Benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil,
numerous people find it helps greatly. Also helpful is sulfur, which works a lot like
Benzoyl peroxide. It also helps to get rid of bacteria and unclog pores. Add to the mix
