DIY Pimple Treatment With Just Two Ingredients

What if we told you there was a DIY blemish-zapping lotion that not only shrinks the pesky thing but also reduces the redness and can even kill bacteria? Well, it's true. You can actually make your own overnight treatment at home. All it takes is your favorite astringent or tea tree oil and a bottle of calamine lotion. It'll cost you less than $10 at the grocery store and will last you around six months to boot.

[@ellejay5674]

There are 4 ingredients and you said 3 and your title says 2

[@Kkipling]

Although she did say 3 ingredients, there are actually only two.. Not four :)

[@amyhuynh9726]

Well water and a container isn't an ingredient 😋😂

[@ellejay5674]

water is an ingredient.

[@BluJuiice]

elle jay it's not an ingredient as most people have unlimited access to it

[@Diana-mj6uj]

conorxryan it's still an ingredient.Everyone has it but it still is an ingredient

[@shaleemichelle]

What was the point in putting so much of each product in the bowls, when clearly all of that isn't going to fit into that tiny container? Literally, she could have just squirted/carefully poured some of the calamine lotion, witch hazel, and tea tree oil into the containers in the correct order. Absolutely no need to waste so much by transferring it into bowls in order to suction enough to transfer into the little glass container. Smh.

[@ohaunnameyer2185]

Because aesthetics

[@user-kl1on3nw7y]

Shalee Michelle loooooooool ikr

[@mariaduran634]

This is almost exactly like the Mario Badescu drying lotion.

[@toriwolter6135]

omg ikr

[@Sisi-xv4cp]

If you look at the ingredients its litterally the same idk y people are paying 20 dollars for a little bottle when you can get a big bottle of calamine for like 7

[@user-kl1on3nw7y]

Maria Duran not realy that has more ingredients like sulfur

[@giovannyromero8047]

Mario badescu used alcahol not water lmao

[@anniebeauty01]

Is it me or did they count wrong

[@ronnie4085]

They counted wrong and ooooohhg I can reply from my phone

[@antynikotyna]

Naomi Davila Haaah, that s funny fact

[@imadifferentpersonnow5155]

Sis rlly just poured out half her bottle of tea tree oil and told us to use a “little”

[@mireille6204]

Tina Kha two shots of vodka...

[@lovitomato2726]

She also "diluted" it with water... Which won't work that way bc OIL and water are immiscible...

[@QuanishaDandridge]

Since this lady/channel/video got so many negative comments & negativity! I am going to be different & say, “Hey we all make mistakes & give different details & information.” Thank you for trying to teach society on how to make their own at home products on a budget. 😍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@Jennloveschanel]

You don't even need anything else but the calamine. I've bought Kate Sommerville and Mario Badesco and calamine alone works great

[@naseemchoudhury7463]

Jenn Muntz so true

[@mirandawynn8982]

Jenn Muntz wait what!? calamine will shrink zits by itself?

[@TechnoJunkie109]

@@mirandawynn8982 yes!! It's basically bentonite clay

[@TechnoJunkie109]

@Joanna with the mixture you made? Just let it settle and then use it

[@TechnoJunkie109]

@Joanna idk then, sorry ;/

[@Maaars111]

My face😱 when she poured out the tea tree oil lol

[@MissEllolisoss]

No more Mario Badescu drying lotion! :P love this diy

[@mirandarobinson614]

FYI: you can use calamine lotion alone, & you can use it as a primer before makeup.

[@instafacts3155]

What was the point of pouring the calamine into the bowl when you could've just squeezed it into the bottle

[@greatgutentag]

This looks just like the Mario badescu drying lotion which I have wanted for forever! Thank you!

[@ursulaperry9109]

Thanks for the tip I always need help! Your tips are the best! X

[@marymaddalo8488]

OMG thank you so much popsugargurlsguide I have been waiting for something like this I have been struggling with blemishes for 12 weeks now in my t-zone nothing has been working so I'm praying that this works!!

[@abijo]

did it work?

[@paticita1012]

This looks just like the "Bye Bye Blemish" product sold at the Ulta store. I have it and it cost about $9.99. It works fairly well, but once I run out of it, I'll definitely try this DIY version! Thanks Kirbie!

[@RG-yk4xl]

Why the bowls??

[@medicinereminderandroidapp243]

if the treatment goes wrong, our face becomes horrible, i like the natural way . Thanks for your tip.

[@olivia4132]

BLESS YOU POPSUGAR

[@mariat5134]

Wait how do you dilute oil with water if they don’t mix?

[@mochaabunn]

You can't.. You literally can't. It'll separate and float to the top. XD She took so many extra steps. All you really need is to dilute some rubbing alcohol with water or which hazel and pour that in over the calamine lotion. You can get both of these ingredients at the dollar store. $2 and you have more than a year supply of this stuff.

[@nuryxx122]

Kelsie Snyder so I can dilute water or alcohol with calamine and it’ll work?

[@samthebam33]

Nury Xx No you mix witch hazel with water to dilute it, and mix that with calamine lotion

[@audreyjosephine9165]

This lasts me literally less than a month #acne

[@mikahlactpo]

I hear yah! Would you say this works pretty well though?? :)

[@willow7555]

But did it work?

[@audreyjosephine9165]

xXPotato GalXx not really pimple patches are better

[@evilstepqueen5848]

This reminds me of Kate Sommerville Eradikate! Except hers has sulfur in it, rather than the tea tree oil. But it's the pink calamine lotion color and you aren't supposed to shake it, you do the q-tip dip thing...Yep. But her version is $22 for that small 0.5 oz bottle!!! This is definitely a more cost effective way of zapping a zit!!

[@gracieg7036]

Can I use witch hazel instead of tea tree oil ?

[@paulinanicole21]

I just spent almost $20 on the Mario badescu drying lotion, when I could have made this for much cheaper... But it works wonders

[@chellie104]

It's actually only $12 in Chicago and lasts 6 months. Better to buy the badescu one and not have all those leftover ingredients!

[@shaylajacquelyn]

+chellie104 the point is you keep the ingredients and save money in the long run because you're not consistently repurchasing the products you just make more when you run out

[@marybee5502]

i wanna buy the mario bc i try to be aesthetic like dat then when im done ill do this heeh

[@jacksmith8140]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@jacksmith8140]

Have at least one lemon daily, either in the form of lemon juice or added to your vegetable or curry. Vitamin C helps to heal acne-prone skin more quickly and prevents the formation of new blemishes. For more details visit: acnetreatmentquick.com and thanks me later!!!

[@AbcdeDelizo]

I think I'll try this thanks!!!!! :)

[@am4yaa1519]

what can u use if u dont have astringent or tea tree oil?

[@GraSummer]

there was three ingrediants the title said two

[@smaarx93]

So? It's water, most people have that :P

[@greta336]

You only need water if you have tea tree oil and not the other thing

[@nicolek4366]

Why do we need to let the mixture settle? When you dip the q-tip in it combines two two products. Why not mix it in the first place? I don't know if there is a reason for this because you did not explain that part.

[@beautybyabbi275]

Wxactly what i was thinking like DO WHAT???

[@shaylajacquelyn]

+Nicole Tucker its not supposed to mix its supposed to settle separately. So when you dip your qtip in the first thing to hit your blemish is the astringent which is the outer layer and then the calamine lotion which reduces swelling and redness will dry onto your skin and protect it overnight. 2 products on the market like this. One is the mario bedescu drying lotion, it aactually works really well.

[@hafeezfarooq6476]

Nicole Tucker

[@dryroastedpnutta6253]

Can you make it with just calamine and salicylic acid

[@ChrisIsChaotic]

Hmm going to have to try this :3!

[@TheLoserbella]

I just buy the Kate Summerville one

[@maddiewong9706]

Does this actually work?

[@grmpyland]

this is like a diy drying lotion :o pretty cool;

[@ygergel]

Looks like Korean pink powder - and pink powders are not so harsh for sensitive skin.

[@cristofercardoza6657]

Hola

[@laurenmarie3007]

Yay

[@toriwolter6135]

what are some examples of liquid astringent???

[@giggles1219]

Tori Wolter Witch Hazel

[@faithf9025]

It didn't cure all of my acne but it made the pimples less red and got rid of some of the scars but remember only use this as a spot treatment don't put it all over your face

[@sbc34376]

Make dippin dots plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@gabiearsiaga6616]

What if your allergic to tea Tree oil? cause I am and is there a different substance I can use?

[@baconlover101010]

Use an astringent

[@karishmasingh5342]

Witch hazel

[@marselarene38]

just use straight witch hazel

[@stephh1725]

Does anyone know where I can buy this stuff in Germany?? it's too expensive on amazon..calamine lotion just doesn't exist here :'D

[@lexit6940]

steph ce eBay?

[@martinezruizmm]

I have the Mario Badescu but the clear liquid is gone. With what can I replace it? I've seen some ppl say water, witch hazel and alcohol. Help?!

[@nguyenta2330]

Same question

[@Andy-kw4ch]

Just let it sit and the clear liquid will rise to the top I think

[@marybee5502]

alcohal! if u look at the ingrediants it will say alcohal

[@shalisalobo657]

how long do i need to keep it on for??

[@marybee5502]

overnight

[@heidiguz15]

Is tea tree oil the same as melaleuca oil?

[@superfly4222]

no

[@nobodysbusiness9113]

Why can't you mix them?? Some please tell me

[@itsmefbk_5819]

That's like the Mario badescu drying lotion

[@agalexa7654865]

Is this a reupload ?

[@ChloeLuckin]

Is this suitable for sensitive skin? :)

[@Debbeeey]

i have a sensitive skin and i get A LOT more pimples from tea tree oil. but try it out first, maybe it works for you :)

[@matthewkandik8551]

I would think you'd want to use an astringent toner for sensitive skin instead of the tea tree oil if that irritates your skin, but the calamine shouldn't cause any problems. I personally love tea tree oil for everything, but it can be irritating on sensitive skin.

[@MissEadiePie]

Don't use calamine with sensitive skin - it dries it out and makes it irritated.

[@ChloeLuckin]

Thanks guys :)

[@thisvideosucks7117]

Try camameal oil its for sentive skin

[@Kayla-lz6ry]

What happens if you mix the ingridients together? I mean they're in the bottle together

[@heytherin6140]

Kayla the teetree disinfects the qtip

[@lucybreedlove2]

How come you can't just mix it together

[@yanyabage2378]

can we use coconut oil instead of tea tree oil????

[@jenfilms623]

noooooo

[@thevampirebitten5631]

Skip the tea trea oil,trust the calamine lotions itself works great as a blemish treatment :)

[@moralesska0131]

Mariou Bedescue or how ever it's spelled has the same treatment for like $30 I bought it

[@Lady_Stanley_]

How do you like that stuff? I have been thinking of buying it.

[@SerenityAglow]

Casey Armata I have it, I've tried it. It smells really chemical-ly. Honestly, I think it only works on zits/pimples with openings, because it dries the puss out. But pimples with no opening like the big ones that just HURT and feel rock hard...it doesn't do anything for those.

[@Lady_Stanley_]

SerenityAglow Thanks! The hard ones that hurt, are the ones I get. Apparently nothing topical will help those BC they are hormonal. My dermo put me on a pill that works pretty well. Thanks for the feedback!

[@SerenityAglow]

Casey Armata Np! Luckily for me out of all my flaws, pimples are on the lower scale lol. Yeesh, reading back on my comment, I sounded really blunt lol..must've been tired that day. But yea! No problem at all :]

[@Lady_Stanley_]

I thought your comment was very helpful. It's actually the exact information I was wondering about!

[@thirteennyree22]

on the title it said 2 ingredients not 3

[@stylezbyrobin5334]

ok

[@gloria_vdc]

Quelqu'un sait ce qu'est "calamine?"

[@meow-nv4bc]

can you use something other than calamine lotion?

[@valeriasolis00]

im allergic to calamine :(

[@HisBelovedQueen]

looks just like the eradikate! lol

[@stacychacko7420]

Is it ok if we add eucalyptus oil instead of tea tree oil ?

[@user-wv7wz2bj4v]

my calamine lotion is really liquidi i dont know what to do

[@Dmunnakashh]

Shake it up and then squeeze it in. The thickness could be settled at the bottom

[@myaalliah]

umm did this video not already happen here?

[@sunckin-2943]

Where dis you get the 1 oz bottle

[@riverpearson8871]

What do you think of get rid of your acne problem with Fopobiacne Secrets? I see lots of people keep on speaking about Fopobiacne Secrets.

[@Kurkul555]

She said 3 and the title sais only two ingredients

[@ericacosta987]

It says three but the title says two??

[@emmau.6401]

That isn’t PURE tea tree if you’re using that much. I use young living essential oils and only use 3-6 DROPS!

[@casper9181]

Emma U. It might be pure tea tree oil. Essential oils are more concentrated than just plain oil.

[@kayhere8863]

Why can't you just apply this all over your face ??

[@sarahvargas9545]

Kay Here it’s too harsh

[@casper9181]

It is meant to dry out the pimple/ absorb the oil, so putting it all over your face would dry your skin out and make it peel.

[@reaksaraksa7355]

Does it work? Anyone try it yet?

[@Mmfmfjdrndb]

It literally just smells like calamine lotion

[@ForevrFloral132021]

She said three ingridients instead of two!

[@hannahchapman5602]

Why she look like Betty's mom on riverdale??

[@KhyatiThakker]

Did this work for anyone?

[@rxquyou]

ok then I guess they would mix up numbers in 2014 !!!😉

[@janedoe143]

This is a re upload. How cheap

[@MissEadiePie]

I would not recommend calamine lotion - it drys out the skin and makes it more irritated!! Its best just to use the tea tree oil only.

[@tiny9538]

But make sure it's watered down!! When I was younger I tried to use tea tree oil on my face because I was ashamed of my zits and I ended up burning my face.

[@oabby1348]

Kyler White me too :(
