Acne is a common skin disease that affects an estimated 85% of people at some point in their lives.

Symptoms include pesky pimples that can be frustrating and difficult to get rid of.

While conventional treatments can get rid of pimples, they’re often associated with adverse effects, such as skin irritation and dryness.

As such, a lot of people have turned to natural alternatives to get rid of pimples fast. However, while there are a lot of natural acne remedies out there, only a handful are scientifically proven to help.

Here are 4 natural ways to get rid of pimples fast, although they may have limited research supporting their effectiveness for this purpose.

1. Spot treat with tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is extracted from the leaves of the tree Melaleuca alternifolia, which is native to Australia.

It’s well known for its ability to fight bacteria and reduce skin inflammation. Specifically, tea tree oil helps fight P. acnes and S. epidermidis, two types of bacteria that can cause pimples (1, 2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).

One study found that 5% tea tree oil gel was almost four times more effective at reducing acne lesions and almost six times more effective at reducing acne severity than a placebo (4Trusted Source).

In another study, a gel containing 5% tea tree oil was proven equally effective at reducing pimples as a lotion containing 5% benzoyl peroxide, a common acne medication (5Trusted Source).

The tea tree oil treatment also resulted in fewer adverse effects, including dryness, irritation, and burning.

It’s important to note that tea tree oil is very potent and can cause redness and irritation when applied directly to the skin. For this reason, it should be diluted with a carrier oil.

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, only a small amount of research has been conducted on the topical use of tea tree oil for health conditions, and a limited amount of research indicates that tea tree oil might be helpful for acne (6).

If you choose to try please it, use it safely and always perform a test patch on your skin, as tea tree oil can be very irritating and should never be applied undiluted to the skin.

You can purchase both tea tree oil and carrier oils online.
