What’s the difference between pimples and acne?
Getting acne answers from some of our readers:
I got rid of most of my acne using St.Ive’s apricot scrub thingy. Now I’m using it for my pimples, and it’s working, but much slower than the acne. What is the difference between pimples and acne, and is there a way to get rid of pimples faster?

i always thought pimple or zit referred to a single blemish while acne referred a more widespread “breaking out”
Ance is everything on ur face overall that you get from grease and oil..and pimples are one specific “ball” of oil and dirt under the thing layer of skin.
Use a bar of soap that is “skin sensitive” so it’ll take off most oil and dirt. Wash ur face everyday, once in the morning and once at night.
Pimples are periodic, and acne is a cronic condition. If you just break out every so often, then It is pimples, but if you STAY broke out it is considered acne. hope this helps.
there is no difference between pimples and acne because there both the same. acne is just alot of pimples together. but to get rid of them use proactiv, face mask scrub, or clean and clear. either of those would probably work. if they dont, ask a doctor to recommend something for u
pimples are more dry and acne is red and hurts whenyou touch it and can leave bad bruises if popped.
i dont know the difference but put a dab of vick’s vaporub on ur pimple…..itll dry it out in a few hours……seriously…i do it all tha time
