Post-Care Is Important Post-pop, Lee recommends pressing a cold washcloth against the skin, it will help calm any inflammation and unsightly redness. Next, use a teeny-tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to disinfect just the area. The finishing touch? A spot treatment to help keep the skin clear. Those containing salicylic acid, like Philosophy Clear Days Ahead Fast-Acting Salicylic Acid Acne Spot Treatment, $19, are one good option, though Lee notes that if your skin is on the sensitive side, a sulfur-based option is your best bet. One to try: Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment, $26.
