Real talk: Mindy Kaling is one of the funniest women on the planet. And she's not afraid to post a pimple-ridden selfie online (bless her). In one Instagram post, she sports spot treatment on her face, writing in the caption, "That zit cream in your 30s life. At least I'm not going on "The Tonight Show" later today."

Kaling's acne-fighting secret? She shared it in her memoir, "Why Not Me?". Kaling wrote that she relies on a pretty damn high-tech device. "I bought this wand, the Tria Acne Clearing Blue Light, from my dermatologist's office," said Kaling in her book. "At one point I was spending so much time with the device that I started calling him Wall-E. He looks like a fancy sex toy from Japan. His job is to 'eliminate acne-causing bacteria deep beneath the skin's surface,' and I have to hold him pressed against my face for twenty minutes every night."

BTW: Kaling went on to say that "Wall-E" feels like a "tiny white-hot iron you are pressing against your already-sensitive pimple. It's hellish. But it's very effective at squashing and destroying pimples, so you don't care."

Katy Perry isn't shy -- and that goes for whether she's putting Taylor Swift on blast or talking about her skin issues. The "Swish, Swish" singer even used to be a Proactiv spokesperson. "You would think I would be the most confident person, but the most confident person still has their moments," Perry said in a commercial for the brand. "A lot of my insecure moments related to my face and to my skin problems." In the commercial, she points to her mouth, nothing that she had blemishes around it. "I wanted to hide," she said.

In an interview with Refinery29, Perry said that even though she no longer works with Proactiv, she still uses their products, citing their Skin Smoothing Exfoliator as one of her faves.

"Royals" crooner Lorde might only be 20 years old, but she's wise beyond her years. In a Twitter post, she pointed out the difference between two photos of herself from the same day -- one had been touched up and one hadn't. "I find this curious -- two photos from the same day, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. Remember flaws are ok :-)"

She also snapped a pic of herself treating her skin and shared it with her 5.7 million Instagram followers. "In bed in Paris with my acne cream on," she wrote in the caption.

The "La La Land" actress told Refinery29 that she used Accutane, a powerful prescription acne med. "I'm actually pretty interested in skin care, because I had bad hormonal acne when I was 17, and they put me on Accutane for it," she said in the interview. After two months on the Accutane, I went off of it, and since then, my skin, my mouth, my lips, my eyes are all so dry."

Fun fact: After going off Accutane, Stone said she got stress acne -- and that it was airbrushed out of her breakout (see what we did there?) movie, "Easy A." "I realized how debilitating and embarrassing it can be to have cystic acne," she said. "So I'm really interested in the biology of what makes up acne and how to work on it from the outside, too."

Like Perry, "Dancing with the Stars" pro Julianne Hough was also a Proactiv spokesperson back in the day. In an interview with the Beauty Bean, she described her acne as "horrible." She elaborated: "You know, again, you try to tell yourself that you're fine and it's all good -- and you really should be fine -- but it definitely affects you, so you want to do what you can to make you feel good. Not to worry so much about what everybody sees, but to do what makes you feel good on the inside."

In a blog post on her own website, Hough recommended the Proactiv Skin Purifying Mask as an overnight blemish treatment. "When it comes to pimples, you want to have a strong defense, and this tube of unicorn cream is one of the biggest reasons!" she wrote. "It works really hard while you're sleeping and when you wake up, you won't believe the difference."
