We think we're all in agreement when we say we hate the sight of a newly-emerged pimple. You've done everything in your power to not get zits—stick to your skincare routine, not touch your face, and maintain a proper diet—but somehow, your skin decides to *betray* you by breaking out. Before you pick at the zit in annoyance, remember that doing so will only make it worse. We suggest using spot treatments to nip them in the bud before they get worse. Below, we rounded up the best ones under P350:
