Use BHA (since they're fat soluble, and you likely have oily skin) to exfoliate your skin, and utilize retinoids (retinol, retinaldehyde, adapalene, tretinoin, ..., the stronger you can get really) to improve skin texture.

That's really it. Here's a sample skincare routine:

AM:
- SA Cleanser / Water
- Water-based moisturizer / None if you washed your face with water
- Light-weight sunscreen

PM:
- SA Cleanser
- Retinoid
- Water-based moisturizer

Yeah, that's just that, a pimple, hormonal fluctuations, the routine I provided will more than likely help with it too. Just don't pop it or touch it too much, if it hurts you can try to ice your face to reduce the inflammation and redness a little, but that's treating the symptom not the root cause.

Retinoids will help prevent more pimples and comedones from forming (and other amazing things), and BHAs like salicylic acid will help remove the pimples you already have.
