The famous pink-and-white spot treatment: sulfur and salicylic acid go after the blemish while calamine and zinc oxide calm redness and dry things out overnight. You're supposed to dip a cotton swab into the settled pink layer at the bottom of the bottle rather than shake it, since the layer on top is mostly calamine and alcohol. It's blunt and a little old-school, but it still works for zapping a single whitehead fast.
