We know there’s no such thing as perfection, but Jennifer Aniston gets pretty close! The Friends alum has been shining on and off screen for decades, dazzling Us with her natural beauty and effortless charm. But let’s not forget that stars are just like Us! They occasionally deal with annoying acne like everyone else. The difference? Celebs have A-list access to the best dermatologists and insider beauty secrets. So, what does Aniston do when a pesky pimple appears?

“First I roll my eyes and get annoyed, and usually I will put some sort of a drying lotion on,” The Morning Show actress told Elle in 2015. “I don’t pick it, although I used to. Mario Badescu has a great drying lotion that I used for years and years. I had a facial there in, like, 1995 and I’ve been using it ever since. I switch it up though. It’s like switching up your exercise.”

I’ve also used this cult-favorite blemish treatment for years and can confirm that it really works! Keep reading for more details on how to zap those zits!

To use, dip a Q-tip into the sediment at the bottom of the bottle and apply onto the surface blemish or bump. Then let dry and rinse off the next day! Super easy. Make sure you do not shake the bottle! It’s all part of the process.
