What do you suggest for a FAST clear up for whiteheads?

I have whiteheads under my eyes and I just started using tazorac for that and occasional breakouts. Unfortantely there has been no results and it's been a week. Do you suggest something different. My friend uses cleocin t lotion, is that better?

Niclole:

Whiteheads take a lot longer than a week to clear up, and frankly, medications don't do all that great a job of clearing them.  If you want them gone fast, you should consider having a facial, in which an esthetician cleans them out.  Of course, that doesn't prevent them from coming back, but using medication may hep with that.

Best.
