I'm having a spotty time of it at the moment. There's a lot going on and most of it is sad or stressful or both, but you have to understand that I don't really get spots. I will allow all the other encroaching signs of age: grey hair, thickening middle, uncontrollable grouchiness, intolerable 'Iknowbetternyou'ness, but I will not have spots on my face. It's too much.
Anyway, of course I do get spots every now and again. I am only human, after all. But some years ago The Artist told me about Johnson's spot gel and I am now evangelical about it. It's not expensive, you don't need too much of it and it only stings a little bit. I'm using a tube of it a day on my face at the moment and it's doing a very good job. I had to wear my specs out with my mother the other day (which I don't normally do in case she takes them off my face so I can't see and then expects me to get the right bus home, like she did when I was a teenager) but that spot was enough to frighten small children, and the glasses covered it. Two days later, the spot gel has got it on the run.
Alternatively, you can use toothpaste. I'll leave it up to you.

oh how interesting. i have bought a witch hazel stick as i'm spotty too right now so annoying and frankly not on at our age (as you so aptly point out). you must tell me exactly what it is on thurs. i'm not sure about toothpaste. am scared of re-appropriating things after someone told me head and shoulders was good for white patches on your skin. i used it and got a massive rash all over - despite using it on my head for years.
