Can you tell me what is the best and fastest way to get rid of pimples/acne pleaseee!?

No quick fix: Sorry. Acne is a serious, chronic illness unrelated to hygiene or lifestyle and only marginally to diet. Forget all the "pop" wisdom. Until it self-cures, use topical benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and/or a retinoic acid derivative as tolerated. If you're not clear in two weeks, get with your physician. Be prepared to manage this for years or decades.
