Many people do this for fun. Post a few pictures here and let anyone interested take a crack at it, and post their results here. Warning: results may be cruel and / or hilarious.
Proceed with caution!

You could try to use photoshop.

I can do it hit me up.

This is dead fucking simple to do with CS5 Camera Raw or Photoshop. Would take you just a few seconds.

This actually is not that good of a tutorial, but it gives you an idea how to do it. I suggest that you use heal not clone. Just make the brush a little bigger than the zit and click. You can change which area it takes a sample from after you do it (you will see what I mean after you click a zit) and since it is all done in Camera RAW it is non-destructive (meaning it can always be undone). It is dead simple. The photos can be JPG format too. They do not need to be RAW format.

Poor girl, I wonder if she signed up for that.

I have the same need. I'm webmaster of a pay site. I can use Photoshop, have done it a lot. It's just that when you have zits on 150 pictures, it gets boring, so I'm thinking, I have heard of all kinds of services one can get done for very competitive prices globally.

That's the sort of thing I do for fun :upsidedow

Me too, willing to help if needed!

try putting it on mechanical turk?

Have you tried using Smart Blur and the Batch command in Photoshop? It won't be perfect but it may be easier than doing each image one at a time.

Thanks, Damian, I had not heard of MT.

Thanks to those offering help for free, but don't you think you'd get tired of retouching a couple hundred pictures every week?

Any filter which is strong enough to remove zits will leave the skin looking like plastic, no texture. It must be manual.

Didn't know you had more then hundred a week .. And it really all depends on the quality of the pictures and how clean you want them to be ..

Just to clarify - the free help is just comedy stuff that will produce you a set of pics of a model with a cock for a nose.

Although for repetitive stuff I can just put some music on and then completely focus on the job I don't know if i'd get bored of doing it properly or not and have no idea what sort of price either.

Pleasure, its very useful for very mundane repetitive tasks
