Throughout all of high school, I washed my face with a bar of soap and water — I almost never dealt with acne. But as soon as I hit my 20s, zits started popping up regularly and I knew I had to take my skincare routine more seriously. As a shopping editor, I have tried hundreds of beauty products, but I have found that the tried-and-true drugstore formulas work best for my pimples. With my improved daily routine, I rarely ever have to deal with acne anymore.
If you need help getting stubborn blemishes under control, I have curated a list of the products that work best for me, all on Amazon and under $22. From a top-rated toner to a clarifying face mask and everything in between, these formulas could help you get those pimples under control for good. With such affordable prices, you might as well try out a few. Read on for all the details.
Clean & Clear Maximum Strength Persa-Gel 10
When in doubt, I can always rely on Clean & Clear Maximum Strength Persa-Gel 10 ($5) to blast stubborn zits overnight. I use it as a spot treatment before I go to bed and when I wash it off in the morning, pimples are significantly reduced if not totally gone.
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera
This Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera ($18, set of two) is a great daily product that keeps my skin clean and unclogged. It's more gentle than typical toners, so it's ideal for sensitive skin. I appreciate that it isn't drying — my face feels refreshed after I apply it with a cotton pad.
Neutrogena Acne Proofing Daily Facial Scrub with Salicylic Acid
I use this Neutrogena Acne Proofing Daily Facial Scrub with Salicylic Acid ($7, originally $9) in the shower about twice a week. It includes little beads that buff away flakes. I have also noticed that it reduces redness.
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque
I also use this The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque ($21) when I'm having a particularly bad breakout. It sucks out any gunk really well and when I wash it off, my skin immediately feels smooth and appears brighter. I feel like I got a professional facial after I use this.
L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Face Mask with Charcoal
This L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Face Mask with Charcoal ($7) is another affordable mask I have found really effective. Over 1,300 customers have reviewed this mask on Amazon and 70 percent of users give it a perfect five stars.
Neutrogena Oil-Free Daily Facial Moisturiser for Sensitive Skin
It's important to keep your skin moisturised after using acne-fighting products, otherwise it will become even more irritated. This Neutrogena Oil-Free Daily Facial Moisturiser for Sensitive Skin ($10) keeps my face quenched without any greasy residue. It works wonders for acne-prone skin.
Mario Badescu Anti-Acne Serum
I have found that this Mario Badescu Anti-Acne Serum ($20) is particularly great at eliminating blackheads from my nose and chin. All you need to do is apply a thin layer and let it sit overnight.
