hands down best acne management product i've used at any price. it definitely doesn't foam, if that's something you want, but leave this on your face for 2min once per day and watch the acne go down. if i keep this in my routine regularly i only get ...
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
one of my fav cleansers for daily use that gently treats acne and helps with skin cell turnover. i can use this up to 2x per day without any irritation or dryness, best to leave on for 1+ min so the salicylic acid has time to penetrate your skin
CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser
this is in an insanely large bottle for $12 and nice gentle formula for everyday, i think many skin types could use this too

treatments
benzoyl peroxide is the best ingredient for spot treatment and i'll stand on that!!! this puts it in a nice formula at a great price and it just works – makes acne shrink and go away faster without being overly drying
Fade Away - Bubble Skincare

Amazon - Bubble Fade Away
just recently purchased this and i'm shook by how well it works!! apply it as a mask to your oily/congested/breakout areas and by the next day you will see a significant improvement and pimples will appear flatter. works great for blackheads, whitehe...
De La Cruz Acne Treatment 10% Sulfur
not the prettiest but this is the cheapest adapalene formula and feels the exact same as the differin version (not true of all cvs brand replicas!!). best retinol you can get otc
CVS Health Adapalene Gel USP 0.1% Topical Acne Treatment
you get sooo many for the price, each sheet individually packaged so protected from moisture, and diff sizes to choose from too. super thin which makes them harder to see on the skin, love these for day and night
Rael Pimple Patches, Invisible Spot Cover
exfoliation
the most affordable and effective skin resurfacing treatment i've used! i would use it 1x per week tops and make sure you are applying sunscreen liberally in the days after/in general!!! if you don't or can't commit to using sunscreen do not use this...

amazing gentle but effective bha toner by peach slices which is owned by peach and lily! comparable to paula's choice bha 2% but at a way better price
Acne Exfoliating Toner - Peach Slices
most affordable and effective aha toner i've found!! also multi use – great for brightening and removing dead skin, but can also be used as a scalp exfoliator (helps with buildup and oily scalp) and under the arms to kill odorous bacteria
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner - The Ordinary | Ulta Beauty
moisturizing/misc
sooo nice and gentle, hydrating and satisfying to use. love the spray option too!!! and packaging is just so cute in the bathroom.
Hydrating Milky Toner - Byoma
my perfect texture in a moisturizer as an oily skin girlie and the packaging makes it so fun to use! just a little more hydration than a clear gel moisturizer would give you.
Cloud Surf - Bubble Skincare

Amazon - Bubble Cloud Surf
cooling metal applicator feels so nice and the slight tint and reflect does help brighten the under eyes just enough!!
Bright Eyes Brightening Under Eye Cream | Hero Cosmetics
idk how more people aren't talking about this!!! this treats post blemish skin while COVERING REDNESSSSS in such a natural way. this looks like you're wearing nothing but can be built up to cover a lot of redness. iconic and comparable to the way mor...
Rescue Balm +Red Correct | 15 ml - Hero Cosmetics
omg i loveee this stuff for barrier support especially when i am using a lot of actives for my acne - lightweight gel texture that instantly sinks into the skin but leaves behind hydration. also lovely around the eye area and leaves everything smooth...
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5, Repair Gel
thicker than the other moisturizers on the list if that's something you need but still not heavy, you get such a generous amount for the price and i use this on the drier parts of my face like my cheeks, dried up acne spots, and my neck. ceramides he...
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, 12 oz
sunscreen
this just feels like a lightweight moisturizer, super gentle on the skin and near the eye area too. one of the best sunscreens at this price per oz
innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 36
the best and thinnest sunscreen i've ever used as an oily girl. almost the texture of a toner that's how thin it is! i wish it were a bit cheaper but when i have a little extra $ this is my favorite sunscreen especially in the summer
