Best Teen Acne Products Under $10

Stephanie Espiritu
A lot of companies claim to have the best products to combat acne, and some are true to their word, but the costs start at $40 and go up past $100 which isn't very affordable to the consumer.

Not only is cost a factor but so is product ingredients, effectiveness, and what audience it targets. Keeping all of that in mind here is a list of affordable skin care products under $10 that are geared towards teens.

"Skinfo" offers a wide range of facial products such as moisturizers, cleansers, toners, and anti-blemish products. For example "Skinfo Clear Skin 5% Acne Gel" contains benzoyl peroxide that kills bacteria and sells for $10. For moisturizing, "EltaMD" not only provides hydration but also works well on minor burns and sells for $10 or to buy several items at once (bundle kits) include 3 creams that treat acne and repair damage caused by acne. For additional information or to buy on line visit www.skininfo.com.

"Teens Turning Green" sells products that are without toxic chemicals which promote healthier bodies and a healthier planet. "Deep Sea Foam Facial Cleanser" is referred to as "a dream product that leaves the skin looking clearer and softer than ever." This cleanser sells for $6.99 and contains marine botanicals to remove impurities and leaves the skin clean, soft, and nourished. "Pomega5 Cleansing Bar" is said to be "beyond incredible" and one teen claims it is "the only cleansing bar she would ever want." This product contains clarifying and exfoliating ingredients as well as eucalyptus, lemongrass, and lavender oils and sells for only $10.00. To view more products go to www.teensturninggreen.com or visit your local "Whole Foods" store.

"Skin Blossom's" mission is to bring safe and effective skin care to people at affordable prices. Their "Gentle Cleansing Milk" sells for $4.95 and is nutrient rich milk which cleans the skin and leaves it soft and comfortable. The Skin Blossom products do not contain harsh or toxic ingredients such as parabens. They only contain ingredients from nature; organic plant oils. Another popular product is the "Organic Bloom Nourishing Moisturizer" that contains Jojoba oil, Shea butter, and Vitamin E. This product sells for $6.95 and is sulfate free. These items are not sold in stores so log on to www.mypure.co.uk for a full product listing.

Not everyone feels comfortable purchasing skin care products from new or unknown companies and if that is the case visiting a department or local drugstore would be more beneficial. The average drug store carries a vast array of products for under $10 such as "Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash," "Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream," "Clean & Clear Foaming Facial Oil-Free Cleanser," "Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser," "Clearasil Ultra Acne Clearing Gel Wash," "Stridex Dual Solutions Intensive Acne Repair," "Oxy Cleansing Pads Acne Treatment, Maximum," and "PanOxyl Maximum Strength Acne Cleansing Bar."

Keeping skin clean is an important part of personal hygiene and in order for a teen to care for themselves properly; they need the best products with the best price.

    What you use on your skin can either help it or harm it, depending on what's in the product.

    Therefore, it's important to consider the ingredients in ALL the products you use - like those on your hair as well as your skin. Research is showing a buildup of chemicals on the skin can cause acne, dryness (which leads to prematurely aging skin) and skin cancer.

    The best treatments for any age or type skin are gentle ones that are effective. Chemicals are not gentle or effective. In fact, research is showing that a buildup of chemicals on the skin can cause acne, dryness (which leads to prematurely aging skin) and skin cancer.

    The best products are those with the highest quality ingredients, not the highest price.'¨'¨'¨'¨With so many manufacturers using chemicals in their products, almost any product - cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving creams, conditioners, hair gels, sunscreens and makeup - can be causing breakouts on your face and body.
