Off the Shelf Products that Help Manage Acne

Do you have a problem with acne? Have you spent tons of money on countless products only to find out that what was promised on the product label was all just a bunch of false advertising? I've had a problem with acne myself as well and I, too, have fallen for quite a few advertised gimmicks on acne products. Read on to find out which three off the shelf acne products I live by.

1. Neutrogena Clear Pore
I absolutely love the Neutrogena Clear Pore because it can be used two ways. Not only does it serve as a cleanser, but it can also be used as a mask! It can be used as a daily cleanser to eliminate bacteria that causes breakouts. Or it can be used as a mask for deep cleansing. As it penetrates into your pores, you'll get this cool sensation on your face. This tiny bottle of magic truly works wonders on my face! It washes away the oil and dirt buildup and leaves you feeling refreshed. You can get this at any store for about $7. Though it may sound quite expensive, it actually lasts quite a while. I use it daily and it lasts me longer than a month.

2. Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick with Tea Tree Oil
This natural herbal blemish stick is used to refine and tone pores. It's also used to correct imbalances that create breakouts. There's a really strong herbal smell to it, but I highly recommend using this product to rid acne because it truly works. It dries up pimples in no time. I use it twice a day, after I wash my face in the morning and right before I go to bed at night (after using the Neutrogena Clear Pore to rid excess buildup my pores have trapped during the day). This blemish stick sells for $7 as well at any pharmacy or convenience store. But I have to warn you, this blemish stick will collect all of your dead skin cells. It's really disgusting, but you can clean it out once in a while. You can do this by pouring the contents of the stick into a paper cup while using a small food strainer and then pouring what is in the cup back into the stick.

3. Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets
The package contains 50 oil absorbing sheets that remove oil and shine from your face. What's so great about this product is that it doesn't smudge makeup or leave behind powdery stuff on your face. It's also really compact and can be put anywhere, from your purse to the front pocket of your backpack! The tiny package costs around $5 and is totally worth it since it can be used anytime, anywhere throughout the day.
