I know it has been asked a lot... but would the skin specialists out there answer an acne treatment Q please?

I have pretty average acne for a teenager, and have never really bothered much about it but i would like to start something. The most advertised products out there are proactive and clinique 3 step. I went to do some reasearch and was absolutly overwhelmed. There are so many websites and it is really impossible to tell how reliable they are, or even if they are run by a company!





So, dermatoligists or anyone who knows about skin, of the low-priced range, what is the safest for skin?





I%26#039;m more interested in long-term skin care than a treatment which will damage my skin in the long run but solve my acne now.





After safety, of course, I%26#039;d like to get the most effective.





I know this question has been asked many times, so i appreciate your answers! Basically, I would like to know which low-price-range treatments are safest, and then which are most effective.





Thankyou!!!


Sweet|||It%26#039;s different for everyone sadly, but here are a few of the products I think are staples in a good acne regimen:


Cleansers:


Cheap - Cetaphil Oily


Mid - Effaclar Foaming Gel by Biomedic


Expensive - Obagi Clenziderm Step 1


Spot Treatment-


Mid-Effaclar K Acne Spot treatment Biomedic


Moisturizer


Effaclar Active Matte Biomedic


Sunscreen - Obagi Healthy Skin protection (this is a bit expensive but absolutely worth every penny)


Makeup that helps with acne


Jane Iredale - disappear is a concealer that has ingredients to help breakouts heal faster


Jane Iredale Balance Spray|||Well 1st all, people have different types of skin and all that. But Proactive did not work for me. Im using this stuff called Murad right now, it%26#039;s kinda working. I think it%26#039;s also cuz of my diet and lack of exercise, i%26#039;m so embarassed because of my acne and it sucks really bad. Hope you figure something out before it gets worse
