i have acne on my face. only on my forehead and chin. but its really bad in those areas. i try to refrain from using proactiv and stuff like that cuz ive been told it makes your skin very irritated and flaky. i use an acne wash and acne cream whenever i have the energy to do so. only at night. during the day i totally forget.
but i cant afford any of that name brand stuff on TV but i need something over the counter that works reaally really well. that wont make my skin flaky, will clear it up, keep it clear, and nurish it. :( help?

Also watch t he foods you eat to cut back on oil that builds up in the pores. [ jmilsan's advice column | Ask jmilsan A Question ]
As for the dry skin part, moisturizer is the best solution =] Clean and Clear is very inexpensive and lasts a long time.
Also, the store brand versions of all these products [even the lemon juice!] will work just the same. So unless you're allergic to a certain ingredient, going with the lower-cost option won't hurt anything.
