I would like to find an acne treatment that actually works, but I’m on a tight budget. Are there any good home remedies? or cheap store options?

Hmm..
Well a few months ago, I used to put some shaving cream on my pimples. It has benzyol peroxide in it, so I guess it kills acne bacteria and dries it out. It actually worked for me! I wouldn’t put it all over your face though, it’ll dry your skin. I usually put it on before bed and then washed my face in the morning. Also, check out these sites. They have some interesting home remedies!

Hope this helps.

Understanding your acne is an important first step to acne treatment.
Suggest you do some reading first
Visiting a dermatologist may be a good option and may actually be cheaper in the long run

You’re smart to decide not to waste money on those products that swear they’ll clear up your acne. I’ve had so many friends that lost a lot of money just to get acne treatments that didn’t work and really hurt/burned when they applied them.
You might try a simple wash/scrub/generic med routine. Some of the generic treatments provide the same effect as the expensive stuff.

Cleansing the skin in natural acne treatments is usually done twice a day with a gentle cleanser. These cleansers can be soaps with lemon oil, olive oil, or almond oil. The lemon oil is known to be a great ingredient in the fight against acne as it has antibacterial properties. After cleansing one can tone the skin with apple cider vinegar, rosewater, or aloe. By using a toner before applying a moisturizer, one is sure to get rid of excess residue from the cleanser and other dirt and skin cells. A good toner also tightens the pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
