Acne is a common skin condition. I used to have an acne breakout and tried a lot of products to get rid of it. These days, my skin is clearer. I can now leave the house without a foundation to cover my acne. One of the things I learned from those years of trying to get rid of my acne breakout is that an expensive product does not mean it will surely work on you. It’s trial and error, find the one that will suit your skin. Choose products that have ingredients that will help your skin instead of trying what’s new and what’s trendy from social media. Below are the best facial washes for acne under 500 pesos that I personally used.
1. Klued 2% Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser -Hand’s down, one of the best salicylic acid cleansers I ever used. And I heard some dermatologists even prescribe this to their patients. It foams and cleanses your skin without drying it out. It is non-irritating and a little goes a long way. You can even use this on your body to get rid of bacne. You can buy this in Lazada and Shopee.
2. QuickFX Pimple Eraser Facial Gel Cleanser – This one is for those who want to use a salicylic acid facial cleanser but have sensitive skin. It’s a non-foaming gel cleanser so it does not dry your skin or irritate it but still cleanses it. This is also easy to find, it’s available in Watson’s stores and also in Lazada and Shopee.
3. Human Nature Acne Defense Facial Wash – If salicylic acid is too strong for you, I recommend Tea Tree. This facial wash also contains aloe vera to soothe your skin. It is a non-abrasive, alcohol-free facial wash that combats pimples without harsh chemicals that can irritate skin. You can buy this in supermarkets, drug stores, Lazada, and Shopee.
4. Oxecure pH 5.5 Gentle Cleanser – This one I highly recommend for those with sensitive skin and eczema. But it will also suit all skin types and can even be used on your body. It’s hypoallergenic and fragrance-free. It foams and is also non-drying. You can buy this at Watson’s, Lazada, and Shopee.
