Hi beautiful people,
It is not news that I have a pizza face 🍕 in the past. I am sorry to say that adult acne just won’t just disappeared on its own. I know many people would say it is cheaper to go to
see a dermatologist but the trouble of it is just too much for me. I rather just
order products online😂 than all.
Still, I would suggest you to go see a good dermatologist if you can and don't self treat your acne like I do.
Still, I would suggest you to go see a good dermatologist if you can and don't self treat your acne like I do.
So here are the Top under USD25 skincare products for acne prone
skin that I have been using to treat my acne. There are many products out there but I haven't get to try them all because I like to test my products for at least a month. I do use a lot of tea tree products and centella asiatica.
All the products below are the products that I have been
consistently using for few months or more. Also check the ingredients since some people cannot use lavender, alcohol or some just don't like the preservative inside some of these products. For those have some sort of fungal acne, avoid oil cleansers and ferments.

Nightingale Teatamin Sleeping Mask |
Nightingale Teatamin Sleeping Mask
Don't let the cheap tacky packaging fool you. This is a sleeping mask that I have been using for a month and just love it since the day I purchase it despite the price being almost equal with the famous Laneige sleeping mask. There are tea tree, BHA, AHA, mild form of Vitamin A, plant ingredients such as eggplant and centella asiatica inside it but it just works to flatten out those pesky cystic acne the next day. If your skin can handle tea tree, this is surely the go to for sleeping mask.

I’M From Mugwort Mask |
Mugwort the other name being Artemisia has been getting popular these day for being the item that calms down the irritated skin or skin problem like acne. I do like this mugwort mask for calming down my skin when it is irritated from the weather and keeping my skin less red. It is the go to ingredient for those with acne prone skin but cannot use ingredients like BHA, AHA or tea tree.
Iunik Tea Tree Relief Serum |
This is a very gentle serum for acne prone skin so you do have to use it with other acne spot treatment else one cannot really see the effect. It prevents underground acne from forming so I do need to use it daily. As for immediate result, I combine it with the neem herbs to reduce the duration of the acne staying on my face.

Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA Serum |
This serum is strong so if you find that the Some By Mi toner not doing anything, than try this serum instead. It does bring out all the underground acne and caused me purging for 2 weeks. When I start healing, my skin just look so smooth to the point my colleagues was asking me what I "eat" to suddenly have flawless skin.

Purito Centella Green Level Serum |
Purito Centella Green Level Serum
This is a light centella asiatica serum that speeds up healing of those acne prone wound and prevent those pus. Jude Chao from Fifty Shades of Snails gifted me this and she is also loving the centella toner too. I can ensure you the opinion is mine. This products also got rave from other friends and on social media. It doesn't prevent acne or flatten the acne but it sure speed up the healing of the skin.
Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream
This is nice cream for cooling down the skin at night. It is not hydrating since it is a treatment product. It is great for skin that always feel warm. I use this at night and it is just nice to reduce redness overnight especially if you go for laser procedures or after some extraction at those skin clinics.

Chica Y Chico Tota 3.0 |
Chica Y Chico Tota 3.0
It contains Totarol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract which are really ingredients that work for my skin. This cream is also a dupe of some very expensive western brand cream. This is a product that works on the skin if you are hardworking to apply it twice or three times a day and everyday for at least two weeks. This is a product that I have been using for acne prone skin since 2014. This is the product for those that have problem with sebum clogging the pores.Full reviewed Here
Himalaya Pure Herbs Neem |
Himalaya Pure Herbs Neem
If Aryuvedic herbs are more of your thing, then considered trying this Neem herbs. I don't like the Neem oil and find that neem powder works better for my acne prone skin. You can either eat the capsules one tablet per day or just use the powder topical to reduce the inflammation on the skin. It is however not for pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Some people also use it as an alternative to birth control for their irregular female hormone.

This is a gentle daily AHA toner to reduce inflammation since it has antimicrobial or antibacterial abilities. It helps to prevent spread of acne causing bacteria while at the same time being gentle since it has a big molecules compare to gylocic acid. Mandelic acid make cell turnover faster by dissolving the bonds that hold skin cells together so some people would see less dull skin.

Oxygen Women And Skin Toner |
Oxygen Women And Skin Toner
This is an organic gentle toner from New Zealand that is just wonderful in reducing pimples. I use it without other serum or other skincare products except for my usual cleanser and I am surprised this just works well even when it is just a toner. It comes in a spray form so it is easy to apply and it dries down really fast. It doesn't have any strong actives so for those that cannot use those AHA, BHA, retinol then I guess this toner works well. It uses Organic Raspberry Water and New Zealand Organic Hops along with some other organic seaweed to reduce acne without being too strong on the skin. Also it doesn't contain paraben, colouring or harmful ingredients.

This is 100% centella asiatica and it comes in a huge bottle of 100ml. It is safe even for pregnant mothers since it is herbs used post child birth to speed up healing during confinement. Some people also drink the centella asiatica to just calm the skin and reduce acne. This is a product that I do need to use with other acne products because I only see hydrating properties if I use it alone. Combination of this with other acne products hydrate the skin reduce acne damage, reduce red scars and dark scars.

Alivelab Centella Dressing Powder |
Alivelab Centella Dressing Powder
This a product that you will constantly see it on my blog and also my constant recommendation. I know some people will never heard of it because it is not a big company. The bottle is sure small though being 8g. If your skin is the type that cannot use any exfoliating actives, then try using this centella powder to help to reduce irritation, reduce redness, calm your skin and reduce acne scars. I love using this and went through so many bottles of it already.

So that are all my Top under USD25 skincare products for acne prone skin without make a big hole in your pocket. You don't have to use exactly what I use in order to get rid of your acne. Look through the ingredients and research the product you need (a cleanser or cream or serum) . Don't use the whole bunch of 10 products on your face because that is just recipe for disaster. Best to have around 3-5 products in your routine and there is no need for 10 long skincare steps.
The products are available on Amazon , Wishtrend , StyleKorean, Beautytap, Althea Korea website,
Ishatarskinlight , TNS Skin Lab(malaysia) and Worthee Cosmetics (Malaysia)
