What is the best affordable acne face wash?
I constantly have acne , no matter how well I wash my face and such (probably because of PCOS) . I've tried a few, but nothing seems to work. Thanks .

What skintype do you have? Sometimes acne is caused by the skin being too dry, so you get a lot of grease build-up.
If you're on a budget, I'd actually try just using a gentle soap, and washing your face with warm water mixed with salt water once daily. Then use an unscented moisturizer that is not overly greasy and absorbs quickly? It's all about finding what works for your face though.
Charcoal masks are amazing as well. I do them once ever two days or so. I use the "Origins" one. A little goes a long way.
I have really temperamental skin too, and the key is really resisting the urge to touch your face too much! I don't know if you do that, but I touch my face a lot as a nervous thing, and I'm consciously trying to stop. It's improved my skin a lot.
Also, drink lots of water! I hope that helps. :)

@Senor714 Okay, so I looked into it! And apparently it's the ones that are the peel off type that are bad because they are removing little hairs and sebaceous filaments from your pores (as opposed to blackheads), and clears out helpful oils.
The kind I have is a wash-off type, which I've found has helped clean my pores a lot and make my skin a lot less prone to breaking out, but I will definitely look into it more. I really appreciate the knowledge! :)
