Ok there are a lot of acne medications and other products out there many are easy to find at stores and pharmacies others need to be prescribed by dermatologists. There are a lot of competitions with brands, and I have noticed that most of them have the same active ingredients which are:
Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic Acid
and each product has different concentrations like 1.0%, 2.5%, 10% etc, which makes me assume that the bigger the concentration the stronger the medicine is.
Does the brand matter or the active ingredients that contain the product to make it effective?
Because I have seen brands like Neutrogena, Noxema, Clearasil, Olay etc which are examples of popular acne medicines but I have also seen products of way cheaper brands but with bigger concentrations.
Like today I bough a blemish control creme of an unknown product at $1.50 that contains a 10% concentration of Benzoyl peroxide but I don't know if it's as effective as my other recognized medications.

Don't get a really cheap brand, as they're cheap for a reason, but there is also no need to get too expensive ones either as they may not work. Try to find your medium, something that's a suitable price and that actually works.

I buy garments from outlets that alot of people retailer at but are not terribly overpriced and the extra expensive matters i try to to find on salesracks so that there is a little rate cut. That manner i have stuff that every person else has for the easier fee

I dont thinks it's necessary to find a BRAND... just as long as you find a product that works for you.
I was a Mary Kay Consultant for a few years and an Avon rep before that. I really do trust Mary Kay products, but as I said as long as you find a product suited for your skin type and that it WORKS is all that matters.

It is always about the ingredients. Not the brand.
