Use a scrub once or twice a week (eg. Clean&Clear Morning Burst), and the rest of the time use a gentle cleanser (any foaming cleanser that does NOT contain soap will be fine). It might also help to use a peel-off face mask once a week as well.

aww...i know what you mean about being low on budget. i had the same situation as you for years. somehow, using all that face products from the drugstore never worked and were too harsh for my skin. maybe try learning a thing or two about skin care and most of the time you would need to get a more expensive product because you know it will work and be totally worth it. proactive never worked for me as well. i too have oily skin and i hardly have an acne but i do have some sometimes and couple of blackheads/whiteheads. i just saved up all my money until i can afford to buy those face products from macy's or nordstrom. recently, i bought the three-step skin care for oily face from clinque. the three step skin care includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. its just basic cleansing. the thing is...after i would use the toner (clarifying lotion in pink bottle) my face would get a bit red. i think my face is irritated by the alcohol in it. so i went back to clinque and the salesperson told me to use the clarifying lotion with less alcohol in it. most of the time, i was told to just not use the toner. but i just took a makeup artistry class and i learned that you always need a toner after using a cleanser. the reason for that is because usually ur face would have a tight feeling and you need a toner to close your pores. with the basic three step skin care...my face was still a bit oily so i went back to clinque and also bought the pore minimizer treatment which will reduce your pores overtime so that you will get less oily skin. that is like 18.50. again, i know its expensive. or you can get the pore minimizer to take out shine on your t-zone which is 13.50 from clinque and its a powder. you use the pore minimizer after putting the three step skin care products. maybe try goin to the drugstore and ask a salesperson your problem and they can help and assist you. but yeah those are the products i use and it seems to work well with me.

it depends on your skin type (oily, dry, sensitive, etc.) but keeping your face clean (washing it twice a day with a MILD cleanser is helpful). Just make to NOT to pile on a lot of products be that will only make it worse. To get the best answer for your question, try asking a good dermatologist who can see what kind of skin you have and recommend the best product for it.

Philosophy has "on a clear day" line that works great! It doesn't dry you out and really works.
Proactiv is another option but be sure to use a good moisturizer so your skin doesn't dry out.
