I'm renz, 37 yrs. old guy from Philippines and my adult acne keeps coming back and I also have oily skin, especially in the forehead and cheeks areas. Are there any inexpensive OTC drugs or products that will work for my whiteheads and pimples?

Take a look at this page, it might help your situation. It has information on acne, how to treat it naturally, and advertisers with alternative and mainstream acne products:

I am 30 and also have oily skin. I pretty much use those products, and at least 3 times a day I wash my face with Clean and Clear Morning Burst facial cleanser. It works pretty good.
The problem is, acne is caused by bacteria and the bacteria thrive in our oily skin. The benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid kill the bacteria, but you also have to keep your skin from being such an inviting petry dish for acne.

Use honey. Put a dab of honey on each eruption before bed, cover with a bandaid. Wash it off in the morning.

Use any formula of tretinoin or adaplene. They are Vitamin A derivatives.
