All under $20.

From Our Friends at Total Beauty

Expensive acne products aren't the only ones that work. If you love stocking up at the drugstore, but feel like you're missing out on some magical product to zap zits, Total Beauty is setting you straight on some cheap products that really work.

Whether you're in acne-attack overdrive or simply maintenance mode, these are some of the best products to try from your local drugstore:

*Noxema Triple Clean Anti-Blemish Pads: Talk about a blast from the past! I haven't seen or used these in forever, but they are still tearing up the charts as one of Total Beauty's reader favorites. They don't sting, they clean your skin well, and they are a smart pick for under $5.

*Desert Essence 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil: Now this is my kind of product. Lauded as a "miracle potion" by one and an essential by many, this 2 oz. bottle will last forever, and costs between $12 and $20. Dab it on angry zits before you go to sleep, add a few drops to your moisturizer, or save it for skin emergencies--you can't go wrong having this around.

*Olay Smooth Skin Exfoliating Scrub: No irritation, smooth skin, and under $10--Olay's making us believers in their skincare line with this top-rated product. Total Beauty's users said that this product left their skin feeling soft and smooth, but it also help to calm down those irritating bumpy zones that you just know are planning on transforming into zits.
