Best acne treatments?
So I don’t have bad acne but the little I do have pisses me off.
I just want to have 99.9999999% clear skin and not have to worry about red bumps on my face.
So I googled some acne treatments and all I found were scam websites looking to cash in on desperate people.
So what I’m wondering is, is there a 1 step acne wash or somethng that is actually effective?
If not would there be any other 2-whatever step solution that is worth the money?
Thanks for the help

You can avoid or control most acne with good basic skin care and the following self-care techniques:
Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Products such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks generally aren’t recommended because they tend to irritate skin, which can worsen acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also can irritate skin. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair frequently.
Try over-the-counter acne lotion to dry excess oil and promote peeling. Look for products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as the active ingredient.
Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hair-styling products or acne concealers. Use products labeled "water-based" or "noncomedogenic." For some people, the sun worsens acne. Additionally, some acne medications can make you more susceptible to the sun’s rays. Check with your doctor to see if your medication is one of these, and if so, stay out of the sun as much as possible and anytime you have to be in the sun, use sunscreen that doesn’t clog your pores.
Watch what touches your face. Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects such as telephone receivers on your face. Tight clothing or hats also can pose a problem, especially if you’ll be sweating. Sweat, dirt and oils can contribute to acne.
Don’t pick or squeeze blemishes. Picking or squeezing can cause infection or scarring. Most acne will clear up without this kind of intervention. If you need aggressive treatment, see your doctor or dermatologist.
You may have various options for natural acne treatment. Lotions or creams that contain alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid or bovine cartilage seem to reduce acne for some people. Or you might try a gel that contains tea tree oil. Some studies suggest that gels containing 5 percent tea tree oil are as effective as are lotions containing 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, although tea tree oil might work more slowly. (Note: For some people, tea tree oil may cause a skin reaction known as contact dermatitis. There’s also some concern that topical products containing tea tree oil might cause breast development in young boys.) Other studies suggest that taking zinc or guggul supplements may help treat acne. Check with your doctor before taking any dietary supplements, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. If natural acne treatment isn’t effective, ask your doctor or dermatologist for other suggestions.

If you just want to go for cream use CLINGARD as it helps a lot…
Or if you wanna try a home remedy take Multani Mitti powder and mix it with Tulsi juice..i.e by crushing Tulsi leaves you get some juice, mix with it and apply it to your face where you have acne and pimples…
You can mix the powder with any fruit juice for that sake…if you dont get tulsi leaves.
Wash your face daily atleast twice with fresh water…
Avoid taking junk foods and foods with high oil and cholestrol content…
Have your body cool by drinking Tender coconut juices,lime juices and so…
Take fresh fruits and vegetables a lot…
