I'd recommend this stuff over a generic from an unknown brand any day, seeing as it is not unreasonably priced. For the price conscious, there are cheaper options, like salicylic acid 2 soap/cleanser, and serum/masque formulations from brands like The Ordinary.I use this to keep facial acne at bay and it works as well or better than Stridex cleansing pads, while being much easier to apply. Unlike soaps/cleansers that will be washed off quickly, the serum allows the acid more contact time.
