I want to get rid of acne on my arms and face, but the acne products are too much. Is there a simple and easy way to get rid of acne fast?

Go to the pharmacy or dollar store and buy a bottle of witch hazel and a bag of cotton balls or cotton pads (I prefer the pads). Morning and night, after washing your face with a regular cleanser or gentle soap, PAT (not rub) face, chest, and arms dry then wet a cotton pad with the witch hazel (until almost drippy, not just slightly). Pat all areas with acne and any 'oily' areas until well moistened. Allow the witch hazel to air dry thoroughly. The redness should disappear in a day or two and the blemishes will begin to dry in a couple of more days.
Witch Hazel will not dry the skin like alcohol and is often used as an astringent. With continued use, it will eliminate most acne except for severe outbreaks (mine were brought on by stress - exam times, long work days, deadlines, etc.) and it reduced those to spots rather than regions. Good luck.
I just read that dabbing unfiltered apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball works also. The article said it was available at health food stores, but I'll bet that the apple cider vinegar at grocery stores will work just as well.
Really, if there was any home remedy that actually worked there would not be expensive remedies and prescription drugs. If you have severe acne, go to a doctor, and get the proper meds. If you have less severe acne, consult with a pharmacist about the best over the counter remedies. Use them faithfully, and they will work very well. Home remedies don't actually work well at all, no matter what anybody on here will tell you.
Yes, if you have redness try visine eye drops, also crush up aspirin and wet apply to your face leave on 10 min and remove. Use baking soda mixed with water as a paste and apply leave on 10 min and wash off.
Another thing you might try... fill your bathtub up with water and add 1/4 cup of bleach (clorox) to the water and bathe in it. It helped my son.
You could make a oatmeal mask with oatmeal if you have that ore honey and cinnamon cream .
