Drugstore skin care or "expensive skin care"

Has anyone on here actually cleared up their acne with drugstore skin care and got glowy skin or will i have to get stuff of the internet and acne cream and stuff. Theres one spot on my whole face that has acne and i'm guessing its hormonal and idk what products i should try cause everytime i try new things i seem to breakout in places on my face that are clear 😕
