    Like many dermatologists, Dr. Jaliman sells the Clarisonic cleansing system in her office, but at over $100 not everyone will want to buy it. Now there are at least two relatively inexpensive alternatives on drugstore shelves that work very well. Olay Pro-X Professional Advanced Cleansing System ($29.99, Walgreens.com) and Neutrogena Wave Sonic Spinning Power Cleanser ($13.99, Neutrogena.com) cost a fraction of the Clarisonic's price, but will still make a difference and leave your skin cleaner than your hand or a washcloth can. Do not use if you have rosacea or eczema. less

    It's a constant refrain of NYC dermatologist Debra Jaliman's that nobody has to go broke to have good skin. Yes, some specialized treatments, such as botox and lasers, can be pricey. So can department store brands, many of which are effective but really over-priced, according to Dr. Jaliman. The truth is the essential products for good skin are usually available at most drugstores, and they certainly won't break the bank.
