Pros:- refreshing, clean, and cool feeling
- Soothes skin
- Removes makeup
Cons:- Needs to be applied after oil free acne wash
- May dry out skin a bit
- Takes time to work
Bottom Line:At first I used just the Acne stress control wash. It worked at the beginning, but I think it wore off. So instead of using it once every night, I used it once every other night. This seemed to be helping, But I wasn't getting the results I wanted. So just recently, I started to use the oil free acne wash before I used this. It seems to be working :) (I've only been using it for like 2 days) I use it every night, but if your skin becomes too dry, use it every other night. & Moisturize ! I really hope this combo will work ! Wish me luck !

I am 14 and have been struggling with acne for like 2 years. It's realy getting to me ! I am not sure about the price, but for both it was probably around 20$

Pros:It did make my skin feel clean, removed make-up.
Cons:I never felt like it worked, my face never really cleared up.
Bottom Line:I mostly used this product for about a year, and honestly I felt like it was a waste of time. My skin never really improved or cleared up at all while using it. In fact, over the past year my acne has gotten worse, with my cysts getting bigger. Now that's not entirely Neutrogena's fault, but it should have alleviated some of the smaller zits, which it didn't.

Pros:Works ok at first
Cons:Doesnt rinse well, feels waxy
Bottom Line:This product should be called acne stress maker. It is good for the first few washes but then your face starts to develop a waxy build-up. Does not get makeup off and the little blue beads are annoying! I would find them stuck in my ears even though I always rinse very thoroughly. Might be good for backs but i would not use this on my face again.
Recommended:No
