Neutrogena : Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser

I was running out of my clearasil ultra daily face wash and when going to CVS it was not there. I previously did research and knew this was supposed to be good. I hesitantly bought it, plus it was cheaper. My clearasil Ultra Wash never cleared my skin without using a leave on treatment; it just made the leave on work better, but without that it just made my skin look pretty, clean and glowy. I never expected something you wash off to actually work in riding acne; I was so wrong. My skin was now oily being summer now, and that was making me break out again; I knew I needed something different anyways because Clearasil Ultra face wash was not working anymore. I tried this at night right after my noxzema face wash (I think my acne washes work better on clean skin/ plus my skin is oily in the summer, don't do this if you have dry/ sensitive skin). I loved the smell, consistancy, and when washing it off it felt like a film on my skin; washing thouroughly gets rid of it. It could have been supposed to stay on to fight acne, but I like clean feeling skin (I don't want to risk clogging my pores). I saw a diff. that very night (I used NO leave on's, just the 2 face washes to see how it really worked). When I woke up I promise you that my pimples was half way gone (I don't have acne just a few small pimples; yes I used to have light acne, but with good care its gone). I used it again this morning after my noxzema original face wash and I am not noticing any dryness or irritation. When I use my noxzema I only use a little to get the oil and dirt off my face; I know this has been making my acne washes work better. If you have oily skin this routine will do wonders for you. If you have dry or sensitive skin I would stick to just the neutrogena oil free acne wash morning and night. Tip: On your first washes use a small amount to avoid irritation. Skin does adjust to products overtime. Bottom Line- Love this, will forever use, and Ill make an updated review with the same name.

Made my face break out with over 7 pimples in two days. I just bought the clean and clear advantage control kit and within one hour of its use my face already began to look better, howver it's a bit pricey. usually neutrogena products work really well, except for this one! However, the grapefruit products from neutrogena work great! Bottom line is DO NOT TRY THIS PRODUCT!

i overall liked it pretty well

i think this product works well but would be best for people with light to moderate acne versus people like me who have moderately severe-severe acne.

I've been using it for about 3wks so far, and it seems to have dried out some of the acne but not all. I like how it leaves my skin feeling fresh. I use it about 2-3 times a day. Every morning in the shower, and at night before going to bed. Sometimes mid day. I haven't tried to many skin care products becasue i'm scared of the aftermath once i stop using the product. i haven't stopped using this and i'm going to continue it for another 2 months, i'm going to give it a chance. i read more bad reviews on Proactive so i'm sticking to Neutrogena.

i really need it

I hated this product!! After seeing it was award winning, i thought I would give it a try. I have little breakouts here and there, and i do have blackheads, but i felt like this product didn't do much to clear them. It DID however clear up some of the oil i have on my face. After one use of this, my face the next day was so irritated, dry and itchy I couldn't stand it! My brother also used this and it broke out his face like mad. Hopefully my skin will be back to normal very soon.

When my acne started to get really irratating and my self-esteem started to decrease i decided to just get a acne fighting cleanser and see the ending results so one day i saw this product and bought it. The problem with this was that it was very drying. My skin felt soo tight after i washed it i had to put lotion on my face just so it could feel more comfortable. My acne never went away and i continued to get blackheads,whiteheads and sometimes zits and after i washed my face my acne got irratated. I don't think anyone should get this because personally it just made me feel like a failiure and like i'm going to live with acne forever. Fortunenately i was encouraged by friends and realized that some products just won't work and that i just need to try something else and move on.

I used this twice a day for about 3 days and my skin feels like sand paper. DRIES OUT SKIN!! I have tried putting lotion/moisturizer and it didn't help. I put moisturizer on about 20 times a day and my skin was still dry. I have sensitive skin and it might work for other types of skin but if you have sensitive skin i don't recommend it!

This cleanser works temporarily for me, and then my cheeks start to break out. It dries out the skin, which is no problem if you have a good moisturizer, but the pimples it causes on my cheeks are big and red. I can't use this stuff anymore.
