Neutrogena : Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask

I have very light, sensitive skin that is very prone to acne, especially if I wear concealer or blush. I have used so many other products in my lifetime and none of them ever proved to make much of a difference. My acne liked to stay put on my face for longer periods of time than normal people. This product reinstated my faith in topical combatants for acne. It's smooth to apply, leaves the skin feeling fresh, and though it does not totally eliminate all acne, it greatly reduces the sizes of blemishes and their lifespan. I'm now almost a month into using it and I only have a few pimples--nothing I can't conceal with a dab of makeup. It is a bit drying so I use Neutrogena's exfoliant with it, but it's definitely the cleanser mask that's making the difference. My dermatologist recommended it to me and said it worked for her clients better than most prescription medications. And it did!

Ive used this product on and off for over a year now and i always seem to go back to it. A lot of people have a reaction to this or any other bp based cleanser because they r sensitive to to bp not because the product does not work. I use it twice a day, morning and night and have seen great results. Washing my face is the very last step in my shower routine that way my pores have a bit of time to open with the steam. I pour about a nickel size amount and then massage it to my face for about 2 mins. I then rinse it off and while the water is hitting my face i rub off any of the cleanser that may be left on my face. Of course this is not the only thing i use in my fight against acne but it is a product i cannot be without.

I really like it. A lot of people said it left their skin red but for me it did not. Its really easy to wash off, as well.

WARNING: DO NOT use as a mask. Left my face super red (sunburn-like) for about an hour. Reccomended way to use: 1-cleanse throughly. 2- use a scrub after: I use Neutrogena's pink grapefruit scrub, which works well and smells great. Make sure you scrub gently but for about five minutes. 3- Pat, don't rub dry! <------- super important. 4- Use a Neutrogena on-the-spot treatment, with benzoyl peroxide of 2.5%. 5- Do this twice a day! Last of all, good luck! :)

It's an over all great product that makes your acne much less severe over night! (but make sure you put lotion on your face so it doesnt dry out!!)

its far better than any BP product, I usually use 2.5% BP but decided to try this out. This product works great.

This cleanser-mask is great even for a semi-dry skin.

I would reccomend it to the people with at least 3 pimples on their face at any given time.For those with mild acne to hormonal break outs i would saynot to use it.

I like this particular formulation because of the slightly lower benzoyl peroxide concentration (3.5%) - just as effective but a little less drying and irritating. Also, I like alternating between using as a mask or as a face wash depending on how oily my skin is.

I recommend this if you have OILY SKIN WITH or LARGE PORES! Try using it once a week first, then gradually increase it to twice a weeek, then three times a week at most! Give it two to three months of try! HOpe you the best
