Neutrogena : Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask

i burned my face using this as a mask this is the worst product i have ever used in my life. My face is bright red and it will not go away i have been waiting for an HOUR!!! I used this as a cleanser and it was fine but i did the recommended 5 minutes for the maskand i got burned BAD! I dont want this to happen to anyone else so never use this product.

If your using this as a cleanser it will clean your face but wont clear it. Ive also tried this product as a mask, but wouldnt recommend it, because it over dries your face the next day (i applied it at night usually) and burns and reddens skin.

Before you try using this as a cleanser or a mask, you should try washing your face with molten hot lava and see how much you enjoy that. If you enjoy it, proceed with using this product. In all fairness, I have dry, sensitive skin with very light, basically non-existent acne. The only reason I was breaking out at all is because I used a product that was specifically for acne (probably the Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser, though I can't remember for sure). Since it was too harsh for my face, it made me break out, so I had to search for something to clear the breakout, which made me breakout more, etc. etc. Vicious cycle, I know. Anyhow, I think I'm likely allergic to benzoyl peroxide, or very very sensitive to it at the least. But I was in a Neutrogena phase and I gave my skin a little too much credit, thinking it could take this sort of medicated mask/cleanser. All I know is that my skin burned like fire, was red and irritated for several days, and started breaking out worse, so much that it took a few weeks to finally clear it up. I was very disappointed and frustrated with this product, as Neutrogena is pretty well known for creating products that won't screw your face up. Like I said, my skin is dry and very sensitive and not acne-prone at all. And in all honesty, I should have known better. This product may be good for you if you have super oily, super acne-prone skin that is not sensitive in the least bit. It may work great for that. But if you're sensitive in the least, there's no way this product will work for you. It's super harsh and will irritate the skin beyond recognition!

my mom is in her fortys and im in my twentys and we both hate the new one. we dont know why they would change sometning that works.

It cleared up some of my breakouts for a couple of days but then it lashed back and (just like some person below) made me get soo many little bumps all over my forehead, cheeks, and around my jawline. And it did the exact same thing to my friend who used it! I don't know what to do because the bumps are much more stubborn than single larger zits I used to get. It made things a lot worse...does anyone know how to get rid of all the little bumps?? I stopped using this stuff a long time ago and I switched to much gentler things, which haven't kept me completely clear, but have soothed things down...I wouldn't recommend this at all...

I don't like the consistency of this product. It logged my pores and didn't wash off my makeup. This also didn't clear any of my acne, but caused breakouts. I am not one to even get breakouts.

This is so drying that over time it leads to more oil being produced on the skin. Probably fine once in a while for mild T-zone acne. If used regularly it will increase acne.

I used to use this as a mask but I had to takeit off it felt worse than a sunburn left my face red and dry

I could barely touch my skin for a week after using this only once it inflammed it so bad! I've tried a lot of other acne medications before and nothing really worked all that great but nothing has ever made my skin so much worse like this did.

It's an awful product!!!
