Neutrogena : Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser

Been using this for months. Gentle but effective for acne-prone, oily skin because it has a small amount of natural salicylic acid (from Willow bark extract) in it. It doesn't irritate my dry patches or make my skin feel tight, and I do notice a difference in the oiliness of my T-Zone when I use this compared to other washes that I've tried. I've tried a lot of different washes in the past 6 months but I just keep coming back to this!

I use this as my morning cleanser every day--makes my face feel fresh and clean, definitely doesn't bother my acne, and seems like it may help somewhat with oil control. It's non-irritating and lathers well.

My skin is usually very red and bumpy, and this cleanser completely smoothed it out. My skin is very oily and this cut through all the oil and makeup, and even made parts of my skin dry, which no other product has been able to do. When used with a light moisturizer, this is perfect for my skin.

I really like this product. I am post Accutane almost two years ago, and have been on maintenance Retin-A with a moisturizer. I wasn't quite as clear as I wanted to be, and decided to try a Salicylic Acid wash instead of the sensitive skin wash I was using (Retin-A works on a deeper level, whereas SA stays closer to the surface, helping to clear blackheads and clogged pores). I liked this wash b/c the ingredient list is simple (I've found less is more with acne) with no harsh sulfates, and it has Willow Bark extract as a source of Salicylic Acid. Natural SA from Willow Bark is supposed to be less irritating than synthetic SA, and has antiseptic properties. I did have an initial breakout for around a week and a half, but i knew what it was and I stuck with it. Any retinoid (Differin, Retin-A, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid) is going to cause an initial breakout as it increases the rate of skin turnover and anything deep comes to the surface. This wash has complimented my Retin-A and lotion regimen very well and added the 'boost' I needed for my skin to be clear. I'm not sure about it's effectiveness in clearing acne when used on it's own though. I listed in "cons" that it can by slightly drying b/c the very first time I washed with it, my face did feel a little tight afterward. However, this could have been due to the fact that my regular use of Retin-A makes my skin more prone to sensitivity, and/or the SA use along with Retin-A was dryng at first. It has not made me dry since, but I do use a lotion.

I love this product. It leaves skin fresh and glowing. My skin has a normal oil content but is a little sensitive, and this product works perfectly. I use this product in the morning to cleanse my skin and make it feel fresh. I also use this product at night to remove my makeup and to cleanse my skin. The fact that is all natural is just a big bonus.

I decided to try this cleanser after seeing the commerical on this product claiming to remove 99% dirt & toxins naturally. I use this as my routine face wash along with Dan's BP, Alpha Hydroxy Souffle 12%, and Cetaphil moisturizer. I've been following the regimen before with a different cleanser. I've been noticing more positive results after switching to this. I'm about 95% clear now (following the regimen for almost 3 months). I can't say this is the only thing clearing up my acne, but I love how there's no harsh chemicals and the clean feeling it leaves my skin afterward. I bought my second bottle the other day and will continue to use this to wash my face. :)

I love this product its the only one that is showing me results with my acne. I also noticed that my acne scars are fading. I use this product twice a day morning and night.

It is a really nice cleanser that keeps my acne at bay but is not too aggressive. After I wash with it, I feel clean and fresh. However, my menstrual acne flares still happened but were lesser. My pores clog often and this seemed to help. I lathered in my hands before applying and it works well. I am loyal to this product. I even use it for my body in the shower.
