Neutrogena : Oil-Free Acne Stress Control, Power-Clear Scrub

I would think since I have a little worse acne then moderate that it doesn't work for moderate+, I have used 7 times and my face just doesn't get better and now looks worse it caused my face to be very sensative and I tried everything washing 3 times a day, taking 2 showers a day, and even not touching my face with my hands to prevent oil transfer, didn't help it just made it look much worse(they should pay us to use this).

if you have sensitive skin this product is not worth the time or money

First off, I have oily skin. I bought this scrub because it works for many people and generally Neutrogena's products work great for me. However, this one was an exception for me. My skin had been healing very nicely after I stopped using Proactiv and started using natural products. After I started using this, I did not see much difference it made to my skin. Generally, everything seemed fine. A few weeks later I noticed that I got new breakouts the morning after I use this scrub, so I stopped using it but I wasn't sure whether they were caused by this scrub. A month after I stopped using, I tried using it again on my relatively clear skin. I woke up to find breakouts and redness. I guess I am unlucky that this is not a product for me.

i reccomend this product, i just guess im one of those people who isnt just suited for this product XD

The first couple of days it made my skin feel and look so soft, and I was so happy I thought I found the perfect cleanser. I was fooled it never really healed the acne on my face and after a couple of weeks of use my skin went crazy. I got a huge break out on my left cheek I mean the kind that makes you look like a small pox victim. I recently found out that you should never exfoliate every day which is what I was doing. And exfoliating on sensitive skin worsens acne so I've realized I'll never use anything that has the word POWER in it on my face again. No more exfoliating for me I'm sticking with dove beauty bar for sensitive skin. If you have light acne then this will most likely work but to my inflamed and red acne suffers please don't try.

I had been experiencing a minor breakout while using Loreal Go 360 clean (the green one) and felt that It just wasn't quite doing enough. I decided to give this scrub a try. My breakout's gone away, and my skin's been looking a lot clearer. It has a really nice fresh scent and leaves my skin very soft. I had very minor redness before using this product, and the tiny bit of redness I did have has gone away. I intend to use this product for quite a while. It's great!

This is a really good product for people with LIGHT acne. It cleared about 90% of my acne. My skin is slightly oily and I have light acne. This product helped reduce my acne and oil on my face. I would recommend this for people with light acne and oil production. Also the smell is great right before bed to fall asleep smelling this!

I have had a lot of acne since I was 13 and used Retin A since I was 20. But I always had acne - EVERY day. I've tried antibiotic on occasion, but fear them as I am a microbiologist by training. Since I turned 40, I've been getting deeper cysts that may not come out and can be painful. Tried Neutrogena Advanced Solutions and giving up Retin A for a few years.... About the same. At 45, I feel my skin scars more and much longer. I just hated my skin. But within the WEEK of starting this Stress Control scrub, my acne virtually disappeared. I can barely believe it. I've been using it 1.5-2 mos. This is the best my skin has looked - breakout wise- since I used Accutane in my late 20s. I might try to give up the retin a again. I think I will get wrinkly, but I also worry about my telomeres since they must be shorter on my face than the rest of my body.

This could be a good face wash for someone with light acne and a normal skin type. However, I have very oily skin and extremely prone to breakouts. This is not an effective cleanser! It doesn't get down deep, no matter how much you use and if you use a loofah for extra exfoliating. I was never able to control my oil or acne with this. But it does smell really good :)

This product has worked pretty well for me. I've been breaking our pretty bad recently. I had about ten pimples at once and they were really red and painful. I got this product and used it that night in the shower. The next morning, about 8 of those pimples had decreased in size and redness and the pain decreased too! I use this product with Stridex sensitive pads. When I get out of the shower, I let my face dry and use my stridex pads on my forehead. Works great!
