Made my skin dry, red and sore.
I thought I had fairly oily skin but it must not be that oily because 3 days of this cleanser and it's so dry my make-up only lasts about 10 minutes! I just hope that I haven't done too much damage and can sort my skin out quickly.

No.

Pros:

Pump bottle

Cons:

Smells
Terribly drying

I was excited to use this when it came out. Everyone was raving about it in magazines, and it even had awards for best facial cleanser. I beg to differ. First off, it smells horrible. Almost too medicated. Secondly, it dried me out so bad! I don't see why it's getting awards. I haven't seen anyone use this that I know of. Neutrogena is a little overrated in opinion. Most of their products are harsh or don't work at all. Instead of clearing my face, it dried my face and made me breakout more.

Pros:

Looks lovely and is easy to use

Cons:

The following day I looked as if my face had been sandblasted and my eyes have puffed up.

I haven't got sensitive skin generally, so I'm really worried about whats in this product that caused such a huge reaction. Not happy.

Pros:

leaves your face oil free (only for a little while)
feel refreshed kind of

Cons:

DOES NOT HELP IN BREAKOUTS
i only buy this product because it leaves my face oil free

If you want to clear up your acne, this is not your product. TRUST ME! I have been using it for a while now, and it doesnt help with my acne.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Made my face break out even more

Just using this product alone told me to never use any Neutrogena products again, as it aggravates my very sensitive skin horribly.

It burned my face. I look like I got fried!

So I bought this a week ago. Worst decision of my life.:smileys_n_people_15: Thought of trying this since I found good reviews online. Now I'm super oily....with red bumps and inflammation. My skin has rejected it. 

I've now ordered my usual saviour in these situations. The divinely blessed Clinique anti blemish foam face wash to rescue me. I'll never stop using it. It's the best.

Sorry Neutrogena....you are going in the trash.

Yeah, these types of products are pretty harsh on the skin actually. From reading online, they're considered "first line" therapies because they're over the counter but most doctor's I've spoken with aren't very excited about it. Basically, they're grouped into two types of products - acids and bases, very mild on the spectrum of acids and bases, but still dry the heck out of your skin. Better to look for a solution that's more targeted to keeping your pores open and clean rather than dissolving the oil off of there IMO. Definitely there's much better products that you can still get online that don't require a prescription
