Itchy & dry
This product is definitely not for people with sensitive skin. I used it one night and the next day my skin was itchy and left dry as ever for the next week. Had to take antihistamines for it to get better.

Definitely not for sensitive skin
At first I thought this product would be great because after washing my face did feel clean, but in reality it was completely stripping my skin. After a week my skin felt tight. Two weeks and I had extreme dry patches along with breaking out terribly. A month and my skin was actually SORE. As if the breakout wasn't bad enough, just smiling or crinkling my nose was painful for me. I haven't broken out this bad since high school. I guess if you have excessive oily skin it might work for you, if it doesn't cause you to break out like it did for me. But I imagine after a while it would start to dry you out.

DO NOT BUY
The first 2 months I used this it was perfect and cleared my acne but after awhile it made my face extremely dry and flaky and just made me start breaking out really bad, if you have sensitive skin do not buy

not a very satisfying product

Pros:

works for about 2 weeks
inexpensive
can be found anywhere

Cons:

unevens complexion (im fairly dark skinned and i had discoloration)
dries face
irritation

This product was the first acne treatment that i have used and about 2 weeks into using this product it worked then after a month or so i started to breakout alot even when not close to my memstrual cycle ,it definitely dried my face alot and i have oily skin! I figured it was a bit too harsh and it stopped working after 2 months it seemed that it "seti in" and my skin got accustom to it.

Horrible product! It dried out my skin like no other product has (not even 10% BP products). I broke out terribly! Hated it !

Pros:

It smells good

Cons:

Itches my face
Leaves my face dry
Irritates it
Broke me out

I've been using this product for more than a year. At first it was wonderful, it smelled good made my blemishes go down. After a good amount of time it cleared my acne and I had one zit maybe every couple of weeks and it would go away fast. A couple months after I broke out terribly. I know it's stupid but I was kind of in denial about it and kept using the product. I had to wash my face only once a day because it would irritate it too bad. I'm currently using it and I don't know why. I guess I'm afraid of switching cleaners but don't even bother getting this. Currently I am broken out and it's been like this for a while. I don't get acne at all I think face soap would help more than this. Don't waste your money or your clear skin.

Pros:

makes skin less oily

Cons:

causes break outs

I have had acne problems since forever and even was on accutane. I would still use this after accutane and would still get breakouts. Shortly after I stopped using and just used body soap, my face has been perfectly clear ever since. Will dry and irritate your skin.

Pros:

smells decent, easy to use

Cons:

irritating

used this wash for 2 days and now my skin has all these little whitheads and itchy bumps on it. It has completely irritated my skin. Neutrogena should discontinue this product because most of the reviews I've read have showed the same results

Pros:

None

Cons:

Dries skins, leaves skin itchy and flaky. Creates redness and puffiness on the floor.

This is the worst face wash I have ever used. It has dried my skin around the lips,chin. Made it so red and lil red white pus pimples have appeared after using this. It also reacted and caused swelling on my face. My face has become so Itchy and flaky... I hate this product. It should be banned right away
