Should be banned from use on face
I am very disappointed in this product. I had initially read some good reviews of the product and in a bid to clear my acne, i hurried and purchased this wash. Unfortunately, it dried up my face in just 4 days. My face became itchy especially around my mouth and under my eyes. My forehead developed so much rash and now I wish I could just go back to 4 days ago when this product never touched my face. I think the product should be reevaluated by dermatologists especially since it is used on the face...ðŸ'ŽðŸ'ŽðŸ'ŽðŸ'Ž

Swollen
I am in my late 30s and wanted to try a cleanser that would prevent acne. It gave me 3 new pimples in 3 days, dry skin, irritated skin, and swollen eyes. I look horrible. i will not be using this ever again and I am still waiting for my face to go back to normal. I have dry skin to begin with FYI

Think Twice Before Buying This
I have used this product in the past and it cleared up my acne well. However I bought this a few days ago because I was going through a major breakout. This morning I woke up and my face is swollen especially around my eyes and there's a burning sensation throughout my face. I am not allergic to anything and have never had a reaction like this to any product. I'm worried that there might be a change in the formula? I'm too embarrassed to go out in public today because of how awful my face looks. Please I don't want anyone else to use this product, there's something wrong with it.

Pros:

None!

Cons:

-irritates skin more
-you break out a lot more

I've used this product for a little over a year and it hasn't helped. In fact, it's made my face even more broke out than before.

Pros:

None

Cons:

-Irritated my skin, making it extremely itchy and bumpy the next day.
-Acne got worse. I've never broken out this bad before.
-My skin got very flaky, even after the usage of moisturizer.

Like a lot of people with oily skin, I stray away from most products while still trying to find the perfect solution. For the past year I've tried out a couple of recommended products for my oily skin, and I haven't had a severe issue until now. I used Neutrogena Oil-Free acne wash twice a day for 2 weeks. The first time I tried it, about 20 minutes in, I felt my skin become very dry. I applied my moisturizer without a worry and went to bed. The next morning my skin was extremely dry and flaky, my acne got extremely bad, and my face was very red and bumpy. It was so embarrassing since I had to go to school. It's completely ridiculous, especially since my skin isn't very sensitive at all. I skipped 2 days without using it then decided to use it again only to encounter the same problem. I tried it for 2 weeks and my skin didn't get to use to it at all.

Terrible!!
I used this as a teenager and really loved it so I thought I'd give it a shot again. Worst. Idea. Ever. It was ok the first day but the second my skin was so irritated. It felt very rough and bumpy but no visible acne. Like dried leather almost... And it completely dried out my skin. I definitely won't use it again!!

Pros:

smells good i guess?

Cons:

my face became very red.
made my face EXTREMEMLY dry and irritated.
I put on moisturizer afterwards, and my face started burning.
little flakes were appearing on my face

It was really nice at first! But then ruined my skin. NEVER use this if you have sensitive skin!
