Neutrogena : Oil-Free Acne Wash

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.

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

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.

This product is prefect. Make sure you have oily skin before using it. If not it will irriate skin. If it gets to try use a light lotion.

Its really good. Been using it for about 6 weeks now for the shower and it lathers up extremely extremely well. The smell is quite nice too. However, the only thing i have a problem with it is that water can get in the bottle. It dilutes it, and it makes the supposed 'gel' literally like water. Its really annoying. Initially it was great. 1 pump=1 facewash, but now its like, 4 pumps= 1 facewash cuz the 'gel-water' keeps running out of my hand before i can lather it properly. Especially hard in the shower! However, setting that aside... It hasn't irritated my skin, but i have noticed that its made my skin a bit dry. Except for the badly engineered bottle... its an overall good product!

This might work well for somebody with clear skin, but if you have moderately severe acne it makes it worse and I wouldn't recommend it at all.

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

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.

I have been using this cleanser for around six months and have it to work fairly well. Initially it made my skin quite dry, but after a week of perseverance this improved. I have not found my skin to worsen, however the improvements seem to have plateaued, as though my skin has become too "used to" the product. I am now looking for a new cleanser that is a bit gentler as I don't like the redness this cleanser seems to cause.

Make sure if you want results to use benzoyl peroxide after, ofcourse. But it cleans skin :)
