November 25, 2007

Pros:

¤Clears up acne (I have mild acne, so it works fine so far)
¤Feels clean after use
¤Doesn't smell bad

Cons:

¤Does dry up my skin, but I use Burt's Beestomato toner, which makes my face softer, feels fresh and takes away the dryness, or just use an oil-free mouiturizer

¤Make sure you follow the directions ¤Use it twice a day ¤I find this product very helpful for my acne ¤Works best in the shower (make sure it's your last routine step, you get that deep clean feel, tap dry with a towel afterwards) I noticed somebody said it feels like "glue", are you adding water?

Pros:

Easy to find. May clear up some acne.

Cons:

Dries your skin and does not give you results instantly.

If you have little tiny spots of acne then this should work fine but if you are waging a war with acne (like I am) this won't really help.

Pros:

Easy to use, fresh feeling, effective, zits become a lot less prominent/go away completely,

Cons:

leaves your skin a little dry but that's nothing a moisturizer can't fix

I love this stuff! I've tried using other acne products for my zits, but those always left my face feeling goopy or parched and barely made an impact. The oil-free acne wash is the only thing that's actually been making a difference! My skin is visibly cleaner with so few blemishes. Plus it leaves my face feeling so nice and soft, it's great. Try this stuff out!

Pros:

gives you a fresh, tingly feeling; tightens pores

Cons:

dries out skin a bit; doesn't smell too good

I just started using Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash, and I can already see an improvement in my skin. It dries out your skin a bit, so feel free to use oil-free moisturizer if you want. The smell isn't that good either. But all that matters is that it gets rid of your acne, which it does!

Pros:

- it works quite well and helps clear my skin
- it's refreshing and gives a clean feeling
-doesn't burn
- inexpensive, yet works even better than some more expensive products
- can see good results in only 1-3 days
- good on sensitive

Cons:

- NOT good for travel
- dries skin, but not that much; it's ok most of the time
- most effective of uncomplicated non-severe acne, even though I consider my acne pretty bad

It really works and I actually noticed a big difference, even though it was inexpensive. If you keep using it, your acne will definitely clear. You should at least try it and see. So many people recommended it to me.

Pros:

//Doesn't cause acne!
//Generic version is relatively inexpensive
//Feels nice when you use it

Cons:

//Didn't do a thing to improve my skin!
//Pretty drying (this isn't a problem if I use moisturizer, though)

I've been using this product twice a day for about 4 months and, although it helped initially, my skin never actually improved. It would clear up for brief periods then get just as bad as it ever was. It didn't clear up my blackheads or other bumps and didn't seem to prevent any breakouts. Of course everybody has different chemistry and different needs so I cannot condemn this product. I am however very disapointed.

Cons:

It dried out my face and it made me breakout more!

It works for some but it did not work for me

Pros:

Really dries out my super oily skin.

Cons:

Could be drying for sensitive skin.

I've had acne for 12 years, neutrogena has the best line of products I have found. I also use the rapid clear and moisturizer with salicylic acid. This works well for non-infected breakouts. To keep those big inflamed and infected blemishes at bay I highly recommend an antibiotic (I take minocylcline). There is no miracle cure, but if you stick with it you will find something that works. To really see if a product really works for you, you need to use it for more than 2 days (unless you have a really bad reaction.

Pros:

tightens skin, cleanses skin

Cons:

dry, red skin :(

I think this wash works to cleanse the skin, but it definitely dries the skin out. My skin is now kind of flaky and red. I have to use a lot of moisterizer several times a day.
