Neutrogena : Oil-Free Acne Wash

THIS PRODUCT LEAVES SKINN SO DRY AND TIGHT. NOT A GOOD OPTION FOR SOMEONE WITH NATURALLY DRY SKIN!!!! :-(

worst product ever!

2 uses and my face was a mess - I am assuming this is an allergic reaction to something in this particular product. I have never reacted so poorly to any face soaps and am not allergic to any known foods or products. Other salicylic acid products have not bothered me, so I remain unsure of what particular ingredient caused this. Discontinued use immediately and after 4 days my face has still not recovered.

Do not use this product if your skin is not too oily. I regret the moment I used it. I can ´t believe it doesnt advise you about it. My skin is so dry and flaky after 1 week I havent used it. I have to apply orchidea oil and aloe vera every single day, three or four times per day, as I feel that my skin splits. Normally, I like Neutrogena products. But this one is terrible!! And I bought it at a Pharmacy, recommended by them!

I generally do not have sensitive skin, and I am not allergic to salicylic acid. But, I'm having a severe reaction because of this and I've read other reviews having similar problems. My eye lids are swollen and my whole face is EXTREMELY tight and inflamed. It's absolutely painful! I have to put layers of lotion on right now to just barely soothe it. Please, DO NOT buy this! I don't have sensitive skin and I never get irritation from products except this, so I think it could happen to anyone.

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 am very disappointed with this product... it did NOT work for me at all!!!!!! It just made my skin tight, dry and it never dried up my acne... I stuck with it for over a month and it just seemed like it did nothing for my face.. I believe it was because of the salicylic acid. I am probably allergic to that chemical.. OR my face is just not meant for that chemical.

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.

It is a Horrible Product in general, it does absolutley nothing for your acne. I stuck with it for 2 months and had zero results, there wasn't even the slightest bit of improvement, and my skin isn't even that bad to begin with! Don't waste your time or money on this proudct .

When I first bought this product, I was excited to try it and see the 'magic' the commercial promised. While I showered, I applyed it to my face as instructed and washed it off to the feeling of smooth skin. (with small bumps of acne on the chin and nose) I was ecstatic that I ALREADY felt a difference. When I got out of the shower, I felt my face again, trying to believe the amazement I had felt earlier. It was gone. Instead I felt tight, dry skin. I looked a tad closer, happiness seeping away, and saw dry patches on my cheeks. One thing I didn't have to squint my eyes to see was my chin and nose. The pimples were inflammed and looked even worse. (I could be imagining that with the sudden disappointment, though) I decided that it might be temporary, and went to bed. Wrong. When I gazed in the mirror that morning, I was devistated. My chin (which is by far my worst acne area) was inflammed and glowing red, practically. Another new bugger was present, also. My nose wasn't as bad. I really only have one or two pimples on the sides of my nose, hiding them mainly. But my nose was rough feeling, looking slightly red as well. My cheeks were rough and felt like the equivelent of sand-paper, maybe. It was awful. I stopped using the product - switched to green tea and aloe vera - and have seen a dramatic result. I currently have two big volcanos on my chin, mainly from hormones and stress, but those are aready decreasing in size, I've noticed. All in all - I won't buy it again. It's a terrible product with harsh chemicals that caused my skin to worsen.
