Neutrogena : Oil-Free Acne Wash

Ive tried endless products including proactiv, acnefree. These high end systems work for a while but if you miss one treatment you break out again. Not so with neutrogena oil free acne wash it is very forgiving. But for the maximum results I suggest using it every morning and every night. If used in this manner your skin will be clear in two weeks!!! (depending on the severity of your acne) remember to pat dry after washing product off of your face. If you tend to have dry skin after using i recommend using the clean and clear moisturizers with acne medicine in it. I am a consumer like you, and from my past experiences this is the product to reach for.

If you don't have oily skin, DO NOT use it. Common sense people. I keep seeing all of these bad reviews regarding people's face getting too dry. I have truly oily skin and this product only dried my face around my mucous areas for a few days then my skin was back to normal. This is what I needed. DO NOT give bad reviews if the product was not meant for you in the first place, please consider this when writing the review. Some people think they have oily skin only to find out its not that severe. My skin is oily 2-3 hours after washing and applying my moisturizing. I inherited this from my mom. The wash does keep my skin clear, but I do not have a lot of acne either. I am not sure if this will help with severe cases. This product is good for really really oily skin, those will light/mild breakouts and those who just want a simple product in between other products. If you are like me, I change products every couple of months. When I wash my face with this, I feel like I have washed off the day better than I have with any other wash (especially for the price).

I don't know what people are complaining about when they say that it dries up their skin. Uh, guys? There's something in this world called MOISTURIZER. Rub on a liberal amount of (NOT oil-free) moisurizer and voila! Also, about the rash and inflamation, its hardly the products fault. It's just an allergic reaction. Sheesh, peoples. I recommend this to anyone who trusts this product and decides to put on only one SMALL pump each time they use it. Good luck! =]

I have suffered with mild acne (tiny spots with the exceptional big one) on my checks and around my jaw line since I was about 14. I started using this nearly a week ago and have seen a lot of improvements. For people who are acne prone like me you will seem to think your skin is getting worse after nearly a week of use but that is just the wash drying out your skin and bringing up the head on the spots for them to heal. My skin has looked slightly more "spotty" but these are only spots that were lying under the surface of my skin that I could see waiting before hand. I haven't had any NEW breakouts or spots since using this, I would definitely recommend to acne prone/oily skinned people. If you only get the occasional spot and aren't acne prone I wouldn't recommend this as it will make your face peel real bad and if you have used this and don't see improvements, give it time, it's just getting rid of the underlining problem and spots you had beforehand.

I've used this facewash for almost 5 years now because it doesn't have benzoyl peroxide(I'm allergic to it). It's never failed to get rid of any bumps that I may have gotten. I would recommend this product to people with very VERY light acne and not super oily skin. If you have severe acne this may irritate it a bit. So all in all, I love this product!!

I am 44 years old and I STILL battle with acne and VERY oily skin. I just decided to try this cleanser again about a month ago (It worked very well for me in my 20's also). Within 2 weeks, my skin was clearer and brighter than it's been in a long time. I use it 2x a day washing gently with my hands and I rinse it off gently using a soft washcloth. After cleansing with this at night, I also put Neutrogena's On the Spot over my entire face. In the morning after using this I use Seban pads for extra oil control. With my skin, I find that using this cleanser (which is an exfoliating cleanser with 2% salicylic acid), before applying benzoyl peroxide has given me the best skin clearing results in the shortest amount of time versus using a non-exfoliating cleanser. I HIGHLY recommend this cleanser with the other 2 products I mentioned above if you're battling with VERY oily skin, large pores, blackheads and pimples.

Great product. I've had acne since age 11 and this product is one of the first to work. It makes my skin feel clean and actually had a remarkable effect in clearing up my face. First two weeks your acne will get worse while it washes up the under-skin dirt and then it gets really clear. I've been using it for two years now.

i use coca butter after every wash and it does the job.!

At first it dried out my skin a little, but then it dawned on me: I have combo skin and I'm not using a moisturizer on my cheeks!! I now use Avon Solutions AM Daily Cleanser with SPF 15 just on my cheeks. Overall, I like this cleanser. My favorite that I've used so far with Neutrogena.

This is the only modestly priced cleanser that works for my face. My face is very sensitive, not only do I break out but I have rosacea. This is the only cleanser that did not trigger my rosacea and actually helps keep me from breaking out.
