Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

I received a sample sized tube along with other neutrogena products..

It full on stripped the skin on my face!!

I had really only used a tiny amount, lathered it up and began washing my face. It was until I dried my face that it was tight and almost flakey.

You know that sore , raw tightness you get from using a wash that's waaaaay too stripping....yeah that!

I do have oily skin. But this stripped beyond enough.

I wont use it again. It doesn't help my skin. It just over dries it out :(

Tips: Never use HOT water when washing your delicate face, only warm.

Awful - too drying

I used this and it felt like my face was burning and very tight. I followed the directions and used very little, then around my nose, lips and chin started to burn. Now I have flaky very dry, ultra sensitive, irritated skin that makeup wont cover :(

Tips: Do a test before you put it all over your face

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

i got this product when the wharehouse had them on special for $3 a bottle so as you could imagine i bought 6 bottles haha you don't need to use much i used it mostly on my back and i did see a little difference but i don't get many pimples on my face but i work in a kitchen so i used this 4 times a week just to cleanse my skin it is nice to put on and doesn't have a funky smell, it left my skin feeling fresh afterwards but to be honest im not sure it made that much of a difference..... my partner used it a couple of times as he gets acne and he didn't like it at all with his sensitive skin. wouldn't buy it again

Made my skin irritated and dry.

I purchased this product in a bid to curb my acne a few years ago, and was so disappointed with it. It seemed alright at first, but that changed - my skin eventually became irritated and dry as I continued to use it. I had to stop using this product in order to save my skin. Moisturising after would reduce the tightness and dryness, but my face still looked very irritated. I would not recommend this to anyone under any circumstance.

Not the results I hoped for

I have really oily skin. Not the type that breaks out into loads acne (thankfully) but the type that leaves little bumps and oil all over my face. Yuck. I was hoping that this would do the trick and help my bumps decrease, but it did literally nothing. The "oil-free" part didn't have any effect on my skin. I shall continue my hunt for the perfect cleanser to stop my oily skin! Any tips would be greatfully accepted!!

Pretty good

This product is perfect for people who get oily skin like me. It got rid of my pimples and I haven't any problems with my face again, however that's just on my face I would recommend this product to other but you may not get the same results as I did, But I love this it also smells good to!

Not the best.

I was gifted this, but I have so many other face washes that after a couple of uses it's been pushed to the back of my bathroom counter. Here's why: while it's in a super handy pump bottle, lathers well, and you only need to use a small amount of product, it did seem to make my skin a lot drier than other face washes. My skin is naturally fairly dry, so this might be more suited to people with oily skin. I also didn't notice it clearing up my skin much. I think I'll probably end up using the rest of my bottle as a body wash, as it does get your skin really clean, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Needs a bigger warning on it

I was suffering with pretty consistent pimples, so I thought I'd give this a try. I used it once, with no problems. But by the second use my face had been chemically burnt. It was itchy and rough, with some bumps. Then it progressed into thousands of tiny tiny tiny little oil spots almost, it felt terrible. But I rang them and told them what happened, they happily refunded me $20 when I only paid $13- and sent me a return bag to send the product back to go thru quality control. So my overall experience was awful, but they managed it very well. However I will probably never by another nutrogena product in my life.

Tips: Always check for the warning labels (this one had one tiny warning that said: not suitable for sensitive skin. That was it

No to Neutrogena

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash did leave my face feeling refreshed and clean, but it didn't do anything to improve my acne at all. It smells nice and feels good but it doesn't actually work. I gave it to my sister to see if it was just my skin but she didn't notice any difference either. Sad because I usually love Neutrogena products!

Not Oil Free In My Books

I used this product for over a month and it made my mainly normal skin (but I get a few spots), pretty oily and really stuck to the surface of the skin.

Tips: Wash off throughly
