I found this really helped my breakouts clear up quickly. I wouldn't recommend using it every day maybe every second day or less often depending on the severity of you acne or breakouts. You don't want to overuse it as it is quite drying so make sure to moisturize after using it. It doesn't smell great which is a bit disappointing but it's an acne face wash and they often don't smell the best. Definitely more suited to those with super oily skin and more severe breakouts.

Reviews
Just to make things clear I have never suffered from Acne, I have been very fortunate with having clear skin for the majority of the time but a week before and during the time of the month my face turns into pimple puss town. Normally I have normal to combination skin and I was lucky enough to be sent a bottle of this a few months ago.
The gel formula is quite thick, it has a subtle Aloe Vera smell and a smooth texture when you apply this to your face. It removes all the excess makeup and dirt that has been built up through out the day.
The first time using this my face felt refreshing and a bit tight afterwards, this was followed by a drying feeling on my face which I had never experienced before. I panicked, and then I saw it was normal when using this cleanser. After my experience I started using it only when I was warming up to the time of the month, it made my pimples come and go so quickly, it also kept the redness from the pimples at bay.
I can see why this isn't for everyone's skin type, this has helped my skin a lot when its the time of the month, whenever I use this I make sure I moisturize.
I will definitely buy more in the future.
I used this as part of a sample pack I got from Neutrogena. The moment I rinsed it off I regretted it. My skin was very tight and very very dry. And no matter how much moisturizer I tried to use it stayed the same! In fact it got so bad I had dry flaky patches on my skin a few days later, after one use!
I really liked this skin care from neutrogena. I received this product in a sample pack from neutrogena. This is a great travel size pack and I used it when I was camping. I have oily skin and this cleansed out my pore. It didnt leave my skin dry and it felt refreshed. I did use cream afterwards.
I got this for free in a little sample from the Neutrogena facebook page and thought it was ok. I have a normal skin type so I can use most products and found this cleansed my skin decently and it felt a little bit dry afterwards but still quite nice and smooth.
I have to confess to being a little bit of a snob with cleansers and other skin care products and I prefer the more expensive, natural ones with nicer ingredients but for a cheap. supermarket brand, this isn't bad.
Tips: Make sure you tailor your skin care to the type of skin you have so that you're not using the wrong products which can cause further damage.
I got a sample of this to try- I normally like Neutrogena products, so was hoping this would be a great product. But no, it was very strong and after washing my face with this it felt very tight and uncomfortable. It also slightly irritated my face, definitely not a good product for those with sensitive skin.
I used to use this face wash when i was a lot younger for my acne i worked pretty good, i received a sample recently but after i had used it my face felt tight and was really dry the ingredients in this face wash irritated my skin as well.
After using a sample once it left my skin extermely dry, to the point thst I had horrible harsh dry patches that took over a week of treatment to get rid of and has left my skin really sensitive. Would not recommend this to anyone, I was throughly disappointed as this is a highly acclaimed brand and was looking forward to trying this
I have tried this a couple of times when I have had breakouts, but stopped using it as it is very very drying. Leaves my skin feeling very tight and irritated and a bit itchy. I think it is much better to use a spot treatment or wait the breakout out instead of using this on your whole face.
Tips: You lots and lots of moisturiser if you use this!
Neutrogena's Oil Free Acne Wash is not the best cleanser, and definitely not one for sensitive or dry skin.
This product dries out any acne and so reduces acne, but in the long term this product would do more harm than good for sensitive skin. This product tends to dry out sensitive skin like mine. The scent is nothing special, though it doesn't linger too much on the skin. You do get a fair amount of cleanser for the price, so this is a very budget friendly product.
Overall, this might be a good product for oily or combination skin that can tolerate harsher treatment, ie exfoliating beads. I wouldn't buy this again, as there are many better alternatives out there.
Tips: If you do have this product, use this with an oil free moisturiser to be safe.
If you have sensitive or dry skin, it is best to avoid this product.
