Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

It's taken me ages to get around to writing this review, because I honestly couldn't think of what to say apart from average, average, average.

There is nothing that stands out about this product to me at all. It says it helps acne but I saw no great changes. Sure it gave my skin a bit of a clean, which wasnt too heavy and didn't over dry it, but thats about it.

I could have forgiven this product for its sheer averageness if it had some other defining feature that I liked (or even disliked!) but frankly there are so many other cleanser options out there even within the same price range that would be better suited or do a better job.

This was the first ever face wash I was introduced when I first started to grow up, And I remember that it would always dry out my skin & make it feel tight & itchy...Maybe because its oil free? I'm not sure but you deffinately need to moisturise your skin when using this, I find its quite harsh but it does dry out pimples too so if you have really oily skin I think this would be the way to go, But if not dont buy it.

I must admit, over the years I have tried good & bad products from Neutrogena, but unfortunately this product was not for me. I have combination skin, dry in areas, normal in areas and oily in others... So it's pretty hard to find products for my skin that helps with all of these problems.

I purchased this product hoping to help with some of the slight skin problems I was having, very dull skin tone and redness with acne. But this was unfortunately one of the worst cleansers I have personally used.

It is very over-drying, it's like it strips the skin of all it's natural oils and leaves it tight, and overly dry begging for some moisture.

This may be best for someone with oily skin, then combination. But definitely won't be re-buying or recommending.

This dried out pimples very well but it really reacted my my skin as it is so sensitive it needs a really good moisturiser for afterwards!

After Having my Second baby i completely broke out in acne. It was horrible, so I purchased this product from the supermarket. it was ok for the first day or two days, although I wasn't seeing any change in my skin. after about the forth day of using my skin became very dry, flaky and incredibly itchy (which is that last thing you want on your face) you get a lot of product so It would last a while, but i wont be using this again.

have used this a few times over the last year and have found that it does clear up my skin, it dries out pimples and stops them from being aggressive and sore, but in doing so also dries out your whole face making it feel very tight and itchy. my skin is usually normal/oily, but even i found that this cleanser made my face very dry and created patches of dry flaky skin which caused my foundation to be flaky and not sit properly on my skin. i would recommend this product to people trying to get rid of acne, but make sure you have a good oil free moisturizer to use straight afterwards or your skin will be extremely dry :-))

This product was pretty intense. The first time I used this product I was surprised how stripping it was. Afterwards my skin felt incredibly dry and tight, even after using my regular moisturiser I still felt like my skin had been totally stripped. I swapped out my moisturiser for something a little more nourishing and I'd say I achieved the desired result. In saying that I do get pimple and have excess oily but do not have incredibly acne prone skin, nor do I have sensitive skin. If you have serious acne and or sensitive skin especially, I would not recommend this product, however with a decent moisturiser and for this price I think it works reasonably well.

Am very prone to acne but found that this product did work but made my skin soooo dry! Have since moved on to oil based products which are more suited to my skin type. Worth a try tho

I recieved a trial tube of this, which lasted about a week. I found the gel to be very thick and blobby, and it had a very superficial feel on my skin. I didnt really feel as though it gave my skin a deep clean, as the bottle says it does. It left my skin feeling rather average, and not very clean. After a weeks use it hadnt helped with pimples/blackheads or oil control. I wouldn't purchase the full bottle after trialing for a week.

I though this would be a great cleanser for my face, but after a few uses my skin was worse than it already was. I was warned about neutrogena but I wasn't convinced that it was such a bad product. It didn't work like it said it was, it leave my skin dry and itchy, and I have massive breakouts which I thought wasn't this products fault
