Destroyed my skin

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!

Neutrogena sample

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.

All right supermarket standard product

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.

Too strong

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.

Too harsh

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

Extremely Drying and Irritating

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 Oil Free Acne Wash

After my first use of the product my face broke out in a rash that lasted 2 days as I found out it contained salicylic acid which my sisters are also allergic to

Tips: Don't use if you are allergic to salicylic acid

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

I used to use this product all of the time when I was younger and found it to be fantastic. I wouldn't use it any more as I am older now so I don't have a oily skin type like I had as a teenager and in my early 20's but I would recommend it for someone with a true oily acne prone skin.

Tips: As it mentions don't use if you have dry or sensitive skin. Only use if you have an oily acne prone skin. If you just get the odd spot here and there you would be better using a gentle cleanser and a spot treatment cream.

Not for frequent use

I have used this on and off over the past couple of years (yes, it might have past its best before date but I didnt realise they had them until reading it on BR!). I certainly can help with a breakout but if you do not have super oily skin it will be very drying. I think my skin is drying out as I get older and so I am noticing that this face wash is now drying out my skin to the point where it is so tight it feels like its going to split :( No amount of night cream can sooth it either. Hence, I will not be using it anymore, but I did find that it would stop a breakout in its tracks, and does leave my skin feeling deep clean.

Tips: Only use if you have oily skin. If your skin is not oily, def find an alternative to fight those breakouts. Also, i wouldn't recommend using it daily, even if your skin is oily. Maybe combine using this with a natural product every other day?
