Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

I used this once a day because twice a day dried my skin to much. Growing up I never had any problems with dryness until I used this product. It dried the skin around my nose so had its scared now. I would never recommend this

With the promising television advertisements for this brand we see today, I tend to shake my head and raise my eyebrows. I was still in high school when I bought this product and boy was I excited! Ohhhhh to have a flawless complexion - little did I know that those with sensitive skin shouldn't use the product.

I have oily sensitive skin so naturally I saw "oil-free" and didn't think of much else when purchasing. It comes in simple sturdy packaging with a pump dispenser which is great just don't press it right to the bottom because you'll dispense more than you need. It's a semi-runny gel-like consistency that doesn't lather up too much. There is a light fresh soapy fragrance which is gentle on the nose.

I wet my face and then apply a small amount of product and massage it well. Once done, I rinse it off thoroughly with cold water and pat it dry. It left my skin feeling clean and renewed. When I used this product I skipped toning because I just felt that there was slight stinging so I just went in with moisturiser.

I used this twice a day initially but soon changed it to every second day when I noticed that my skin was not reacting too well to it. By day 7 the small breakouts became worse so I gave my skin a break for 2 days and started back up again. Unfortunately I started to develop dry painful patches (yes on my oily face!) and since I saw no improvement I discontinued using the product entirely.

Wow, I've never used a product which did more for my breakouts. I'm one of those people who aren't very good at preventing breakouts, but once I get them I'll use anything I can to rid myself of them. As with a lot of products, I use this as a spot/area treatment as my skin has sensitive areas. I spread this product over my breakouts, and leave it on for a while. The reason I use it like this is because salycylic acid works best with time. I then lather up, spread it around my face just a little, and rinse. It eats up any oil or other pimple nasties, and dries up pimples in no time leaving no scars. This really is the best thing for my breakout control, inflammed tender pimples become dry and empty ones, and thus are gone sooner.

Love this! I have very dry skin however and made sure I always moisturized afterwards. My dad stole this after me and I was wondering why it was going so fast!

I didnt find this helped me at all, I never felt clean faced after I used the product and it didnt help clear my skin it actually made it worse but that just may be the effect it had on me.

Love this product as i was a young teen, I used it once a week as it always got rid of my acne fast. Love the product always did me well, and do recommend to young teens needing a solution for acne

Firstly, this dried out my skin way too much. In the first use, my skin felt tight, then horribly dry, which I just tried to correct with my normal facial moisturiser. I thought if I just keep it moist it would counter that. I wish I had of stopped there! The second time I used this, I woke up the next day with what I can only describe as hives all over my face and neck - I was extreamly swollen, red, dry, and it stung like Sunburn. If anything, it reminded me of a chemical burn. I have no allergies, my skin has never reacted to any product before, nor do I have sensitive skin, needless to say I am not happy. After this, I looked online for reviews, too many people complained of the exact same reactions, so I am not even sure why this product is being sold. The company reply with "This is not a typical reaction", well from all the reviews I have read, there are more bad reactions than good! It has taken 5 days for the swelling to go down, my skin now feels like it is recovering from a chemical burn, it looks terrible. No creams worked on it, I took antihistamines which I had to go out to buy because I have never had reactions to anything, so nothing was in the cupboards - but it done nothing, I just had to ride it out. I understand this might work for some, but the majority is too negative. Please do not use this, I would hate for others to suffer like this.

Upon first using this it burnt my face so badly! Turned it into a red irritated mess. Would definately not recommend for sensitive skin. I have not had much luck with neutrogena products. They all just seem far too harsh for my skin but this was definately the worst.

i love this one my skin is extra sensitive and this wash is so gentle on my face and it evened out my oilyness i didnt feel dry afterwards either would buy again
