Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

I've noticed my skin has become a lot clearer since using this product and following with a toner/moisturiser. You only need the smallest amount of cleanser and it foams up well. You feel as though you are getting a really thorough clean and it visibly gets rid of blackheads without stripping your skins natural oils. I don't use this cleanser everyday however, as I feel its best just for those days when you need an extra good clean.

I really liked this cleanser, I found it pretty effective with my oily, acne-prone skin. The cleanser comes in an easy-to-use pump bottle, which is great for controlling how much product you use so you don't over-do it. It has a typical 'cleanser' smell, not overly unpleasant or nice. The gel lathers easily so you can work it in, and leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh. I found this worked well at keeping oil at bay, in saying that I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has dry or sensitive skin at all because this effect may be too drying for you.

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.

My skin is generally good but I got this cleanser for summer when my skin feels a bit more oily. It's been great, I don't know how good it would be for people with acne-prone skin but it cleans really well and doesn't dry my skin out. I follow with the grapefruit scrub in the same line and my skin feels clean but not squeaky-clean. Will be buying more of this for next summer.

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

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.

I found this cleanser really drying, so not suitable for prolonged use - I've kept it around and use it every now and then during a breakout, but if I use it multiple days in a row, I get dry, flaky patches - gross!

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!

I had suffered huge break out in the last few months. I tried high end cleanser and natural cleanser but nothing help until i find this one. It doesnt clear my acnes but i found my skin is cleaner and has less break out. Yes my skin is soft and smooth like baby butt, also brightener. The downside is it dry my skin out badly. I have to use moisturizer straight away after wash otherwise my face cant move. It removes make up quite well. Overall i would still use it but less often.

This was the first product I used that dried out my skin so badly that it actually made it flake around my nose/mouth/chin :( However, it was effective at controlling acne, and when I retried it a couple of months later (in summer rather than winter, using only once a day at most, and moisturising well afterwards), I didn't suffer from any irritation. The risks mean it's probably better for those with acne prone skin to use a gentler cleanser and target acne with leave on applications instead.
