Great for acne

This stuff works amazing, my skin began to clear the day after I started using it and after a week my skin was almost perfect. However it does dry out your face a lot and it made my face feel very tight after using it but after I applied moisturiser it seemed better.

Tips: Definitely have a good facial moisturiser on hand as this face wash will make your skin quite dry

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.

Average product

I've tried tons and tons of products like this and this one just didn't stand out for me. Gave a good clean but at the end of the day it made no difference to the condition of my skin. Wouldn't re-purchase

Okay

I used this product a couple of years ago and I never saw results. I found that it cleansed my face and removed traces of makeup but it didn't combat my acne effectively. I didn't find that it dried out my skin ( I tend to have an oily t-zone) but It didn't feel soft or moisturised afterwards either.

Need paired with a decent moisturiser.

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.

Alright product

I use this product when my acne is at its worst. This wash makes my skin so dry that it flakes. When i do use this product I moisturize a lot afterwards to ensure my skin isn't really dry. I would only recommend this product for people with oily skin or with bad acne as its to harsh for dry skin.

Neutrogena oil free acne wash

I used to use this years ago. It did a great job at clearing my acne fast, but it was very drying.Maybe for someone with normal skin. I'm combination/oily so it dried out my face. If you have oily skin this could be bad too because you're stripping the oils off your face so your face will probably produce more oil to compensate.

Left my Skin Dry

I'm prone to hormonal acne flare-ups, so I'm always looking for a good cleanser. I washed with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash for about a month and found that while my skin stayed relatively clear, it also became drier. The wash also did not prevent the cystic kind of acne caused by hormonal fluctuations. I'm back to using milder cleansers, along with a Vitamin A derivative (Retin-A).

Tips: This may work for you if your skin tends towards the oily side.

Could be so much better

I found this cleanser at the supermarket and decided to give it a go as it said that helps prevent breakouts and is soothing to skin. I found that it really dried out my skin even though I was using a moisturizer with it and that it didn't really prevent break outs. It was nice for cleaning my face as it lathered well and smelt okay but ended up disappointing me.

Tips: I think it didn't work for me due to my very sensitive skin, give it a try because we all have different skin types.

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

i got this as i thought syliactic acid would prevent my breakouts but i found it made my skin extremely dry (i usually have combo-oily skin) and made my face feel uncomfortably tight after use. I wouldn't use this face wash again.
