Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

I have tried this many times and all the times it hasn't helped my acne situation at all. I have horrible acne and even though this is affordable its just another thing that sits in the back of my cupboard. It really tightened my skin and felt yucky.

I have really oily skin. Not the type that breaks out into loads acne (thankfully) but the type that leaves little bumps and oil all over my face. Yuck. I was hoping that this would do the trick and help my bumps decrease, but it did literally nothing. The "oil-free" part didn't have any effect on my skin. I shall continue my hunt for the perfect cleanser to stop my oily skin! Any tips would be greatfully accepted!!

I used to use this face wash when i would have a shower. It took quite abit to rub all over my face. And when i dried my face with the towel iit instantly dried out my skin and felt horrible, wouldnt use again.

I purchased this when my skin was breaking out really badly, I had seen the ads on TV, and thought maybe it'd be a great product to help clear my skin. It does have Salicylic acid but not enough to actually help clear acne.

This was an ok wash, it smelled refreshing and clean, it foamed really well, but sometimes it just left me feeling a little too clean, and would often dry me out. A tiny bit goes a long way, and you will definitely need a moisturiser after use.

Neutrogena's Oil Free Acne Wash is not the best cleanser, and definitely not one for sensitive or dry skin.

This product dries out any acne and so reduces acne, but in the long term this product would do more harm than good for sensitive skin. This product tends to dry out sensitive skin like mine. The scent is nothing special, though it doesn't linger too much on the skin. You do get a fair amount of cleanser for the price, so this is a very budget friendly product.

Overall, this might be a good product for oily or combination skin that can tolerate harsher treatment, ie exfoliating beads. I wouldn't buy this again, as there are many better alternatives out there.

I have tried this product a few times. About a pea sized amount of foam on the hand. Rub into your skin and only leave on your skin for a short amount of time.

As I have sensitive skin I found this product to be very drying and burn into my skin leaving it irritated.

It does leave my skin feeling nice BUT I think it does more harm to my skin then good.

For the price I feel like I would be able to find a similar object for the same price with better results.

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.

I used this cleanser when I had quite bad skin - to be fair it did really clear up my skin quite fast.

The only downside was that it made my skin SO dry - my skin was constantly flaking off - even when I moisturised all throughout the day.

It did not look or feel nice at all!

Unlike a lot of the other reviewers, I didn't find this cleanser particuarly drying- if you use a really good moisturiser afterwards, flakiness should be kept to a minimum. However, it doesn't really do much in the way of clearing up acne. I think it is overpriced.

I used this product for over a month and it made my mainly normal skin (but I get a few spots), pretty oily and really stuck to the surface of the skin.
