misleading name

I though this would be a great cleanser for my face, but after a few uses my skin was worse than it already was. I was warned about neutrogena but I wasn't convinced that it was such a bad product. It didn't work like it said it was, it leave my skin dry and itchy, and I have massive breakouts which I thought wasn't this products fault

Tips: Please read carefully bfeore buying

Oil free face wash

Am very prone to acne but found that this product did work but made my skin soooo dry! Have since moved on to oil based products which are more suited to my skin type. Worth a try tho

Very drying

After using this on my face it leaves the whole thing tight and uncomfortable. Extremely drying, that's about all it does. Contains salicylic acid, but considering you don't leave this on your face, it's not exactly very effective. I wouldn't use this again whatsoever.

Tips: Might be helpful for those with extremely oily skin?

Didn't do anything special

I used to be a great fan of Neutrogena products. However, I find that nothing really in their entire range works for my skin.

This product in particular I had high hopes for. At the time I did have trouble skin so was really hoping this would fix it. Can't say it really did anything at all though.

It dried out my skin and reduced some redness. But I still had breakouts and acne. No different than not using this product (...but I suppose no worse either). It did remove makeup and make my skin feel somewhat clean, but really didn't help with acne at all.

I do like the packaging; it is simple and discreet. It comes in a good size package that lasts a decent while however I am not a fan of the price for a product that does not really do anything at all. It lathered nicely and was a good consistency and is not over-fragranced.

Overall, I would not use this product again simply because it does not work for my skin. It did not help my skin in anyway at all so for me it really was a waste of time and money.

Tips: It dried my skin out quite a bit so definitely moisturise after use.

Gave it away

This product was very drying and really made my skin feel tight.I usually have combination/oily skin but this dried it out so much that my skin actually started flaking. I don't think it smells very nice either unfortunately. I wouldn't buy it again

No to Neutrogena

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash did leave my face feeling refreshed and clean, but it didn't do anything to improve my acne at all. It smells nice and feels good but it doesn't actually work. I gave it to my sister to see if it was just my skin but she didn't notice any difference either. Sad because I usually love Neutrogena products!

Drys Out Skin

This was the first ever face wash I was introduced when I first started to grow up, And I remember that it would always dry out my skin & make it feel tight & itchy...Maybe because its oil free? I'm not sure but you deffinately need to moisturise your skin when using this, I find its quite harsh but it does dry out pimples too so if you have really oily skin I think this would be the way to go, But if not dont buy it.

Mediocre

It's taken me ages to get around to writing this review, because I honestly couldn't think of what to say apart from average, average, average.

There is nothing that stands out about this product to me at all. It says it helps acne but I saw no great changes. Sure it gave my skin a bit of a clean, which wasnt too heavy and didn't over dry it, but thats about it.

I could have forgiven this product for its sheer averageness if it had some other defining feature that I liked (or even disliked!) but frankly there are so many other cleanser options out there even within the same price range that would be better suited or do a better job.
