Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

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.

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.

Growing up I had terrible acne from the age of 11 to 18. I tried everything, and it wasnt until I was 16 I came across this product and have been using it ever since. With the combination of the face scrub this product is dynamite.

It cleared my skin and made my skin less oily. I continue to use this to this day. Its affordable, lasts ages and delivers results.

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.

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.

I tried this product and while it did clear up my skin of zits it was also very harsh on my sensitive skin and gave me a rash after about a week of using it every evening. If you have skin that can tolerate a harsher product it is effective at eliminating zits. Not recommended for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies to salicylic acid.

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.

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.

Far too harsh for skin. It leaves my skin feeling very dry and tight, and I immediately have to apply moisturiser lest I feel like I'm going to crack. I feel like it ruins the top layer of my skin. It doesn't leave any lasting damage it just feels uncomfortable. I have dry skin, so it might be more better suited for someone with extremely oily skin already.

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.
