Free samples

I was able to get this in a free sample by neutrogena. It came in a cute mini travel size. Which I love because I use this when im away from home so I dont have to carry but big one around. This oil free acne wash is so great. It helped clear my acne away as I get spots every now and again, and because my skin is oily is work well to help protect my skin.

The product is easy to use. You wet your face then apply a small amount of the product into your hands and rub the product onto your face. Massage in it till you think the product has cleared all the dirt away and the any left over dead skin, then rinse.

This product is great and it easy to find in supermarkets, pharmacies etc. Personally I will buy this product when it is on special or feeling I want to change up my products.

Does what is says!

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.

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

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.

Tips: Help combat the drying effect by using this once a day, and another cleanser the other time. Make sure you moisturise afterwards!

My go-to when its the time of the month

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.

Great cleanser

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.

Tips: For normal skin, I find using this every second day (followed by the scrub) strikes the best balance between clean but not dry. I follow up with a light facial moisturiser.

Keep going back

I have been using this product for a few years now and when I have tried other products I am usually disappointed and keep coming back to this one. I find it gentle and effective, not overly drying yet gives a good deep clean without abrasiveness. The scent isn't overly appealing but it isn't offensive either. I have used this in the shower on my back and chest when pregnant as I had a few hormonal spot emerge and it works a treat.

Tips: If you find this product dries your skin too much try foaming it in your hands before applying and after you have rinsed off splash your face again with cold water to ensure all traces are removed. Or you can try just using it once a week for a good deep clean with no hassles

A breakout lifesaver

Wow, I've never used a product which did more for my breakouts. I'm one of those people who aren't very good at preventing breakouts, but once I get them I'll use anything I can to rid myself of them. As with a lot of products, I use this as a spot/area treatment as my skin has sensitive areas. I spread this product over my breakouts, and leave it on for a while. The reason I use it like this is because salycylic acid works best with time. I then lather up, spread it around my face just a little, and rinse. It eats up any oil or other pimple nasties, and dries up pimples in no time leaving no scars. This really is the best thing for my breakout control, inflammed tender pimples become dry and empty ones, and thus are gone sooner.

Tips: Use it in spotty parts of your skin- too strong for the rest of your face

Great product

I found this really helped my breakouts clear up quickly. I wouldn't recommend using it every day maybe every second day or less often depending on the severity of you acne or breakouts. You don't want to overuse it as it is quite drying so make sure to moisturize after using it. It doesn't smell great which is a bit disappointing but it's an acne face wash and they often don't smell the best. Definitely more suited to those with super oily skin and more severe breakouts.

Product for acne treament

Everytime I have breakouts, I turn to this product. I tried so many different brands before when I had serious acne problem. None worked without making my skin really dry until I tried Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. It doesn't make my skin too dry but it's much better if use the Neutrogena moisturizer.
