Never again

Would definitely not purchase this again. First time I used it, it caused all my blemishes to get red, irritated, and itchy. It was on sale so fortunately I didn't pay as much as others did, but I'm sad because it's still a waste. Bought it on a whim and realized after that I should've checked the reviews. Never making that mistake again.

Terrible product

I would never use this again. I used it once and came out in a huge rash all over my face and neck. My skin stung and felt like it had been burnt. The next day my skin was literally peeling off. I would not recommend this to anyone with acne or sensitive skin

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

I received a sample sized tube along with other neutrogena products..

It full on stripped the skin on my face!!

I had really only used a tiny amount, lathered it up and began washing my face. It was until I dried my face that it was tight and almost flakey.

You know that sore , raw tightness you get from using a wash that's waaaaay too stripping....yeah that!

I do have oily skin. But this stripped beyond enough.

I wont use it again. It doesn't help my skin. It just over dries it out :(

Tips: Never use HOT water when washing your delicate face, only warm.

Awful - too drying

I used this and it felt like my face was burning and very tight. I followed the directions and used very little, then around my nose, lips and chin started to burn. Now I have flaky very dry, ultra sensitive, irritated skin that makeup wont cover :(

Tips: Do a test before you put it all over your face

Made my skin irritated and dry.

I purchased this product in a bid to curb my acne a few years ago, and was so disappointed with it. It seemed alright at first, but that changed - my skin eventually became irritated and dry as I continued to use it. I had to stop using this product in order to save my skin. Moisturising after would reduce the tightness and dryness, but my face still looked very irritated. I would not recommend this to anyone under any circumstance.

Needs a bigger warning on it

I was suffering with pretty consistent pimples, so I thought I'd give this a try. I used it once, with no problems. But by the second use my face had been chemically burnt. It was itchy and rough, with some bumps. Then it progressed into thousands of tiny tiny tiny little oil spots almost, it felt terrible. But I rang them and told them what happened, they happily refunded me $20 when I only paid $13- and sent me a return bag to send the product back to go thru quality control. So my overall experience was awful, but they managed it very well. However I will probably never by another nutrogena product in my life.

Tips: Always check for the warning labels (this one had one tiny warning that said: not suitable for sensitive skin. That was it

No recommended!

I used this cleanser for a few months before I got hooked on to using 'Proactiv'. This cleanser is cheap, smells good but did not work for me. My skin is prone to pimples. After using this, it left me with very dry skin and gave me more pimples! I would not use this again. :(

Acne wash

I recieved a trial tube of this, which lasted about a week. I found the gel to be very thick and blobby, and it had a very superficial feel on my skin. I didnt really feel as though it gave my skin a deep clean, as the bottle says it does. It left my skin feeling rather average, and not very clean. After a weeks use it hadnt helped with pimples/blackheads or oil control. I wouldn't purchase the full bottle after trialing for a week.

Over-drying Cleanser - Best for Oily Skin.

I must admit, over the years I have tried good & bad products from Neutrogena, but unfortunately this product was not for me. I have combination skin, dry in areas, normal in areas and oily in others... So it's pretty hard to find products for my skin that helps with all of these problems.

I purchased this product hoping to help with some of the slight skin problems I was having, very dull skin tone and redness with acne. But this was unfortunately one of the worst cleansers I have personally used.

It is very over-drying, it's like it strips the skin of all it's natural oils and leaves it tight, and overly dry begging for some moisture.

This may be best for someone with oily skin, then combination. But definitely won't be re-buying or recommending.

Not good 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.
