Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

With the promising television advertisements for this brand we see today, I tend to shake my head and raise my eyebrows. I was still in high school when I bought this product and boy was I excited! Ohhhhh to have a flawless complexion - little did I know that those with sensitive skin shouldn't use the product.

I have oily sensitive skin so naturally I saw "oil-free" and didn't think of much else when purchasing. It comes in simple sturdy packaging with a pump dispenser which is great just don't press it right to the bottom because you'll dispense more than you need. It's a semi-runny gel-like consistency that doesn't lather up too much. There is a light fresh soapy fragrance which is gentle on the nose.

I wet my face and then apply a small amount of product and massage it well. Once done, I rinse it off thoroughly with cold water and pat it dry. It left my skin feeling clean and renewed. When I used this product I skipped toning because I just felt that there was slight stinging so I just went in with moisturiser.

I used this twice a day initially but soon changed it to every second day when I noticed that my skin was not reacting too well to it. By day 7 the small breakouts became worse so I gave my skin a break for 2 days and started back up again. Unfortunately I started to develop dry painful patches (yes on my oily face!) and since I saw no improvement I discontinued using the product entirely.

Upon first using this it burnt my face so badly! Turned it into a red irritated mess. Would definately not recommend for sensitive skin. I have not had much luck with neutrogena products. They all just seem far too harsh for my skin but this was definately the worst.

I used this product awhile ago, It was easy to use and had a smooth texture.The smell wasn't pleasant very artificial.I personally found this product to be to strong for my skin and it made my skin dry and flaky in some areas. This is why I would not be likely to use it agin but did find that it helped to clear my skin up.

I used this as part of a sample pack I got from Neutrogena. The moment I rinsed it off I regretted it. My skin was very tight and very very dry. And no matter how much moisturizer I tried to use it stayed the same! In fact it got so bad I had dry flaky patches on my skin a few days later, after one use!

I got a sample of this to try- I normally like Neutrogena products, so was hoping this would be a great product. But no, it was very strong and after washing my face with this it felt very tight and uncomfortable. It also slightly irritated my face, definitely not a good product for those with sensitive skin.

I used to use this face wash when i was a lot younger for my acne i worked pretty good, i received a sample recently but after i had used it my face felt tight and was really dry the ingredients in this face wash irritated my skin as well.

After using a sample once it left my skin extermely dry, to the point thst I had horrible harsh dry patches that took over a week of treatment to get rid of and has left my skin really sensitive. Would not recommend this to anyone, I was throughly disappointed as this is a highly acclaimed brand and was looking forward to trying this

After my first use of the product my face broke out in a rash that lasted 2 days as I found out it contained salicylic acid which my sisters are also allergic to

I personally do not like the brand used it a few years ago but all the products stripped my skin and was horrible. you definitely get what you pay for with these products and unfortunately i found them cheap and nasty, I don't recommend

I used this product in my twenties, when I suffered from horrible acne outbreaks. This face wash was good at cleansing but left my skin super dry and stripped of it's natural moisture which wasn't very helpful in what it claims to do.
