Finding a skincare product that checks all the boxes and stays within budget isn’t always easy — but this one is a total gem. Let’s start with the price: super affordable for the quality it delivers. It proves you don’t have to spend a fortune for real results. The packaging is sleek and well-designed, with a minimal but elegant look that feels more luxurious than its price tag. It’s the kind of product you’d love having on display. The scent is light and refreshing — not too strong, just the perfect hint of something clean and soothing. It enhances the experience without overwhelming your senses. When it comes to ingredients, I was impressed to see a blend of skin-friendly elements like [insert ingredient — e.g. aloe, niacinamide, or green tea], which are known for their calming and hydrating properties. As for effectiveness, it truly delivers — my skin felt smoother, more hydrated, and looked noticeably healthier after just a few uses. This one’s officially earned a permanent spot in my routine. 🌿

I used this product for one day and on the second day my face got extremely itchy and red. Today when I woke up, it's dry, peeling, tight and still very red and itchy! I have stopped using this product and won't try it again! I will keep using other Neutrogena products but unfortunately this one isn't for me!

Oil-free face wash is perfect for keeping your skin clean and fresh without adding any extra oil to your face. It helps remove dirt and impurities while maintaining a balanced complexion. Definitely a must-have for anyone with oily or combination skin! 😄🚿

Mistake number 1: I used this and woke up with a rash on my face. It usually takes time for any acne treatment to work so I kept using it. Mistake number 2: I noticed my skin was VERY VERY DRY. So I decided to use it once a day and use plenty of moisturizer. ...no results. Mistake number 3: I used a small amount and added lots of water to dilute this HARSH product. YET my skin changed from dry to very flaky, leathery, itchy, and I got clusters of pimples my cheeks. I have small zits and these pimples/cyst were new to me! The BEST decision discontinued using this product after several months of using it. My skin was so bad, I HAD to see a dermatologist to help my skin recover from the damages and acne marks of this HARSH product. My self-esteem was at all time low due to my face. I looked like I aged too. AWFUL!! 2 Cents: Just because a product is on the market and "over the counter" does not mean it is safe to use on your face. Your face is delicate. Please don't use just any product. Do you research. Better yet, see a dermatologist. It is the safest way and your doctor is accountable & reliable for your skin care. Even though it's expensive, realize that dermatologist are experts in the field of skin care and are willingly to help you get clear skin in the safest way possible. For 14 years, I've used product after product (including proactive) trying to "cure" my acne with similar over-the-counter drugs when I should have just called my doctor to help me find the best product for my skin.

I love this cleanser! It’s not pricey like other cleansers but work just as well! The packaging is normal, nothing bad about it. Otherwise the smell doesn’t really smell bad nor good, this cleanser uses AMAZING ingredients. I especially love the Salicylic Acid in it!

Used product for 2 weeks consistently but failed to see consistent results. Face was left feeling clean after each use - in the morning and at night before moisturizer - and I noticed reduced acne after a couple days of use, but was disappointed to experience a breakout after just two weeks. Had to stop using the product.

a game-changer for acne-prone skin. It contains 2% salicylic acid, which helps unclog pores and prevent breakouts. I love how it gently removes excess oil without over-drying my skin. After using this face wash, my skin feels clean, fresh, and noticeably clearer. It’s also great for reducing blackheads and controlling shine throughout the day. If you struggle with acne or oily skin, this salicylic acid face wash is a must-have in your skincare routine!

I'm 17 & I have a lot to deal with already- school, boys, friends, etc.- the last thing I needed was acne! I recently started developing more and more acne and it really made me self conscious. I've tried other popular acne washes and they didn't work for me. Then, I saw all of the commercials for the best #1 dermatologist recommended acne wash and I decided to give it a try. So far,I love it. My acne disappeared on some parts of my face within days. My friends noticed a difference right away. I love the way the cleanser feels and I actually look forward to washing my face every morning now. I have gained so much confidence with my face looking like it did when I was younger!

I've been using this face wash since I was a teen to control my acne through all kinds of hormonal surges, cycles, and changes. On the daily, I use a more gentle face wash. But whenever I have a surprise breakout, the Neutrogena acne wash clears it up very quickly, with no additional products needed. I also sometimes use it to prevent breakouts when I anticipate one ahead of time. It works like a charm!

This product should be discontinued. After one gentle wash my skin feels tight as if I am recovering from a burn/scar. The skin is bumpy and scaly to touch and my eye/lip areas are swollen. The bottle doesn't even say that this is a strong wash which it definitely should. Will not by any Neutrogena products after this. Also there is a lot of similar reviews about this issue which Neutrogena should care more about.
