Q: Is this product a scrub or a cleanser? Like how should it be used as a scrub or a cleanser? I'm asking this because I already have a cleanser I'm just missing a scrub, I'm seeing people call it a scrubbutalsoacleanser

submitted by Kenny - 4 years ago
  • A: Hey Kenny, that's a great question! Scrubs and cleansers are very similar, and will often be referred to interchangeably. There are subtle differences in how those products help keep your skin happy and healthy, most notably that a scrub tends to penetrate deeper and focus on removing or preventing acne from the source. So we've designed this to be a scrub, but it is gentle enough to be used as a daily cleanser!

    Great exfoliating face wash for acne prone skin

    After using this face wash, my skin feels clean and refreshed. The micro srubbimg beads aren't too harsh and exfoliate nicely. I didnt notice my skin get greasy throughout the day and i had fewer breakouts, however I did notice that I had a few dry patches of skin after continuous use.

    The best acne treatment

    This cleanser leaves my skin feeling fresh and truly clean without drying it out. The packaging is practical and easy to use. After a few weeks, I noticed fewer breakouts and less oil throughout the day. It rinses of easily and doesn’t leave any residue. Formulated with salicylic acid, this oil free cleanser targets acne while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Great for oily and acne-prone skin.

    Improved formula

    I want to give Neutrogena some credit for improving the formula. I feel like it works so much better at cleaning out my pores and smells so much better than the old formula. I prefer it without the microbeads now (it used to have them) and I bet that's best for the environment anyways. I used to hate the smell and avoided this product as a result, but I was "forced" to buy it as my usual product was out of stock and have now switched to using this instead because I really liked it that much. If you have sensitive skin, you may have a burning sensation as a result of using this and I want to assume it's due to the salicylic acid, which is essential to me. If it doesn't have salicylic acid in it, it's a waste of your money IMO

    Great choice

    I really like the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Face Wash. It leaves my skin feeling super clean without making it feel greasy, and I’ve noticed it helps keep my breakouts under control when I use it consistently. A little goes a long way, and it lathers nicely. I also like that it’s oil-free and easy to find at the drugstore. Overall, it’s a solid acne face wash that actually works and is affordable. I would definitely repurchase.

    Clear Skin Without the Stress

    This scrub has been a game changer for my skin! It gently exfoliates without feeling harsh, and my face feels super clean and refreshed after every use. I noticed fewer breakouts and less redness after just a few days, and it really helps control oil without drying my skin out. The cooling sensation is calming, especially after a long day, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight. Definitely a must-have if you’re dealing with stress-related acne—highly recommend!

    Decent but nothing to write home about

    This is a pretty decent scrub although if you have hormonal acne like I do it doesn’t make much noticeable difference even after prolonged use. I’m not crazy about the scent and also have recently been burned by over exfoliating so make sure you don’t use this more than a couple times a week! Lest you eviscerate your skin barrier like I accidentally did while trying to get rid of the acne.

    Oily skin under control

    Helps mattify your skin and keep oiliness and shine under control. Gently exfoliates and cleans your pores. Has a light nice smell. Does not cure acne much.

    No more bumps and not too harsh

    I started getting really oily bumpy skin after I started taking birth control and my normal face wash wasn’t working for me anymore so I thought I’d give this one a try and oh my gosh it’s been working so well!! I love the exfoliation and how fresh my skin feels after I use it! It’s not to harsh or to overly drying either! All of my small bumps in all of my problem areas have disappeared!!

    Good, not Geat

    While it’s good for clearing acne fast, it’s also a bit rough on skin. It can stripping and might cause skin to feel tight. I’d only recommend for someone who needs to treat lots of acne versus someone looking for a spot treatment.

    Cleans away bacteria

    It cleans away dirt, oil grime and bacteria , it is oil free that has a creamy lather that fights bacteria and breakouts and reduces redness to give the skin more smooth clearer skin. It unclogs unwanted pimples also.
