Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash – Salicylic Acid Cle
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash truly delivers results! After just a few uses, it noticeably clears pores, reduces breakouts, and makes the skin look smoother. The salicylic acid gently exfoliates and helps fight acne without drying out the skin. It lathers well, rinses easily, and leaves a fresh, clean feeling. Great for daily use, non-comedogenic, and gentle on sensitive skin. I’m very happy with it — an effective and trustworthy cleanser!

dependable acne-fighting cleanser that keeps pore
The Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid is a reliable cleanser for managing breakouts. It has a lightweight gel texture that spreads easily and leaves my skin feeling deeply cleaned. After consistent use, I noticed fewer breakouts and smoother texture. It can feel slightly drying on some days, but a good moisturizer fixes that quickly. The dispenser works well and gives the right amount of product every time. Overall, it’s a great daily acne-fighting wash for oily or acne-prone skin.

A simple, everyday facial cleanser
This product keeps my skin clear and healthy. I love that it foams up because it makes me feel like it’s really deeply cleansing my skin. The fragrance is very subtle, which I prefer. Highly recommend if you have sensitive skin, as the ingredients are very simple and clean.

never again
very drying, and broke me out. i don’t trust any neutrogena products. i have a very sensitive skin, and this ruined my skin barrier. i don’t trust a face wash with salicylic acid for acne wash, as that can irritate your skin.

didn’t work
This product has been around forever! One of the first acne cleaners I used. Great lather and Neutrogena is a great company but this like many of their facial acne products didn’t work out for me.

Great baseline product
This is the best acne face wash for general use. It has gentle ingredients and is fragrance free making it less irritating on the skin. It used to be hard to travel with due to the lack of a lock button to prevent the soap from being pressed out, but now they come with a click on lock that can be used when traveling. Highly recommend for starters to the skincare game or anyone who needs some light exfoliation anywhere on their body.

Great for Oily skin
Classic facial cleaser for acne! If you have dry skin, I would avoid this product. It feels nice and creamy while also possessing a great lather. The pump is great. Would recommend to oily skin folks.

Everyone need to try
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid is one of the most reliable drugstore cleansers for acne-prone skin. The gel texture foams easily, and it removes oil without leaving the skin greasy or sticky. The 2% salicylic acid helps to clean inside the pores and prevent whiteheads and blackheads. After a few days of use, the skin feels smoother and looks less congested. This cleanser can also control breakouts on the jawline or around the T-zone very well. However, it can feel a little drying if you use it twice a day, especially in cold weather, so a light moisturizer is needed. Overall, this is an affordable, effective daily cleanser for oily or combination skin.

Not bad similar to Panoxyl.
Not bad. I’ve previously used PanOxyl, and to be honest, they work the same. However, I’ve noticed fewer severe breakouts.
