    Dangerous. Do not buy

    I got this wash because I have had a good experience with neutrogena in the past and as I was running out of cleanser, I decided to buy something safe that may address light breakout I was having. Second day I had itchiness and dryness so badly at the corners of my nose, that I was involuntarily touching my face to soothe myself and caught myself to stop a couple times. assuming that my skin just needs to get used to something new, I used it again. Big mistake! The next day my entire face was not only dry but I felt this stretchy feeling - like I needed to address the dryness. that afternoon, i got red bumps on my cheeks and sometimes a tinge and sometimes a burning feeling! turns out, my skin barrier was compromised. so bad, that even applying my gentle night moisturizer caused me burning. i have had a painful 24 hours- not being able to apply anything moisturizing to soothe my skin which effectively was acting like an open wound and not feeling normal with the extreme dryness. I can't believe something so extreme is being sold by a mainstream 'safe' skincare brand like neutrogena.

    Awesome wash that helps skin be clean it is for oily skin but I have normal skin and use it some days. It has good ingredients and is effective in acne. It’s better suited for oily skin or men in my opinion for daily but I find it great for blackheads and whiteheads!

    This is such a very good face wash. It smells good, is very energizing, and is easy on the skin. It doesn't cost a lot and will last quite a while. It is a great brand that is usually carried in a lot of different stores, and at a reasonable price too.

    It may not smell super great... but it definitely gets the job done. Your face will feel so clean after using neutrogena face wash. It's a reliable product from a great brand with a long history of helping people get clean, clear skin. Sometimes, I try other products, but I always end up going back to this cleaner.

    I am absolutely thrilled with this product! After each use, my face feels wonderfully clean and refreshed. The clarity of my skin has improved dramatically, and I’m amazed that I haven't experienced any breakouts since I started incorporating it into my routine. Smells great. I like the packaging. Very affordable. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10!

    I used to have really bad back acne when I turned 30 cuz my hormones got really messed up. I tried all the different Neutrogena acne products and I feel like they helped some. It didn't get rid of all the acne though. The scent isn't bad and it's not super expensive. The packaging is standard, nothing special. I don't like using chemicals since I've had so many medical problems so I don't use this anymore. Luckily, I also don't need it anymore either. If you have acne and don't care about chemicals, give it a try.

    This bottle sucks and does not open. It’s worse every time. Neutrogena is a horrible company they should be sued and I hope they go out of business.

    Pretty effective product if you suffer with acne and oily skin. This really helped me to clear out my acne and helped me to control blackheads. The texture is very light weight and has a soft aromatic scent with handy packaging, not travel friendly but the product doesn’t leak

    My personal experience is that it dries out my skin. Pretty sure I have allergic reactions with this brand. However I love smell it gives, very clean scent and the bursting beads allow you to have a great deep clean. Packaging very efficient and some are even travel friendly.

    This is my go-to face wash whenever I have a breakout. It helps calm spots quickly without drying my skin too much. The texture is light, it lathers well, and the scent is fresh but not overpowering. After a few uses, my skin always feels clearer and smoother. Great for oily or acne-prone skin, especially as a regular part of a simple skincare routine.

    I’ve seen this cleanser recommended so many times, so I picked it up to keep on hand when my skin feels more breakout-prone. The texture is lightweight and lathers nicely, and I like that it contains salicylic acid to target clogged pores. It feels fresh and clean, without a strong scent, and doesn’t seem to overly dry the skin. Great for occasional use!
