    HORRIBLE! Do not recommend

    Gave me chemical burn & dried my face out tremendously. I’ve been trying to use caster oil to get my face smooth again. It feels like sand paper 😭

    Zero stars!

    I’m really disappointed with the new formula. I’ve used this oil-free acne wash for years, and it’s always been my go-to. Unfortunately, the recent change is very noticeable, especially the smell—it’s strong and unpleasant. Smells like metal! The first time I used it, I honestly thought something was wrong with my towels before realizing it was the face wash itself. I truly loved the original version, but this new formula just isn’t the same. I really hope you consider bringing back the original or improving the scent, because this has been a huge letdown for a long-time customer.

    Using this face wash feel like a super star

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, after that, I also use The Ordinary serum. So, the combination of these two is absolutely perfect, and I am using them—my skin is absolutely perfect, it’s clean, I’m very happy. I love Neutrogena!

    Great for redness and breakouts!

    I always buy it in a bag of 6 because I am afraid to run out. This is how good this product is. It keeps my breakout so under control and heals all redness I dryness I have since my skin is so sensitive. I feel that my skin absorbs it so fast and good that gives me a tightness feeling after I wash my face with it. The consistency is to the perfect point leaving my skin feeling more fresh and clean. I am so in love with it.

    The Perfect Acne Wash

    I use this product in the morning, before l put on my makeup and at night before l go to bed. My face doesn’t get irritated with this face wash. I put very little on my hand and it’s enough for my big face. I’ve noticed my skin looks clean and smooth. This product works for me. I might work for you as well.

The texture is lightweight , it lathers well , and leaves a fresh feeling without overly drying my skin . With consistent use, I noticed clearer and smoother skin.

    Trusted face wash

    This product has been around for quite a while and I've used it on and off over the years. It does its job and it's very effective with cleaning your face. I have found this product on the clearance aisle before. It does control breakouts and the only downside is that it does make your skin dry but I feel like that's the point of this product because it is oil-free. The cost of this product is within someone's lower side of a budget and that works for me.

    Clean and fresh

    My very first cleanser I used as a teenager. I can still smell the clearness of this product. It was my favorite. Smelt so clean and fresh. Left my face feeling the same way. I’m 35 now and I’m really considering getting me one now, just because this brings back so may good memories.

    Teenagers need

    That a powerful acne fighting medication helps treat existing breakouts and prevent future. Deep cleaning pores removing excess oil and unclogging them without over drying. Teenagers need it to clean well because they have to much oily on the face after school or go out. That removed dirt and dark soot

    Definitely recommend

    Neutrogena works very well on my skin. It doesn’t leave an oily sticky feel and my face is silky and smooth. I use to have pimples just pop up out of nowhere and now that’s a problem I don’t have anymore.

    Clears acne

    I have tried so many cleansers especially during my teenage years and this face wash was one of them. I can say that it definitely helps clear acne! My only con was the fragrance but other than that it’s a great face wash for acne

    Inexpensive go-to face wash for excess oil

    This is a decent face wash that removes makeup and excess oil. If you use morning and at night time it keeps breakouts away. You might have a little irritation if you use it twice a day. If there’s excess drying, I would definitely cut it back and avoid your eye area. It’s a good, inexpensive face wash.
