Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

Neutrogena oil free acne wash is a face cleanser containing 2% salicylic acid as its active ingredient. The cleanser claims to unblock pores and prevent future breakouts. It also claims to be non-drying, however from my own experience I've found around half of people using Neutrogena oil free acne wash claim their skin is dryer. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as dry skin is better than oily skin when it comes to acne.

Neutrogena oil free acne wash should be used morning and night for best results. A gentle moisturizer should generally be used afterwards, to somewhat reduce the drying effects.

Neutrogena oil free acne wash costs around $6 per bottle, and is fantastic value for money. It's a very popular cleanser amongst acne sufferers, and one that is definitely a leader in its class.

There are varying comments on acne websites about this product. I'd say that most people are seeing an improvement in their skin surface. A positive comment on the Amazon website says "Does the job well! Leaves your skin nice, dry and soft. Fights Acne well.".

However there are also some negative comments along the lines of "I have used this product for years and it always burns my skin! Maybe my skin is just too sensitive, but I've always had problems with drying/peeling to the extent where patches of my skin will be paler in the summers because of the peeling. It does not help acne as much as it probably should."

This goes to show that each individual will react differently to Neutrogena oil free acne wash, depending on their skin type.

Like all acne products, Neutrogena oil free acne wash is worth experimenting with. If it doesn't work, simply cross it off your list of acne-effective products and move on to something else.
