    No salicylic acid in ingredients list even though the claim on bottle is 2% salicylic acid. Weird!

    It’s a fine product. I think it wasn’t the best for my skin personally. The scent was fine. I have acne prone skin and have found the routine and products that work for me and this isn’t a part of it. Good affordable price so i feel like it was an ok experiment for my skin regardless.

    Didn’t meet expectations

    I recently tried the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid, hoping it would help with my occasional breakouts. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. While the product is marketed as a gentle acne solution, I found it to be quite drying on my skin. After using it for a week, my face felt tight and somewhat irritated. The formula does have salicylic acid, which is a well-known acne-fighting ingredient. However, it seemed to strip my skin of its natural oils rather than just targeting the acne. I also experienced some redness and flakiness around my nose and chin area. On a more positive note, the cleanser has a pleasant scent and lathers well, making it easy to apply and rinse off. It might work better for those with very oily skin, but if you have combination or sensitive skin, you may want to be cautious. In summary, while the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash could work for others, it didn't suit my skin type. There might be better options available for those with sensitive or dry skin.

    I tried the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid and found the item a bit overpriced. It has a nice scent and has the squirt pump that can get clogged. It is an okay face wash.

    This cleanser worked wonders on my skin when I had active breakouts with hormonal cystic acne. The pump makes it easy to use in the shower and it has a very light, clean scent that doesn’t stick around. I did find it a bit drying on my combination skin after continued use, so it’s definitely best for oily skin types. I will definitely be keeping this one on hand when my skin gets congested.

    This is a classic and reliable face wash! I reach for this when my skin is broken out and I don’t want to use anything with complicated actives. Just gentle acne treatment at a good price.
