    I’m not to fond of the scent of this but it worked very well on acne. The texture was great and not gritty only feeling. It doesn’t use any strange chemicals and the package is easy to use.

    I’m not totally certain if it helped prevent/clear up acne, but this is a nice, citrus-scented face wash! Can be a little stripping, my face is combo and this would often leave it a little tight.

    A Reliable Acne Solution

    I used Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid when I had persistent acne issues, and it was a real game-changer. It effectively cleared my skin, reducing breakouts and improving overall texture. The salicylic acid really made a difference in controlling oil and keeping my pores clear. Even though I don't struggle with acne anymore, I still remember how well this product worked for me. If you're dealing with breakouts, especially oily skin, this wash is definitely worth trying. It was a staple in my routine for a reason, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable acne solution.

    Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash is a gentle yet effective cleanser that helps treat and prevent acne. It contains salicylic acid, which helps clear out pores and reduce breakouts without drying out the skin. The formula lathers well, and the scent is subtle. It’s suitable for daily use, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and clean. However, those with sensitive skin may find it a bit drying, so it’s important to follow up with a moisturizer.

    I really like Nutagenas Oil Free Acne Face Wash it has a nice smell and it’s great at getting rid of dirt and oils. It can be a bit drying though so I recommend using a good moisturizer afterward, if you have active acne or are easily prone to breakouts I suggest using a non comedogenic moisturizer, basically one that won’t clog your pores and is easily absorbed.

    Was looking for something for my maturing oily skin. This face is very gentle and seems to help keep my face from being too oily, while not drying it out. I like the smell, it’s very light. My only complaint is it doesn’t lather up very much. Will be buying again.

    I bought this Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash for my husband, and the results were impressive! He has problematic skin, especially on his forehead and chin, and after just a week of regular use, the inflammation noticeably reduced, and his skin looked clearer and fresher. The cleanser contains salicylic acid, which helps fight acne by deeply cleaning pores and preventing new breakouts. Despite its powerful formula, it doesn’t dry out the skin — instead, it leaves it feeling clean and refreshed. The scent is light and pleasant, with a citrusy note — perfect for a morning boost. The packaging is also a big plus: the pump dispenser is convenient, giving just the right amount of product without any mess or spills. Another bonus — the price. For this quality, it’s very affordable, especially considering the size and effectiveness. My husband is happy, and I’m even happier — his skin finally looks healthy and clean. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective, budget-friendly, and easy-to-use acne cleanser!

    If you are really struggling with acne and you feel like you’ve tried all the other products this is not gonna work for you. This is something for somebody with really easy care needed. If you are an adult in your mid 20s to early 30s, this is not gonna help you with that hormonal acne.

    I’ve been using the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash for a while now, and it has truly made a difference in my skin! This face wash effectively clears up breakouts without over-drying, which is a huge plus for me. The salicylic acid helps fight acne, while the oil-free formula keeps my skin feeling fresh and clean. I love how it removes excess oil and dirt without leaving my face feeling tight or irritated. It lathers well and rinses off easily, making my skin feel smooth and refreshed after every wash. Plus, it helps prevent new breakouts, which is exactly what I need in an acne cleanser. If you’re looking for an affordable, dermatologist-recommended face wash that actually works, I highly recommend this one. It’s a staple in my skincare routine, and I won’t be switching anytime soon!
