- "I've been using this for about 12 years. I've had 3 different dermatologists recommend it to me, so it must be good! It is a great basic face wash that lathers well and doesn't leave residue on my face. Years ago I tried switching to another wash but I learned my lesson and went back to the tried and true! It just didn't work for me as well as this. It is not drying on my skin but may be if you have sensitive skin. I don't think any face wash is powerful enough on its own to get rid of acne (the medicine isn't on your skin long enough) but this is great as part of a regimen. It is oil-free so shouldn't give you breakouts!" in 186 reviews

Tried SEVERAL face washes throughout my life. Cursed with annoying adult acne and it just seemed like nothing was really working. No, it is not full proof, but I wish I used it sooner. No real scent. Not irritating. Leaves the face a little dry/tight feeling after use, but after like 10-15 min, it feels normal. My face is mostly under control for the first time in a longgg time. I still break out at times (hormonal reasons, eating stuff I know I shouldn’t be, touching my face for no reason throughout day...) But I call this one “going back to the basics”. Tried so many different scrub type, 3-step type, diffeny motning/night face washes... got tired of it and since seeing this one around for so long, decided to give it a bottle try... 3 bottles later, same face wash. No hoops. No extra stuff. Just the basics

This is my favorite face wash for my acne that I've tried! It leaves you with such a clean feeling after one wash, and you can see good progress just days after using it continuously. My face is much clearer than it was months ago, and it's because of this product. The only discouraging thing is that it does leave your face feeling a little dry, but a good moisturizer should be able to help with that.
When looking for a facial cleaning that was not harsh on my skin was not an easy task. I tried all kinds over the years. Hoever, finding Neutrogena Oil Free Wash was amazing. I use the moring blast and even the eveing with lavender. I love how my skin glows, does not feel too dry or oily and most of all it looks fresh and clean.
I like this product when i feel i have an exceptionally oily day. It feels stronger than my other face wash and i feel like i have to moisturize a lot more after i use this, so i tend to stay away from it during colder months. But if i feel a breakout coming or my face was very dirty for some reason, this is my go-to face wash!
This is my current go to face wash and I love it! It is gentle enough that it doesn’t burn my skin but effective enough that it keeps my break outs at bay! It also does a good job at taking off my face makeup! I just lather it on my damp skin in the shower and exfoliated my skin with a soft wash cloth to follow! Hope this helps!

Cleaned my face without drying or irritation. It leaves my skin feeling nice, but I didn't see a huge drop in acne on my face. My acne is moderate, so nothing that OTC products shouldn't be able to handle. In all fairness, I haven't been using this at night, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, hence the fourth star.
I find that a lot of Neutrogena’s oil-free products leave my skin feeling on the dry side but aside from that, this is a great acne wash! I started using it when I saw some small bumps on my forehead and after about a month of using it, I could see the lack of bumps and it stayed that way for as long as I used it!

I love to use this product when I have acne breakouts on my face. It does a great job of drying out my pours and clearing up my skin. The only down fall is that it drys out your face a lot. I would not use this as my everyday face wash. You should also use a good moisturizer with this product.
This is a great product to use 😍 honestly it smells amazing, the package is perfect the texture of the cream is great, every small detail fits with what it does. Ive used it in my skin care routine for like 3 weeks now and it is amazing how affordable and accurate it is. Big thumbs up!
This made a huge difference in stopping those every so often breakouts. I have love this and remember way back in the day my sisters dermatologist recommended this. I don’t use it all the time just every now and again. It comes out easy and only needs one hand which is nice.

I feel this does. I have used it many times in the past. I think it is worth the price.
How many times a day & how long have you been using this product? What are your results?
