Ingredients
A daily face wash for oily skin designed to help treat and prevent breakouts without over‑drying skin. This daily face wash is formulated with 2% salicylic acid acne medication to penetrate deep into pores and help clear acne while removing excess oil and surface buildup. The oil free face wash formula cleans thoroughly and rinses clean, leaving skin feeling fresh and residue‑free rather than tight or greasy. Designed as an acne control cleanser, this cleanser helps unclog pores and remove dirt and oil that can contribute to breakouts. It improves skin tone and blotchiness for a clearer complexion. Use this facial cleanser by wetting face, applying to hands, adding water, and working into a lather. Massage gently over face and rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes. From the dermatologist‑recommended brand, Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash offers a simple, effective way to break the breakout cycle while helping treat acne and prevent future breakouts when used as directed.
Directions: New Users: Apply to small area once daily for 3 days to test for sensitivity. If no discomfort occurs, apply to entire affected area and rinse off. Start with 1 application, gradually increasing to 2-3 times daily, if needed. If dryness/peeling occurs, reduce to once a day or every other day.
Warning: External use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if it occurs, flush with water. Skin irritation and dryness more likely when used with other topical acne products. If irritation occurs, use only one product. Stop use and see doctor if: you develop severe irritation/burning/itching; your case is severe and/or if no improvement within 6-8 weeks. If you develop hives, swelling of eyes and mouth, blistering or difficulty breathing, get medical help right away. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Center or get medical help right away. Ask doctor before use if pregnant/breastfeeding. Store at 15-30°C.

Burned my skin
Four days after I started using this product, my face started burning and it suddenly turned red and swollen. Additionally, my skin started peeling off for the first time in my life (I had oily combo skin). I stopped using it immediately. It's been two days after I stopped using this product, the redness and swollen have gotten better but my face still burns.
The dryness even gave me crow's feet for the first time in my life (I'm 21)
Neutrogena should remove this product from its website and shelves of all its distributors immediately. And the company representatives should issue a public apology to all the victims who went through this traumatic experience.

Worst facewash
ATTENTION BUYERS!!!! I bought this yesterday and i used it twice a day. 1st day was fine but this is the second day i washed my face and after 1 hour my whole face is swelled and I’m not able to open my eyes properly. For the first time I’m reviewing any product. I bought it to clear my face acne but ended up having severe reaction to my face from any facewash so far. Please be careful while choosing any product for your face. I’m having my job interview tomorrow. What should i do now. DON’t BUY THIS PRODUCT. Irritating to the eyes and burning my face.

Excellent Face Wash
While no product is perfect, this works quite well. I have tried soooo many products over the years to battle my chronic acne. After another product I was using was discontinued, I needed to find an effective replacement. This wash has ultimately been the best I could find. My skin is very reactive and sensitive to ingredients but it responds well to this cleanser. It reduces acne, allows pimples to heal, and reduces oil. It is a bit drying but your skin gets used to it after a week or so. I am very happy I found this product!

Very disappointed
I bought this product to try it for the first time. After 2 days of use it gave my face a rash like a chemical burn. It was dry and flaky and burned to the touch. Was very disappointed:(

The Best
This is the first product I have tried by Neutrogena and it’s great. This product takes patience and time. You have to get to know it before you give it a final verdict. When I first started using it, I did not think much of it. I then learnt that some people leave it on the skin for a few seconds before rinsing it off and I think that really did it for me. Leaving it on the skin for a few seconds before rinsing really gets the acne. I also use it on my body and it works really well as a body cleanser. I highly recommend it. Definitely patch test it if you are scared to try it.

Ingredients Changed?!
So been using this for a while and just bought a new bottle and its totally different. The previous bottle made my skin nice and smooth and now its just a dried out mess, I actually noticed right away when it smelled different and foamed up less. Looking at the ingredients on my old bottle compared to the new one and also what is listed on here it looks like you completely removed Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract as the second ingredient presumably to cheap out and make your cost lower? Nice move Neutrogena, been a loyal customer for a while with numerous products and I'm done.

Terrible
Bought this 3 days ago and woke up 2 days later with looks like a burn on one side of my face. It’s swollen, red, irritable.
This isn’t the first time a product from neutrogena has done this to my skin.

Too Dry - Skin Reaction
I used this for a couple days before I noticed anything bad - on the third day I woke up to the skin around my mouth and nose so uncomfortably dry that it was painful to move my face. It also somehow made my lip really dry (despite not applying it around my lips). I stopped usage and the day after woke up to my face entirely swollen, red, and so dry it was flaking. It did clean my skin but not worth the pain of the reaction. I also don't have sensitive skin so this was a very odd reaction. DO NOT use this daily. There are better products for acne and oil prone skin.
