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.
