  Am I The Only One Who Hates It?

  by thebeautygirl (2 reviews)

  I am 13 years old with (not to make you jealous) pretty much perfect skin: no acne or any problems, normal, but just a little bit oily on the forehead because of my stupid oily bangs. Anyway. I tried out this product because my friend didn't want it anymore: she hated it. So, when I first used it, I was like, eek, it smel... May 25, 2008, 6:46 pm I am 13 years old with (not to make you jealous) pretty much perfect skin: no acne or any problems, normal, but just a little bit oily on the forehead because of my stupid oily bangs. Anyway. I tried out this product because my friend didn't want it anymore: she hated it. So, when I first used it, I was like, eek, it smells... funny. Not bad, but definitely not pleasant. Second of all, after I used it, my skin felt tight. It's not like it was a terrible product, but it wasn't for me. I only used it twice, with the same results, because I didn't want to ruin my skin. Sorry, but I didn't like it. It was cheap though... P.S. The pump dispenser left some orange residue around the opening. Anything good??? It was... easy to use and... cheap. May 25, 2008, 6:46 pm

  From too oily to too dry

  by notchrissy (3 reviews)

  I have oily skin, so my dermatologist recommended this stuff to me a couple years ago, but it made things worse. This product uses salicylic acid to combat oil, but it can also dry your skin out, which is what happened to me. My skin was flaky and tight feeling.

This product uses salicylic acid to combat oil, but it can also dry your skin out, which is what happened to me. My skin was flaky and tight feeling. I didn't use it consistently enough or long enough to know if it reduced my acne. One thing I found helped was applying non-comodogenic (non pore-clogging) lotion to my face after use of the acne-wash. I did continue to use this wash on my back, which helped it stay clear and smooth, but didn't dry my skin out like on my face. March 14, 2008, 2:35 am

  Great for sensitive skin

  by sjsmith25 (1 review)

  I normally don't do the review thing, but I have tried so many different products since moving out west 10 years ago.

I came from a humid climate, and the dryness took a toll on my skin, especially after having my kids. When I used to break out as a teen, it was occasionally, maybe one blemish every two months. After having kids, and stress with work (I know-what's stress!) my skin starting breaking out at least twice a month because it was so dry, it was overproducing so much oil, and those super acne washes only made it worse. My skin is incredibly sensitive, but I do break out. I have tried proactive, but that dried me out even more, and did not work on my back when that gets testy during those heavy sweater months. I use this in the morning, and the oil free acne wash cleansing pads at night, and my skin does not get overly dry. I have found that it also does not overproduce oil, as I saw with some of the stronger Proactiv type cleansers with 20 million steps. I also love that it is simple, no toners, no worrying if you have cotton balls, reordering, so on. You can pick it up for an incredibly reasonable price, comparatively at almost any store, wash, put moisturizer on, and go. The cleansing cloths are the same, but one side is soft and the other has texture, which is nice after you get home from work to take your makeup off. I highly recommend this product- very good quality for an incredible price, and easily accesible for moms. One thing- since this does have salicylic acid- you cannot use this if you are pregnant! But, you also can't use anything with benzoyl peroxide in it either. If you are pregnant, ask your doc about clindamycin- very gentle gel that clears sking beautifully, no scarring and helps healing along much faster. I still keep a tube just in case.

  For Certain Skintypes, it's a great product!

  by MissMo (3 reviews)

  I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily but isn't excessively oily (and in many place is actually quite dry.) I use this at night only and it's not too harsh but I do feel very clean afterwards. My skin breaks out less and the break outs are less severe when I'm using this, than when I'm not. For that reason I give ... November 27, 2007, 2:31 pm I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily but isn't excessively oily (and in many place is actually quite dry.) I use this at night only and it's not too harsh but I do feel very clean afterwards. My skin breaks out less and the break outs are less severe when I'm using this, than when I'm not. For that reason I give it high marks. It doesn't have much of a scent, good or bad. I really like the pump dispenser so I get an even amount without too much fuss (I'm usually washing my face while my 4 year old is in the bath - the less fuss the better!) It's not a sexy product, but it does work well. November 27, 2007, 2:31 pm

  I have always loved the tagline "dermatologist recommended"

  by Shanbug (5 reviews)

  And sure enough this oil free facewash really worked for me. It was gentle and I really felt like I was doing something good for my skin. It felt so clean and I noticed not only did I break out less but the occasional blemish I did get was smaller and not an eruption as usual! Yay! April 22, 2008, 12:59 pm

  Effective but watch what you use it with

  I switched from biore to this stuff and never looked back. I haven't had a flare up in weeks! I use once a day because it is drying. Just be warned about Philosphy's mircodelivery peel pads.

January 31, 2008, 6:57 am I switched from biore to this stuff and never looked back. I haven't had a flare up in weeks! I use once a day because it is drying. Just be warned about Philosphy's mircodelivery peel pads. I'd been using the pads with the biore with no results. I switched to the this cleanser, used the pads, and received a full face chemical burn. These two clearly don't like each other, but since the cleanser worked way better, I stuck with it.

  I love it

  by xoxstarlet (4 reviews)

  The overall quality is amazing it doesn't dry out my face like other products do and it really keeps my skin clean and oil free. The value compared to other products is about what you would expect to pay for a face wash withou the frills (ex scrubbing beads) I love this product and have used it for at least 4 years.

  Neutrengena works

  by SHORTY2774 (5 reviews)

  I've used the product now for a little over a month and it definitely helps to maintain the balance. I used to become so oily by the middle of the day and now my skin feels smooth and soft. I recommend this for anyone with really oily skin. May 5, 2008, 8:41 pm
