A Classic Cleanser
This product has been around forever...and I'm sure there's a reason. It's a fairly mild cleanser, leaving skin soft. It doesn't strip skin of moisture or dry it out. I have extremely sensitive skin, and while I didn't notice that this cleanser really gave me any benefit, I was relieved to see that it didn't mess it up or irritate it either. I did not find that it gave me any breakout curing or pr...read moreeventative effects, though, so if you're using this to treat problem skin, you will likely end up very disappointed. At least the price is low. I would say that this product is just average, at the absolute best.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 6 people said helpful

Am switching back to this product!
I used this product when I was younger and had terrible acne and VERY oily skin and it didn't seem to do much. Well the problem isn't the cleanser, it's the acne--I've tried a gazillion cleansers and no cleanser alone will get rid of my acne. I need pills, topical creams, toner AND a good cleanser! (A cleanser is only on your face a little while, so to get rid of severe and persistant acne, you'll...read more probably need topical creams too, which I didn't realize how bad the acne was until later on). But this cleanser is GREAT as a PART of an acne/oily skin skincare regimen (NOT for people who have an occasional zit or sensitive skin). It definitely cleanses, isn't too harsh or too creamy for my skin type (very oily, severe acne, not sensitive), and is a good value. After trying many other cleansers, I'm switching back to Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 10 people said helpful

Not My Favorite...
I used the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash for a long time and found my skin drying out. I have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin and this made my oily spots more oily and my dry spots got really, really dry. I had to switch to Proactiv at 33 years old for my adult acne issues!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 12 people said helpful
