When I was a teenager and had horrible hormonal cystic acne this did nothing. Now that I'm in my thirties I have more sensitive skin and just occasional breakouts this is nice in the summer. Gentle and doesn't really smell like anything. Cleans well without stripping just don't get it near your eyes. If you have sensitive skin on the oiler side and occasional breakouts this is nice. If you really struggle with acne this might not be strong enough, though I have used it as a gentle acne cleanser when on harsher treatments like retinol. Dermatologists recommend it for those reasons, and my derm recommended it to me. It's a good price and while there are generics I feel they are watery and don't clean and foam as well as the original.

It's a good price and while there are generics I feel they are watery and don't clean and foam as well as the original. I have taken a star off because CeraVe just released a new acne cleanser with the same amount of salicylic acid and it's bigger so a better price. It's too soon to know for sure but I might like it better, I'll update this review and review the CeraVe cleanser in a bit.

On a whim at my local grocery store, I tried the grapefruit one, and now it is my favorite. It adds a little kick that the original one did not...my face seems cleaner and my face was in better shape the first week after using the grapefruit cleanser compared to the original one. This product may dry your skin out like many other reviewers have mentioned. This is most likely because many of the reviewers are following up with benzoil peroxide after washing with this. The salicylic acid and benzoil peroxide combination can be VERY drying and is most definitely not for everyone. My dermatologist recommended this cleanser to me paired with Duac topical gel (contains benzoil peroxide) because of my oily skin. My skin can withstand being dried out a little.

My dermatologist recommended this cleanser to me paired with Duac topical gel (contains benzoil peroxide) because of my oily skin. My skin can withstand being dried out a little. You have to experiment with the cleanser and find the perfect amount of product to use along with a daily moisturizer. I personally use about a quarter pump. If you use this product correctly (i.e. NOT using it paired with benzoil peroxide if you have dry skin) it can be a very effective cleanser. I am deducting a star because there is a flaw with the bottle design. By the time I am nearly out of the cleanser, it is very watery and is not the same consistency as an unopened bottle. I tend to throw the product out when it gets like this and grab a new bottle. Because of this, I never buy the value size because that would result in me throwing away more product.

I've been using this product for years and let me tell you it has never let me down . When I first started using it in 2019 I had bad acne and this product magically cleared it in as little as a week ! The only downfall is that if you combine it with other skincare it can dry out your skin but other than that it's about perfect, even for kids ! My little cousin (8) uses this face wash and it doesnt mess with her natural skin and , my mom (43) uses it every morning and night ! Perfect for all ages would definitely recommend ! It's the only skincare product you need and the only one I currently use , it just works that well , plus , neutrogena is pretty trend right about now so it wont be "weird" or "gross" to use ! Great product for all ages and skin types but would ... MoreI've been using this product for years and let me tell you it has never let me down .

Great product for all ages and skin types but would recommend more towards the people with thicker rougher skin , that way your skin can handle all of the salicylic acid! I just live this product and have been using it for god knows how long and its easily available just about anywhere ! It's cheap and easy ! Would definitely recommend ! I just would've liked to know that it can dry out skin if you use it too often at first , you have to let your skin sink into it !

Love this product! So many beauty/health products out there for facial cleansing leave your skin feeling dried out, or with a greasy sticky residue. When I washed my face in the morning with this, my skin felt clean and moisturized without any after yuckiness that you get with cheaper brands. I have been looking for a skin cleanser for years that works suit my needs but haven't been lucky before. All my life I have had acne proned, oily and dry skin. It's really difficult as an adult to be seen with pimples on your face and it's very embarrassing to say the least. I never tried it before because I just thought it was too simple or maybe too expensive to try something that may or may not work for my problematic skin issues. After the first time I used it, I noticed a ... MoreLove this product!

I never tried it before because I just thought it was too simple or maybe too expensive to try something that may or may not work for my problematic skin issues. After the first time I used it, I noticed a difference and it was so nice to finally have my face feel really cleansed! I don't have to use it every day and it starts to eliminate the dirt and grime that accumulates on my face daily. After that first time experimenting with a new product, it made me a believer in the Neutrogena brand for life. I believe that Neutrogena is a wonderful company and definitely worth the extra money they charge for their products. What I also really like about Neutrogena is their packaging and advertising are simple yet elegant, classy yet modern for all ages and races and sex. They have been around for as long as I can remember and I believe they hold the market on sustainability with consumers.

NEUTROGENA® Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid truly impressed me. As someone with acne-prone skin, this cleanser worked wonders. The 2% salicylic acid formula effectively reduced breakouts and even prevented future blemishes. I loved how it deeply cleansed my skin without causing dryness or irritation. The non-comedogenic formula was a game-changer, as it didn't clog my pores or worsen my acne. The mild and refreshing scent, along with the gel-like texture, made my skincare routine enjoyable. With regular use, I noticed significant improvements in my skin's texture and fewer breakouts. While marketed for oily skin, it can work for other skin types with proper moisturization.

Highly recommended

Neutrogena Salicylic Wash is a reliable solution for anyone who is struggling with impurities on their skin. What sets it apart from many other face washes is that it effectively removes dirt, oil, and makeup without drying out your skin. This makes it a great option for those who have oily or combination skin that tends to break out easily.I personally have mature skin that is still prone to breakouts, and I can attest that this face wash has been a game-changer for me. It's gentle enough to use daily, and I don't experience any tightness or irritation after using it. One thing to keep in mind is that while it works well at keeping impurities at bay, it doesn't necessarily prevent breakouts from happening altogether. However, with consistent use, I have seen a ... MoreNeutrogena Salicylic Wash is a reliable solution for anyone who is struggling with impurities on their skin.

If you Oily and Acne prone skin, this is for you!!

I really love how clean and soft my face feels after I do this. I did not buy this with the intention of necessarily clearing any acne, as I use a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide face wash at night that keeps my skin relatively clear. I bought this for the purpose of lightening up some dark spots that I have accrued over the years, and for shrinking some of the pores that I have to the left and right of my nose area, and also for a few blackheads on my nose as well. I was also hoping it would give me a bit better of a healthier glow as well as a year straight of 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash had my face looking clear, but a bit on the dull side. Keeping my purpose of buying this face wash in mind, it has exceeded all expectations, it immediately reduced the size of my pores ... MoreI really love how clean and soft my face feels after I do this.

Keeping my purpose of buying this face wash in mind, it has exceeded all expectations, it immediately reduced the size of my pores to almost non-existent and cleaned out the blackheads on my nose and gave me a healthier glow that I was yearning for. This is a must have in my skin care routine. For anyone struggling with the things I described above, I wholeheartedly recommend this, as it's price efficient and extremely effective at avoiding a pimple before it comes in as well which is a bonus. When I see a tiny red pimple coming in and use this within an hour or two it's a miniscule barely noticeable whitehead.-Side note, I have oily and acne prone skin.

Very Not satisfied! Caused me bad breakouts 😔

I do not know what to say! The bottle reads “ break the breakout cycle” but what this face wash actually does is INITIATE THE BREAKOUT CYCLE! Unbelievable!I have oily acne prone dark skin. I have managed to maintain a healthy skin and minimal breakouts by including Tretinoin to my skin care routine. I have been using Himalaya neem face wash for ages and Nivea jojoba oil vitamin E lotion. I read about salicylic acid and it’s benefits for acne prone skin and hyperpigmentation, and thought of giving this product a go.Before switching to this product, I stopped using the Tretinoin. At first, my skin was irritated after using this face wash. My face became very very itchy and my skin had some kind of a fine and textured rash that one can see and feel. I figured ... MoreI do not know what to say! The bottle reads “ break the breakout cycle” but what this face wash actually does is INITIATE THE BREAKOUT CYCLE!

At first, my skin was irritated after using this face wash. My face became very very itchy and my skin had some kind of a fine and textured rash that one can see and feel. I figured that’s normal since it’s my first time applying salicylic acid on my skin. I stopped for a couple of days and then resumed using this product. All was good after that until I started breaking out badly all over my chin and cheeks even though I use this face wash only once a day and I consistently moisturise afterwards. I have not changed a thing in my routine except for the face wash. It seems to me that this product blocks pores somehow instead of clearing and cleaning them! I was very disappointed! I stopped using it for sure and went back to my original routine. Neutrogena sorry but never trying any of your products!!!
