    I bought this for my teenage daughter and her acne cleared up quite well. The salicylic acid is a main ingredient for acne! The price is fantastic too. The smell is a bit to strong but it is what it is.

    This face wash is great especially when I’m experiencing breakouts. It doesn’t have any bad smells and it leaves my skin feeling clean. It doesn’t dry out my skin much and keeps my breakouts under control.

    I have always used Neutrogena products. They’ve always proven to be very effective. A very silky smooth texture is very nicely. Sent it safe ingredients to use on sensitive scan. It comes in nice packaging. The ingredients seem to be very mild for any type of skin. You’ll never go wrong with using any of Neutrogena products whether it’s Eye wipes, facial makeup remover you cannot go wrong.

    I recently started using the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with Salicylic Acid after reading tons of positive reviews, and I have to say—it lives up to the hype. As someone with acne-prone, oily skin, I’m always on the lookout for cleansers that don’t dry me out while still keeping breakouts at bay. This one strikes that balance. It gives a deep clean, removing excess oil and dirt without leaving my skin feeling stripped or tight. The 2% salicylic acid really helps with keeping my breakouts under control, and I noticed a reduction in redness and bumpiness within just a few days. It lathers nicely and has a refreshing, no-frills scent. I’ve paired it with my Black Radiance moisturizer, and together they’re doing wonders for my skin. If you’re dealing with acne or oily skin, I’d definitely recommend giving this wash a try—it’s become a staple in my routine.

    Gentle light scent and foams up nicely. It’s gentle enough to use daily and leaves your skin feeling clean yet not stripped and dry. The pump is nice and turns to seal for travelling which is lovely. It’s a good product for the price point.

    I only used this product last night and this morning and i have red dots all over. I think it’s a reaction to the salicylic acid.

    As someone constantly in search of effective skincare solutions for maturing oily skin, I was excited to try the Neutrogena Oil-Free Facial Cleanser with Salicylic Acid. After using it for some time, I can confidently say that this face wash has worked remarkably well for me. This cleanser is impressively gentle on the skin, making it suitable for daily use without the harsh effects often associated with acne treatments. One of the standout benefits has been its ability to help control excess oil production while ensuring that my skin does not feel stripped or overly dry. In fact, I’ve noticed a balanced, refreshed feeling after each wash. The light fragrance is also a delightful touch—it's subtle yet pleasant, adding to the overall cleansing experience without being overwhelming. If I were to highlight a downside, it would be that the cleanser doesn’t lather as much as I had hoped. While a rich lather often feels luxurious, the effectiveness of this product proves that a lack of foaming does not compromise its quality or performance. The salicylic acid works efficiently to keep my blemishes at bay, reaffirming my decision to continue using it. Given its effectiveness, great price point, and my overall satisfaction, I will undoubtedly be purchasing this cleanser again. I have high hopes that Neutrogena will maintain the quality and formulation I’ve come to love. Overall, I highly recommend this cleanser for anyone with oily, maturing skin looking for a reliable and gentle solution. It's truly a standout product in my skincare regimen!

    I get these free from my job and I love them, I always try to snag an extra pack just because they work so good. The packaging works great and the scent isn’t too bad. The texture is so soft.
