    Update: so I found out if you use this wash on your feet and underarms, it cuts down on b.o. This is life changing! You can find generic versions of the oil free acne wash. I even saw the generic...

    I am really loving this wash. I do not have to use a makeup removing cloth before using this. It does a really good job of cleaning out your pores. Just one swipe of a toner/micellar water after...

    I wanted this to work so badly. I first diluted it with neutrogena’s foaming cleanser to slowly accomodate my skin to it. After a few uses, there was no effect on my skin so I decided to try it...

    I went through 2 bottles of this before writing a review. In my experience it’s okay at reducing acne but was also over drying in my case, even with the oily combination acne prone skin that I have.

    I bought this for the 2% salicylic acid content. Since it was on sale I decided to try this rather than re-purchasing the Neutrogena body clear body wash, which is my usual go-to salicylic soap. I...

    I feel like it's very overdying to the point where your face is tight to talk. I'm not sure how the aloe comes in for that matter.. About 2 hours later and throughout the day after using the...

    This product is way over hyped. I bought to use for body acne because it was cheap and I thought it would help. The texture is a gel consistency, but its very hard to spread around, it kind of just...

    I read the other reviews and I absolutely agree with them. It does nothing to clear breakouts or blemishes and makes skin super dry and flaky. I'd rather use Neutrogena pink grapefruit acne scrub.

    I don't know. I used it several times but always ends with my skin getting dry. I feel my face getting so tight and dry. I need to apply some moisturizer after that. Really I won't purchase it again.
