I actually don't use this as a face wash, but to wash another area before and after I get a brazilian wax. This was a tip from my esthetician and it really helps me to not get ingrowns. Love it!

Hmmm. A lot of people don't like this product, mainly because they say that it is drying. However, I have super oily skin and I use this 1x per day at night before I go to bed and I have had...

DO NOT BUY THIS. If you don't have acne, this will dry you out, it's not for you. If you have acne, this will make you have more acne, it's not for you. Who is this for?

made me break out so badly in high school. I think it lead to a series of horrible skin reactions like flaky skin, more pimples, ughh...so nasty.

I wanted to like this product so bad. However, I should have known better, since the overall rating is pretty bad. This product did not dry out my oily skin, but it did make me breakout like...

Do not recommend this for people who do not have at least moderate acne. It made me break out really badly and I suspect it was due to the harshness of the product. A bit disappointing after...

YUCK, dried me out even when I am having an oily day. Didn't clear up breakouts, irritating. For that matter, there hasn't been a single neutrogena item I've ever liked! So just assume yuck all...

This is a great cleanser for my combination skin in the summer months. It's very foamy and does a great job of clearing the excess oil off my skin. It's too drying for winter use though. A little...

I had an awful experience with this product. It smells awful and left my skin SO dry. It's really harsh, and overpriced. I would not recomend this product!

This was a horrible product. I believe it made me break out even more, and it definitely dried my skin out terribly. Will definitely not repurchase.

I tried this product about 2 years ago, when I was quite clueless about skincare. This stuff dries your skin out like MAD, and it makes your face so dry it itches and feels like its going to crack!...

Eh. It absorbs oil. My derm recommended this to me for my acne-prone, oily face. The smell is a bit weird and it didn't really do anything for my face.
