Pros: none for me
Cons: not good for sensitive skin,
The Bottom Line: I would recommend, as Neutrogena makes good products. If you have sensitive skin or unsure of your skin. Test a small area first.

| theresaro's Full Review: Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash |
I have never suffered any acne problems as a child or an adult until about three years ago I developed the once a month acne problem. In search of something to get rid of this I went to my local pharmacy. Knowing that Neutrogena was dermatologist recommended. I purchased Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash and the Neutrogena Deep Pore Treatment
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
Neutrogena Claims
#one dermatologist recommended acne-fighting cleanser
This oil-free formula gently cleanses deep down into pores for clear skin. Unlike ordinary cleansers, it contains Salicylic Acid to get rid of acne you have now and help prevent future breakouts. Special skin soothers help prevent irritation and overdrying. Skin is left clean, residue-free and never oily-from neutogena website.
Active Ingredients
Salicylic Acid 2%
Inactive Ingredients
Purified Water; Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate; Cocamidopropyl Betaine; Sodium C12-15 Pareth-15 Sulfonate; Aloe Extract; Chamomile Extract; Matricaria Extract; Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate; Disodium EDTA; Propylene Glycol; FD&C Yellow No. 5; FD&C Red No. 40; Sodium Chloride; Fragrance
Packaging
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Available Gel, Cream, Foam Cleanser, and Cloths.I bought the 6.0fl.oz pump bottle for 4.99 on sale. It is a clear plastic see through bottle with a white pump and a golden orange color.
Directions
Use twice a day. Wet your face. Apply to your hands, add water and work into a lather. Massage your face gently and rinse thoroughly.
My Experience
Due to my sensitive skin I only used once a day. I pumped out about a dime size of the orange colored liquid onto my hands. Added water and tried to get this into a later as the instructions stated however this is not very lathering. That did not bother me if this was going to get rid of the acne. That is all I cared about. I massaged the light lathered light fragrance product over my face. The smell was actually quite pleasant, The proceeded the rinse cycle.
I would say about five minutes after I did this my skin was itchy I went to look in the mirror and there were blotches of red on my face. Wonderful I thought now not only do I have the big dipper, on my face but now I look like Rudolph?s nose in parts of my face. How attractive. I developed an allergic reaction . The hives started coming. To Shea with the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Washand in the barrel it went.
Overall
This was the beginning and end of the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. I should have done a sample test on a small portion of my face but that was my own stupidy. I know with any product that is going to go on my face I am testing a small area. I would say if not anything I learned a lesson.
My skin is so sensitive I have to be very careful in what I use but how do you know without trying? You don't. So as I stated because of this I will always do a test before applying the whole product on my face.
Thanks for Reading
I hope this helped toward making your purchase
