Neutrogena Clear & Defend Face Wash (1x 200ml), Oil-Free Facial Cleanser for Spot-Prone Skin, Facial Wash with Purifying 2% Salicylic Acid to Help Prevent Breakouts for Smoother, Clearer Skin

Very good. It helps stop my breakouts and smells good. It is gentle enough to actually be able to use it twice a day. A lot of these "gentle" cleansers really dry out my skin but this has been very good

Neutrogena have really delivered with this product. It removes all oil from the pores of the skin, even in really troublesome areas. Twice daily wash and the spots are no longer. Had really oily zones after quitting smoking. This was the only product to work. It can leavethe skin extremely dry after, but that is what moisturiser is for. I have been using this for a full year now and it has allowed me to go to work feeling normal again.

I feel like this make a difference but I'm not really sure thh

Good face wash ghough not seeinv the effect

Reviewed May 2024:I've written this review after using this product for a couple of months, for me its working really well.I do not have (nor ever had) acne. I have oily skin and even at the age of 55 I get occasional spots especially in my scalp. When I was younger I used to scrub myself with soap to make my skin as oil free and dry as possible, which probably made things more oily in the longer term.Years ago, a friend who is (was) a beautician gave me some advice about skin care, including never to use soap on my face and a list of products I should use. Since then, my go to has been the Tea Tree range from the Bodyshop, and this has served me reasonably well.I was aware of products with Salicylic Acid as being helpful for oily skin, and when I saw this on special I decided to give it a try.I shower twice a day, and that means I wash my face and head (I'm balding on top) twice a day.I after a couple of days, I did notice my face and head felt a little 'dry', but I did not have any reactions.But after a week or so, my skin seemed to be less oily, and I was not getting any spots on my scalp, not a single one.I did have a couple of weeks away and I took my regular bottle of tea tree face wash (its in my travel kit), I can't say if I my skin was more or less oily (different environment, AC hotel rooms, different food, etc), but I did have a few spots appear.Back to the Neutrogena and cleared up, so for me it definitely seems to be working.I do have a few bottles of the tea tree left, and I will use it up, but my intention is that this Neutrogena will be my go to product for the future.

made me who i am today beautiful product

A bit harsh and has a strong orange scent to it. Dried out the skin on my face but didn't improve blemishes so wasn't effective for me, but this may be my skin type. It's a good price so was worth a try.

Gentle on my skin. No skin reactions whatsoever.
