Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

Agree with everyone else here !! My face has been super itchy and burnt, didn’t realise it was Neutrogena Oil free acne wash until tonight when I used it on my eyes and now they are swollen. Can’t believe that it’s a recurring experience. I used it 3 days ago and was confused to why my face was itchy and thought it was some new face pads. Show details

Only use it what the product has written on it – I've been using deep clean facial cleanser for many years I always buy online, so when I clicked on what I thought was it, when it was delivered I noticed that it was Neutrogena ache face wash, the wash i always buy has noe got a different look thst i didn't realis. So I don't have any ache at all but I decided to use it. Within 3 days my face was… Read more

burning after I removed my make-up, I had swelling under my eyes under my nose is peeling,and my throat had tiny bumps all over it.Its only been 2 days since I stopped using this product,but my face is still feeling very sensitive.

Great for stubborn hormonal acne! – I have been struggling with hormonal acne for a long time, and finally decided to give this product ago. So far it has worked wonders!! Not even Benzoyl peroxide was helping my skin (I was still getting 3-5 pustules everyday). Yes the product is very drying - but using it just once a day paired with some great aftercare (hyaluronic acid plus a… Read more

good moisturiser) and my skin has not looked this good in a looong time. I used benzoyl peroxide once afterwards and it did burn. So I stopped the benzoyl and now it’s fine. But now after regular use for just a few weeks, I don’t need any other acne products. In fact I barely need concealer anymore! So thankful.

Takes time – Not sure on all the bad reviews but i have been using this cleanser for around 2 weeks now. It is very thick and only use 1 pump to cleanse my face 2 times a day. Week one my face did feel dry and tight but after applying moisteriser this went away. Also in week one i had all these smaller pimples come up over night. After the first week my… Read more

skins texture has changed for the better. My face isnt dry after using like before and my cingested pores seem to of cleared up. My face itself actualy looks supple and healthy. During the day i do wear alot of sunscreen to protect my skin from the sun. All in all really good product

Horrible – Extremely horrible! Used it twice and ended up with mild burn, rashes, a lot of tiny white bumps, itchiness all over cheeks. Cannot look at myself in the mirror. Extremely dried my skin after use. This product must be discontinued. Show details

Face feels like it’s on fire – Used two consecutive nights woke up the next morning face was red extremely hot and sore like a sun burn from hell it was covered bumps that felt like sand paper and just felt raw and incredibly sore days later and it’s still causing pain and discomfort. Show details

Intense allergic reaction – I purchased this because I have some mild acne and looking for a bit of a boost from the salicylic acid/vitamin c treatment I’ve been using. 2 days after using my eyes swelled up, mildly itchy and red. I’ve never had my eyes swell up after using a product. This is more than just a ‘sensitive skin’ reaction, this is a full blown allergic reaction. Avoid this product!! Show details

Be very careful – I purchased this and after using it twice I’ve noticed my face started to be very itchy and a rash like started to form leaving it red and bumpy. I don’t have sensitive skin and have used many other face wash without any problems. I never thought a face wash would cause such a terrible reaction. Please be very careful using this! Show details

Chemical burns that are so painful – This face wash literally burned my face and made it so swollen and painful. I have never ever experienced such awful side effects from any skincare products in my entire life. Please do not buy, i am so embarrassed of my face and hope it goes back to the way it was. It's been a horrible 3 days! Show details

Avoid!!!! – 2 days after 1 use, red dry patches appeared around both my eyes, mouth and nose. The skin is sooo sore and stings constantly. Please avoid this product!!!! Show details

0 rating – Skin swelling and burning around eyes. This stuff is dangerous. Get it off shelves. Show details

Wish I read the reviews. Day 3 of eye swelling and itchy inflames scaly skin after using this wash – I bought this after looking for an oil free cleanser. It felt fine after the first couple of use. By day 2 of using it, I noticed my eyelids becoming very dry and scaly, similar to when I used Vitamin C and accidently got some on my eyelids. By day 3, I woke up with swollen eyes, swollen face and my entire face has turned scaly and it is so itchy.… Read more

I am now day 3 into the swollen eyes and scaly itchy skin. I have started steroid cream to help but I have never had such a bad allergic reaction to a skincare product. I agree with other reviewers. With this many people reacting, why is it still on the market.

Terrible! – Got severe allergic reaction on my face and neck. My whole face is dry and red patches all over. My eye also got swollen. My face is so much irritated even after 12 hours of last use. I wish this is taken off the shelves ASAP and more people are aware of it soon. Show details

DO NOT BUY!!! – I've never had a skin reaction to a face product. I used the oil free fash wash and after 2 used I noticed when I was drying my face, my forehead started to itch, then the rest of my face. I got these rash like bumps all over my face. The last couple days my lower brow/ upper eye lids have been swollen and around my mouth is really bumpy as well… Read more

as my forehead. I decided to Google the reviews and couldn't believe the amount of people that have had a bad reaction from this!!! Needs to be taken off the shelves!!!! Like wow ...

should be banned – used 3 times to wash face (remove makeup & general face wash for a few pimples) as I had used another product before all over my face with absolutely no reaction but ran out and decided to try this one. 1st day eyes felt hot and slightly red, 2nd day they became itchy, red, hot, 3rd day woke up, eyes were nearly swollen shut and red, very itchy,… Read more

fluid filled bags around whole eye, bumpy rash all over face as well, trying cold compress to reduce swelling, might have to go to doctor, as getting worried now as I have not had a reaction like this ever. This product should come with a warning, now having read all the negative reviews, better still it should be banned. Neutrogena should really review the ingredients list as there is something really bad in it.

Poisonous – I don’t know how this product is the shelves after all the reviews. This product put me in hospital. Do not recommend at all. Show details

Do not use as can cause severe skin reaction – My daughter used this product and within a week suffered from severe reaction, swollen eyes, red inflamed skin and peeling.

My skin is really red with tiny bumps on my cheek, my left eye was swollen for about a day. My skin feels really itchy and burns when I touch it. At first I didn’t think of it being the product until I googled it and found the exact same happened to… Read more

many other people. Stopped using it immediately. Now hoping my skin will go back to normal quickly. Never will I purchase a Neutrogena product again!

Terrible product left my skin feeling like leather – This was terrible. I used the product and so did my daughter. The next day our skin was flaky and we had small tiny bumps all over our skin. The sides of my nose peeled. The small bumps became soo itchy, the itchiness was all over my neck down to my collarbone. I had red bumps rash like all over my face for days and days. It made my skin age like 10 years so disappointing and scary! I really wish they would remove this product from shelves! Show details

Do not buy – I tried it after I bought the product. The next day my face is dry and itchy. Even taking antihistamines did not work. I do not know what will I do now. I do not want to go out because the dryness covers my whole face even the surroundings of my nose and mouth are so painful. Show details
