Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Review

Hi there.

2 down, 1 more to go. Hehehe. I've already done the Koijc San and the Nature Republic review. Now I'm going to do a review on this disappointing product that claims to be one of the best cleanser recommended by dermatologist. There you go....

As I my acne started after I used the wrong product, I begin to go online and research for the best cleanser that is suitable for my face. The funny thing is that I didn't research further to see their bad reviews. I just Googled "best cleanser for acne skin" and this Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash official website pop out as one of the top search. So I tell myself ok, I am going to get this. Moreover it is recommended by dermatologist, so why not. The next day, after work I when to JEM Watsons and spend half and hour checking out all the acne cleanser and find that hmm, maybe Neutrogena is actually not bad. So I when ahead and purchase one bottle of it. 

I when back home so excited to try this cleanser. For the first day, everything was alright but it stings abit. The second day onwards, my both cheeks were very itch and my skin was dry. I can't stop scratching. Even at work I tried to control the itchiness but it is just too itch to control. The itchiness died down the next day but my skin was it horrible condition. Not only was it bursting out with acne, it was also rough on the cheeks. Haiz, from bad to worst. I stopped using this product and decided to use my sister's Body Shop Tea Tree Cleanser instead before purchasing anymore cleanser. After using the Tea Tree Cleanser it for afew days, I find that my pimples are being controled and decided the to buy the trial set. Hmm, I'll will do a review on that too. :)

Conclusion

Nope. -.-

I am not gonna repurchase this product again cause of the adverse reaction that happens to my face. I am also not going to recommend this to anybody. I am surprised it is made in Korea cause I know that Korean products are good but this is not the case. However, I also see that there are positive reviews about this product so it really make or breaks you. Maybe I'm allergic to one of their ingredients, which is unlikely but do be careful when you want to try this product k.
