First off, I must admit that it DID work for me for a little while. I am under a lot of stress at school and at home, so I felt my acne was probably due to stress. At first it cleared my acne just fine, it wasn't a miracle treatment or anything since I always had at least ONE pimple, but it was better than the products I'd tried before. Plus, it had a nice scent and gentle feel on the skin- it didn't dry out my skin like a lot of acne treatments.
However, after a while, my acne started resurfacing and it didn't seem to be helping anymore. I don't blame this entirely on the product, as I've seen it work for many people. My skin seems to be the type to fall victim to a product and let the acne disappear for a while, then once it's used to it, the acne comes back in full-force!
This works better with a good morning routine that includes the other oil-free acne care line products by neutrogena.
This worked okay, I did not see a difference using this. It smelt nice though. It was a product that i would just use and try to get rid of although i did not see any effects.
It has a nice subtle scent which is what I enjoy most about it. I also like that its a gel base so the application feels lighter when applied. Its definitely moisturizing and didn't feel thick like regular face creams but the clearing of acne just isn't quick enough for me which what its main focus is. I have the occasional hormonal break outs but I would not purchase this again for that reason.
I recently cut my hair and got blunt bangs. And after awhile I noticed my forehead breaking out. Ahhh! So I tried to use my moms Proactiv (thinking it would work..because so many people said reat things about it) for a week. But it didnt help AT ALL! So Then I went out to the local drugstore and got the Neutrogena Acne Stress Control and used it for three days and noticed it was clearing up ! Yay. I love this product now. =]
I found this 2% salicylic acid gel to be very effective, lightweight and non-irritating. It only takes a small amount to cover the entire face, so one tube lasts longer than I'd expected. It doesn't irritate my skin at all, but it's strong enough to keep my skin smooth. I don't usually have a problem with acne, but it gets rid of clogged pores, lines, and rough patches really well. The greatest difference is seen over time, with regular use, but I also can see and feel a difference after just one night when I haven't used it in a while.
I bought this to accompany the foam cleanser (sorry, I got the name wrong, but you get it). I actually love the idea of the treatment but again, it didn't work for me personally. I loved that it was really light weight and that it made my skin feel smooth (cheeks and mouth area), but again it didn't work for me at all.
That being said, it almost did everything it says: didn't clog my pores, absorbs quickly, softens skin, it also calmed my skin down as well after washing. Every so often my skin gets irritated by some cleansers, and it was nice to have that aspect.
