Neutrogena Acne Stress Control, Power-Clear Scrub, 4.2 Ounce

ran out and dunno where to get more :(

Favorite face wash product! Having a hard time finding in the store, so grateful I can still find it on Amazon. This is the only face wash. I swear by if you have trouble acne, you can’t get rid of.

I prefer the non-scrub version of this, but it's hard to find now, and the scrub version is essentially the same thing with some not-really-exfoliating beads in it. I love salicylic acid for treating breakouts, and 2% is a pretty good concentration, and I find it non-irritating and non-drying in a rinse-off formula. I have dry skin that's prone to hormonal, monthly breakouts, and this wash really helps my skin in staying clear without drying it out or causing irritation (but I'm generally good with skincare acids). I usually put it on when I first get in the shower and then rinse it off after a couple minutes, sort of like a treatment mask. I still need a cleansing balm or oil cleanser to remove makeup, but I always followup with this. It's gentle enough that I can use it daily with no issues. I've also started my nephew on this to treat his teenage acne and shaving irritation, and it's making a noticeable difference (along with a Colleen Rothschild acne spot treatment - the Gentle & Clear one). I think that the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Scrub is one of the best on the market for face wash, and it performs better than more expensive washes I've tried.

I’ve been using this Neutrogena Acne Stress Control scrub daily, and it’s been a game-changer for my skin. It exfoliates without being too harsh, helps calm down breakouts, and even reduces redness. I love that it leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed without drying it out. The cucumber and green tea in it make it feel soothing, which is perfect for stressed skin. Definitely a go-to in my skincare routine!

It worked pretty well. My daughter loves it. Was surprised of how big the container was. It has a good so be scrubbed texture, which feels well on your skin when you’re washing your face. Overall, it is a really good product.

I keep this in the rotation, along with the cream wash from the same line, as a daily reset — a light exfoliating scrub with 2% salicylic acid that doesn’t overdo it. The texture has just enough grit to feel like it’s doing work without wrecking your skin barrier. It’s oil-free, rinses clean, and pairs well with my minimalist skincare approach. I use this in the morning when I’m not using Paula’s Choice BHA, and it holds its own. Helps keep pores clear without drying me out or leaving any greasy residue behind. The 4.2 oz tube is compact enough to travel with, and it’s become part of my weekly rhythm when I need something consistent but not clinical. — Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign
