Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash
I've tried numerous soaps, creams, masks, pads and other items in my quest to handle acne. I really, really like the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash, In fact I currently keep 2 bottles of the soap in my bathroom. One is in my shower, to use when I'm taking a shower. The other is on my sink counter, to use for the parts of the day that I am not taking a shower.
The good thing about the Neutrogena is it's very gentle. It makes a gentle lather, it cuts through the grease to make sure any grease and dried-up oil are removed from my face gently. It helps to make sure that there's nothing on my skin to clog up the pores, without hurting or irritating the skin.
If I use this twice a day - every morning and evening - and follow other standard acne prevention tips (changing my pillowcase daily, being gentle when washing, etc), I honestly can keep my acne completely at bay. If I run out of the Neutrogena, the red spots start to come back.
Neutrogena is just over $5 for a 5oz container.
Update: While I used this for many years, I found over time that it would fade the hair around the edge of my face into a lighter color. I finally realized that it was the Neutrogena doing this to my hair. So I no longer use it.
