I’ve used Neutrogena skin products for years, and been very pleased with them. The “Acne Stress Control” line (foaming wash, 3-in-1 toner and 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treament), however, contains a very distinct and strong perfume that made it unusable for me. The scent made me slightly nauseated, and was strong enough that my boyfriend commented on it (and not in a positive way).

For the brief period of time I used it (2 weeks), these products didn’t seem to work any better than products with similar active ingredients in other Neutrogena lines.

guys, this works. make sure you’re not allergic to it first before you complain. Actually, I’m quite thankful that finally the strength of these acne products are starting to show some signs of enlightenment. I bought this elsewhere for $6 something. It’s cheap and works just fine. just make sure you are using this for 2-3 weeks. your face will clear up. Severe acne ppl, use Benzoyl peroxide product. Salicylic products are good for mild to moderate acne prone. if you’re face is too dry after which often will be, then use an oilfree moisterizer or a hydrating lotion.

I’m 24 and have been dealing with mild acne since my teens. I saw an ad for this product in a magazine and decided to give it a shot. My family and friends have always recommended me many products, so believe me, I’ve been around the block and tried many things, even seen a dermatologist. My main goal was to reduce the redness (staining) on my face and get rid of the blackheads around my nose, I also get breakouts around my chin area frequently. Within two weeks of using this I noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. It’s smooth, and is evenly toned. It’s reduced nearly all the redness I’ve been looking at for YEARS. The blackheads on my nose are nearly all gone, and for the first week I had to deal with a few breakouts because I could see this product was cleaning deep down in my pores and bringing all that “gunk” up to the surface. My face looks great! This product has a mild cucumber scent which I love and HAS NOT dried my face out in the least. I’m 110% happy and completely blown away to find something that has worked for less than $10, after the hundreds I’ve spent on other products! Thank you!!!

This really is a great product. I’m 36 have always had acne–not horrible, but I pretty much always have a few. As I’ve gotten older I esp. have problems with blackheads on my chin. Could NOT get rid of them, and everything I tried was too dry on my skin. This product helps the blackheads and does not leave my skin nasty and flaky.

Also, I have a lot of scars on my chin (not acne ones, regular ones from an accident), and this product doesn’t dry them out either which, if you have any scars, you will know is a plus.

BUT…I don’t care for the scent much–it smells fake and sicky-sweet. If they made this in an unscented or fresher scent, I’d give it 5 stars!

I have been using this product for a while and I find that it’s the only thing that helps to control minor acne. It doesn’t stop my major acne episodes from occurring due to stress, hormones, etc. But overall, it really helps fade the acne scars and marks quickly. I’ve been using some form of this product from Neutrogena since college. It’s a part of my daily regimen, and not routinely available at my local pharmacy.
