Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash and Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask?

Question

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if using both Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash everyday and using Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask as a mask about 2 times a week is good? Or is it just a bad combination?

If so, could you tell me a good combination to use using Neutrogena products?

My skin's fairly normal but sometimes in the summertime my face has little bumps and is dry.

Answer 1

I would just use the acne wash...i have been using for the past two weeks, and it really works! Don't do a combination, just the acne wash twice a day. :)

Answer 2

I don't think that you should use the acne wash everyday if you don't have an actual acne problem. I would just suggest the Neutrogena Deep Clean daily beacuse it won't cause drying of the skin and make sure you follow up with a moisturizer. As far as the Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/ Mask should not be to bad if only used twice a week but you may not find it necessary if you use the Deep Clean on a daily basis.

Answer 3

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Answer 4

I use the Neutrogena oil free wash and the pore cleanser mask and it works well for me. I use also their sun screen SPF 30!

Answer 5

I just started to use the cleanser/mask you mentioned and I have only used it 2x (not in one day or in a row even) but I notice a difference already. maybe just stick to that.

Answer 6

Those work fine together. I use them both 2 times a week and my skin is clear soft everything you would want it to be. Keep using them if you see results if not try something else.

Answer 7

no this is good and you can use the wash each day if you don't have a lot of acne...use a good moisturizer to counter they drying effects of the other products you are using...

NOTE…I HAVE WRITTEN THIS LONG ANSWER TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS RELATING TO BECAUSE THEY COME UP SO OFTEN: OILY SKIN ACNE FACIAL LIGHTENING DEALING WITH ACNE SCARRING DEALING WITH STRETCH MARKS IMPROVING SKIN TONE PIMPLES BLACKHEADS EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT INGROWING HAIRS BODY ACNE …THE INFO’S BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE. I’M 36 NOW SO I’VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES FOR QUITE A WHILE AND THOUGH MUCH OF THIS ANSWER MAY BE IRRELEVANT, I HOPE THERE'LL BE SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP YOU! GOOD LUCK!!! RECOMMENDED SKIN CARE…I use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. I’ve tried various ‘oil free’/’salicylic acid’ moisturisers but the best I’ve found is the clean and clear on…I found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin. EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!...The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn't make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel. HORMONAL SPOTS…Any female with spots I'd recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it's hormonal that can sort everything out within weeks…though it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill. FACIAL ACNE: AVOID…Don't use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil...just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs I’ve tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems. I’ve also had problems with those ‘facial wipes’ made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because they’re too drying and when the top layer’s too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems! Some say chocolate doesn’t affect it…it does for me and I don’t know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse. HAIR PRODUCTS…Be careful what products you use in your hair if it's long - certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums. INGROWING HAIRS…For men or women…if you have oily skin, these are more likely. For men…use a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that don’t have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too – so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later. For women…waxing seems to cause the main problem – we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creams…to avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves – that way, you can use any kind of shower gel. NUTRITION…I recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex – those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow. OLD WIVES TALE??...It's an 'old wives tale' type remedy - but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too...kinda like honey and lemon X HYDRATION….Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt! DEALING WITH SCARRING…there’s an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called ‘re-finish’ by L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it's own moisturiser which I don't use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone. If you get your skin relatively under control, try using '21 days Fade Cream' (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. It’s a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative! Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefit’s Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain – this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesn’t smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesn’t aggravate the skin or cause breakouts. LI
