Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser, 6.7 Ounce

I used the old formula for years after my doctor specifically recommended it. However, the new formula contains menthol which causes a painful burning sensation, especially on my lips and eyelids when I rinse it off. The new fragrance smells like Raid Ant and Roach Killer.

No responsible doctor would recommend menthol for blemished skin, yet Neutrogena still includes "Dermatologist Recommended" on the label. In fact, topical menthol products such as Bengay contain a warning not to use on damaged skin.

The image showing is not the same as the product received which has a new formula sign on the right corner. By comparing the new and the old ingredients list,the new formula removed Aloe leaf extract,Anthemis Nobilis flower extract,and Matriciaria flower extract.Even though the active ingredient is still 2% salicylic acid, the inactive ingredients has changed a lot. So the smell, texture, and the feel all changed. Honestly, the first time,it smells like insect spray but now I get used to it. The new formula has menthol which makes you feel like cold breezed after use. I neither like it nor hate it. However, I would not buy it again unless it returns to the old formula.

I used the Neutrogena oil free acne scrub throughout my teenage years, and it worked really well. It has a creamy base, so i figured that since this is from the same line, i would get the same product just without the beads. The main ingredients are indeed the same, but the smell is different! I wonder why they don't use the same smell since it's from the same line. I like the scrub scent more, unless they changed the scent of that one too. It has been almost two years since ive used the scrub, so i don't know. The scent of this wash isn't pleasing. They should make it unscented. After all, no scent is the best scent when it comes to skin care. (unless it smells delicious)

Too much menthol is another con. There's menthol in the scrub formula too, but it's not as overwhelming. I think this is what they meant by "new formula results in one day". Menthol is meant to deliver medicine quicker and more effectively, but dudeit's uncomfortable! Lighten up on the menthol. My skin isn't sensitive; it's actually quite strong, but i can imagine how so much menthol can sway many consumers from this otherwise wonderful product. With that being said, i do like the menthol, i just find the amount too overwhelming. Please change it back to the original formula, Neutrogena!

A great thing about this scrub is that it has no dyes! Yay! The scrub has dyes in it to make it orange, which is okay, i guess, but no dyes is best.

Once i rinse this off my face, my face feels silky and soft. I like that it has acne medicine in it without being too overdrying. I love cream cleansers. I will be repurchasing this. Another pro is that it is one of neutrogena's more affordable productsyay again!

I love Neutrogena, and i find that its products are the only thing that helps me control my acne. (st ives works too, but it's too abrasive for daily use). Salicylic acid, Neutrogena, and I are the perfect trio.
