Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Acne Face Scrub

Overview

This 6.7 oz Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash uses 2 percent salicylic acid and MicroClear technology in a foaming pink grapefruit scrub built to clear breakouts and blackheads without stripping oil-free, acne-prone skin.

It sits in Neutrogena's oil-free acne line, where salicylic acid does the actual acne work while pink grapefruit extract and vitamin C are added mainly for scent and a brightening feel rather than acne treatment. The foaming, oil-free base is meant to avoid the greasy residue that can aggravate breakout-prone skin.

• 6.7 oz oil-free foaming scrub
• 2% salicylic acid acne medicine
• MicroClear technology
• Pink grapefruit extract and vitamin C

Who it's for

Works well for teens and adults managing ongoing mild to moderate acne and blackheads who want one wash to handle cleansing, exfoliation and treatment together. Less necessary for anyone with clear skin who just wants a basic exfoliating cleanser.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Salicylic acid at 2 percent is the primary acne-fighting ingredient, and MicroClear technology is meant to carry it into pores while the exfoliating granules in the foaming base remove dead surface skin, working together to reduce breakouts over repeated daily use.
