Overview
Salicylic acid, glycolic acid and polyhydroxy acids work together in this Neutrogena gel face wash, aimed at texture and stubborn acne. It lathers and rinses off like a standard cleanser.
Three exfoliating acids in a wash-off gel give a daily acne routine a single product to use, and the fragrance-free formula avoids added scent. The limitation is a skin type listed as normal only and the strength of three acids on sensitive skin.
Who it's for
Normal skin that deals with blemishes and uneven texture. People who find exfoliating acids irritating, or who want a basic gentle cleanser, should look at milder washes.
Pros and cons
- Salicylic and glycolic acid combined
- Polyhydroxy acids added

- Paraben and phthalate free
- Skin type lists normal only

- Directions for use not listed
Performance notes
Salicylic acid works inside the pore, glycolic acid works on the surface, and polyhydroxy acids add milder exfoliation. Because it is a cleanser, contact time is short, so the effect builds with regular daily use.
