Review: Great everyday face wash for spot-prone skin - I’ve been using the Neutrogena Clear & Defend Face Wash (200ml) from Neutrogena for a while now, and it’s been very effective for keeping my skin clear and balanced. It cleans deeply without making my face feel tight or overly dry, which is important for daily use. The formula is oil-free and lightweight, and it rinses off easily without leaving any residue. With regular use, I’ve noticed fewer breakouts and my skin looks calmer and less oily, especially around the T-zone. It’s gentle enough to use every day but still does a good job clearing dirt, oil, and impurities. A little goes a long way, and the 200ml bottle lasts quite a while. It also has a clean, fresh feel without being too harsh or heavily scented. Pros Helps reduce spots and excess oil Gentle enough for daily use Oil-free and non-greasy Leaves skin feeling clean and fresh Good value and long-lasting Cons May be slightly drying for very sensitive skin Not a miracle cure for severe acne Verdict: A reliable daily cleanser that helps keep spot-prone skin under control without over-drying. Great for maintaining clear, balanced skin — would buy again.
Review: Value for your money! Be aware of Dryness! - Ordered the Neutrogena Clear and defend Facial wash! On delivery the item was sealed in plastic bag to avoid spillages through transport. On arrival I was impressed with size of product especially for the price! I have seen other online retailers selling this product for more money, so I had to try it when I saw the price! Iwas looking for a daily face wash throughout this covid 19 period as shops are a no go for me! -I was also happy to read on the back of the bottle that this face wash includes Salicylic acid. From previous experience I have enjoyed using other products for spots/acne with this ingredient. It works well for me! On first use I was impressed with smell of the product; It is a light sweet citrus scent, not over powering. I did notice one pump was enough for my whole face and décolletage area so I will be changing my subscription order to every 2-3 months as I know I will not use the whole bottle in one month! After my first use I can confirm that my skin did look smoother, cleaner and I did feel fresh and clean. However I do want to advise after around ten minutes of washing and drying off my face my spots, skin tone/ texture and redness were the same. I could not notice a difference. Another factor to highlight is my skin did feel very dry after use so be aware if you have dry/ acne prone skin maybe not the best product for you! Although I would recommend to use a toner & moisturiser after use as this may help the dryness. Also I was planning to use as a daily wash but I will not do this as my skin was dry after using. I also was using this as a filler item as I cannot normally use the shops/retailers I normally do in person. I may shop around after a while of using this or keep a bottle around for when I have a acne break out. The product is also in sell by date for 12 months so you can just buy a bottle and hide it for a ‘spotty day’. I would recommend this product if your skin can take dryness, probably best suited to very oily skin. Given 5 star because it did the job I needed through the covid situation so Thankyou! Appreciated purchase.
