Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oil Free Acne Cleanser
Not for me
I love the smell of this cleanser, but the product itself did not help the blemishes on my face at all. In fact, it made them worse after a few days! I do use this on my back for the small spots there, and it really helps. (Kinda odd, totally opposite reaction on my face!) Where ever you use it, be sure to moisturize after, because this is a foaming cleanser, it tends to dry out skin easier.
Great cleanser for Oily Skin
I have naturally oily, acne prone skin, and this does a wonderful job of evening out my skin type, and clearing my blemishes. It does not dry out my skin, and I use it daily. I use it with my Clarisionic Mia, and I love it even more with it. I especially love using this in the morning because the fresh scent really wakes you up, and makes you feel great. If you have dry or combination skin(that is more dry) , I would not recommend this because it does have 2% salicylic acid in it, and it will further dry out your skin. But if you've got more towards oily skin like me, I say go for it! This is definitely my Holy Grail of skin Cleansers right now.
I know there's been a lot of talk about this product drying out the skin, but my skin is naturally oily and it does wonders to even it out. I use this product in combination with my Clarisonic Mia and I can't say enough about it. It removes excess oil, the leftover makeup (including waterproof mascara) and it smoothes out the skin! The smell is fruity and pleasant for the most part. It lathers pretty quickly. However, because it is formulated for those prone to acne, the salicylic acid does give your face tingles after use. So, I'd use a gentle toner after this. Personally, I like the tingles because for some reason, that feels clean to me. Haha. Weird, I know. But otherwise, this it's a great product. PS - if you're transitioning to this product, expect a couple-to a few weeks of skin purging. Especially if you've got sensitive skin and prone to breakouts. Sorry. But I promise, if you stick with it, it'll get better! :)
Dries out skin
This product didnt do my skin any justice it dried out my skin and left white spots on my face so it looked ashy it was not worth buying it smelled awful... never again!
Doesn't clear breakouts, drying
I have been using this once a day for about six months now. I find that it dries out my slightly combination skin and makes it feel uncomfortably tight. This alone would've been okay though, as I just put on lotion immediately after use, but I also don't think it helps clear my acne. I still get breakouts mainly on my forehead and occasionally on my cheeks and chin.
This may be the top cleanser for oily skin in Allure’s Best of Beauty 2011, but it's not very healthy!

I LOVE THIS !!!
I think someone below me said the same thing that they had been using the orange stuff forever. Man for me .. like what 15 years? It has always been the best thing for my face i try other things but nothing really gets my acne to clear up the way it does. THEN they came out with grapefruit! It works the same and smells so wonderful.
I use this EVERYDAY.
Must have.
I use this nightly. My dermatologist recommends I use it twice a day but 2% salicylic acid may be too drying for my skin. It's great because it doesn't leave residue and it's excellent at deep cleaning and getting rid of extra makeup and buildup from the day. I have oily skin so it helps to keep my skin pretty matte.

No way..
This cleanser dried up my skin in less than 3 days! It's been about a week that I've been using it, and already my skin is scaly, crusty and peeling off. I practically have to drown my face in moisturizer nowadays, making my skin oily.
Smells Wonderful and Cleans Amazingly Well
I tried this product out for a very long time and it definitely left my face clean and feeling brand new. There was no residue left over and it just smelled fabulous. I repurchased this plenty times after because I was running out so quickly. I have recently switched cleansers to try out the Clean & Clear Finish Mattifying Cleanser for my oily skin but I will be adding Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oily Skin Cleanser back into my beauty cabinet.
