Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing product Neutrogena Visibly clear Spot proofing Daily Wash it's amazing and rewards your skin from day one. I am one to have a couple of spots and dry skin, however after using Neutrogena Visibly clear Spot proofing Daily Wash Once I could feel the difference in my skin and the spots were getting dry, my skin started feeling softer. The best thing is after a week of using Neutrogena Visibly clear Spot proofing Daily Wash twice a day the spots didn't come back and my skin feels refreshed, radiant and beautifully clean. Would totally recommend to anyone specially people with trouble skin. This is definitely a keeper for my facial daily wash.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Neutrogena Spot Proofing Daily Wash I love it this product has made my skin so soft and smooth and let's not forget spot free.it smells lush too and after been a little scared to try it due to my sensitive skin it was all worth it and all those fears are now great I couldn't recommend this product enough if your looking for a daily wash that will make your skin feel smooth and not have that horrible soapy smell this is perfect it's smells lovely and feels lovely even after washing it off I will definitely be purchasing from my local supermarket and would tell anyone who's after this kind of product to jist give it a try it's really worth it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Looking and feeling smooth First impression with packaging were good. Nothing fancy and gives you all the info you need on the front. Simple designs like this are always a winner with me. I was excited to try this although slightly dubious i might be left with tight feeling skin but it didnt disappoint. It foams up nicely and i could feel with my fingers tips the grease and dirt being lifted. After rinsing my skin felt lovely and soft with out drying it out (which was a concern due to the little knowledge i had on Acids). I have been using this for 2 weeks now and i dare say my facial marks look slightly improved and my skin texture is the best its been in years

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best iv used so far! I am so impressed with the neutrogena visibly clear spot proofing daily wash. I have only been using it just over 5 days and I can already tell the difference to my skin especially my forehead where I suffered from under the skin spots. Nothing improved them until I started using this wash and it's been less than a week so I can't wait to see the results in another week!! I also suffer from dry skin and normally have to use a moisturiser after washing my face but I noticed how soft my skin feels after using this product and I haven't needed moisturiser. My skin feels great!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pretty decent! I had anticipated this wash to be a little too harsh for my dry skin as it contains salicylic acid which is great for spots but not so great for people with dry skin. I was also sceptical as the instructions said to use twice a day: thus I assumed would be far too much for me. I was very pleasantly surprised! The wash is nice and gentle and not at all drying. Your skin is left feeling super smooth and very clean, perfect for avoiding blemishes. I don't have particularly blemish prone skin unless it's hormonal so I didn't notice a huge difference in terms of frequency of spots but I really loved the way it left my skin feeling and looking; soft and fresh.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use and smells amazing! I found this product to be easy to use, and it smelt really good on first squuezing the pump on the bottle. It lathered really well on my skin and didn't cause the irritating feeling that I often find with facial washes. Easy to rinse and my skin felt clean and refreshed. The only issue O found was that my skin felt quite dry and stretched for the first few days, and so a good gentle, simple and clean mousturisr is needed to combat that. I had a few spots for the first few days, I guess as my skin got used to the product and the impuritie came out of my skin, but I always had the clean and refreshed feeling after every wash!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A new favourite! I have tried so many face washes in the past few years as I've always had acne prone skin and I've found it quite hard to find one that agrees with my skin and doesn't dry it out. Before I started trying this product I had a few breakouts on my cheeks within a week of using this product you could already see a visible difference... my skin was so much clearer and smoother. For such an inexpensive product compared to other high end face washes I think this really hits the mark and I will continue to keep using it. I thought I might just add that if you're someone you has skin on the dryer side, this is still great for you especially followed by a moisturiser.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Does this replace their spot clearing range? I bought this last week as I couldn't find the spot clearing range I had bought previously and it looked almost identical. Unfortunately it seems that this product doesn't have as much salicylic acid as the previous version. I'm pretty sure this is the main active ingredient and the old version had 2% salicylic acid. I'd like to confirm if this actually has less in as the 2% in the old version was the reason I bought it. It's surely less effective with a lower amount. It seems to have been replaced with some trademarked marketing bluff? Disappointing if that's the case as it's the same price.
