An Acne Face Wash That Actually Works

Okay, I know a lot of people who have had severe acne since high school or even later in life, and I'm not talking about just a couple pimples every so often. I'm talking about my peeps that have had acne all over the face or in large portions and just won't go away.

I feel you guys. I have had significant patch acne for over five years, and I'm only 19 years old! It is one thing I am so self-conscious about, and I started to wear makeup just because of that reason. And in addition to that, I felt that makeup would harm my skin even more!

However, over the years I tried facials, topicals, oral treatments, dozens of face washes that promise an end, and even acne surgery! None of them helped with a significant change. I even now continue to hop on and off of pills, different faces wash, diets, and more.

I am sure a handful may even not want to consider oral pills because of side-effects and what-not, and I agree entirely! Everyone has been telling me to either drink more water or go on birth control to fix my acne, but what if I don't want to go on birth control or have tried drinking lots of water?

Well, only a few weeks ago, I couldn't find my prescribed face wash on Amazon.com (Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Face Wash Pink Grapefruit) so I decided to try a different one from Neutrogena that sounded semi-promising. This one was called Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Cleanser, and it changed my face's life for the better.

I want to make a disclaimer before I go into how well it worked for me. Even though it worked wonders for me, I can't promise it will work fantastic for everyone, but I do recommend at least giving it a try! :)

So, once I began the journey with this new face wash, I saw results immediately. There was less redness, fewer pimples popping up, and my pimples that already existed lessened overnight.

My routine with it that I have found gives the best results is as follows:

I use it religiously at night after I have washed off my makeup and let it sit for a minute and massage it in before I wash. Afterward, I only put moisturizer on and go to sleep! I don't see much results if I use it in the morning, so sometimes I use it in the morning, and other times I don't.

It's quite simple!

As a result of my clearer and less red face, I have even dared to wear only mascara and tinted chapstick on most days as compared to a full face of foundation, concealer, etc.

I highly recommend this face wash, and you can get it at your doorstep next day or in a couple of days through Amazon.com. Try it out for yourself, and I would love to hear what you guys think of it/if it worked for some of you guys too!
