For me, this product works. I've used it for several years along with the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser, 5.1-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 3). I also try new products that come on the market, thinking that something else better must be discovered by now, but I always come back to this.

I suffer from cystic acne. When I was in my teens and 20s, I paid fortunes to various dermatologists. Luckily, it hasn't been really bad since my 30s, but it does appear now and again even though I'm teetering on 50. If I use products made solely for acne, my face dries up. My cheeks get red and I look like I suffer from rosacea. If I use moisturizers like Olay, Estee Lauder, Murad, (you name it, I've tried it), the cysts come back. I've tried moisturizers that advertise themselves as not supposed to clog pores. You couldn't prove it by my skin.

This is the only product that has worked for me. That it is affordable is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. As with all things of this nature, you need to try it for more than a week. I'd suggest that you use it for a month (that's what I do when I'm testing any new product that I don't have an immediate allergic reaction to). Not everybody's skin is the same so if it doesn't work for you, something will, just keep trying.

I have been using this product for years. There are many anti-aging face creams out there, but I'm afraid to use any of them, for fear of causing more break-outs. This cream is for those of us who are in our 30's and 40's and still get pimples.

I purchased this product because it contained two important proven ingredients for my skin care regimen: Salicylic Acid (to help with mild breakouts) and Retinol (a proven ingredient for anti-aging products).
Recently, I've begun to pay more attention to the amount of key product ingredients thanks to a great website called [...]
Surprisingly, the packaging disclosed the amount of Salicylic Acid (2% - pretty standard for OTC products) but nothing for the Retinol. It was on the product ingredient list but without its percentage. Once you start understanding the use of anti-aging products, this is a REALLY important piece of information for anyone purchasing Retinol products. You want to start with a low quantity of Retinol and increase it to get the maximum benefit.
On the box, there was a phone number to call for questions or comments specific to the Neutrogena line of products. I thought this would be an easy and fair question for them to answer: What is the percentage of Retinol in their product? I was really stunned when their customer service representative told me that the information "could not be disclosed". When I inquired why, I was told it would give their competitors "an unfair advantage".
This is utterly ridiculous! If you look at any beauty website that sells products containing Retinol, this information is there for the consumer in the ingredients list. The percentage of Retinol can be anywhere from .15% up to 1.0%. It's imperative to know the amount so you understand which product to start with (the milder ones) and which product to move to next as your skin learns to tolerate the Retinol, thereby increasing results.
I wouldn't recommend buying a product from a company that won't tell you the strength of a critical ingredient like Retinol. There are many other alternatives for the smart consumer.

good things about this product. Maybe it's all in my head but I'm pretty sure I see a difference in my fine lines within a few days of using this product, doesn't really help with pore size and even though I still get some breakouts not with the same amount of frequency and usually gone within a day or two. It's gentle enough for me to use on a nightly basis and doesn't dry out my skin.

This is the only cream that I have found that actually helps to clean up my skin. The fact that it is anti-wrinkle is a nice added bonus. I also use the Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish face wash and the combnation is perfect!

Unlike most or all of the acne products I've tried, this one does NOT dry my skin out. I was told to actually just apply it to my entire face twice a day, by a friend who was into cosmetology. Even with such usage, the thin tube would last me quite a while. And my friends & co-workers & family all noticed a difference :) This is also totally affordable. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it in local stores recently. Good thing Amazon has it :)

Having tried many creams/ lotions, etc. for the occasional blemish, this is the best cream I have ever used. My 20 year old daughter agrees.

I'm pushing 30 and still have breakouts on my forehead and hairline. I finally had to ditch the ol' 10% Benzoyl Peroxide I'd been using since my teens. During the first week of using this, my face broke out worse than usual, but by the end of the 2nd week, it started to clear. As long as I use this treatment at least once a day, it's keeping the whiteheads on my forehead at bay. A little goes a long way, as well. Will definitely be buying again.

I LOVE this! This has HG status. It fights acne w/o excessive drying. It moisturizes & makes skin really soft. It fills in minor wrinkles. A must have!

I love this product. I have true combination skin and am over 40. This is the perfect product for it!
