First let me tell you I have combination skin that's extremely acne prone. I've tried many different cleansers from drugstore to department store brands and including some of the other Neutrogena washes and they always break me out. I've used this bar on again off again for about 4 years now and it always comes back to be my tried and true product. It doesn't smell as it is fragrance free and the packaging is not real pretty to look at but it's very gentle and clears up my breakouts without drying my skin. * caution* do not store in shower as it is extremely water soluble and will melt away.
