Neutrogena oil free acne wash has given me some sort of burn, help please?

I've been using Neutrogena oil free acne wash as the bottle indicates (twice a day) for around the last 4 days. I have gotten some sort of chemical burn from it and my face is red, swollen, raw, flakey and dry. It burns a lot, too.


I've tried the Pure Simplicity pumpkin mask from Bath and Body Works and a homemade avocado mask thus far.


Any ideas how to get this constant burning to stop?

my sister used to have less acne than i did - i used product and she just used ivory soap. then she got ONE breakout and she had a spaz and started using this wash, and i did what she did - except i used cetaphil cleanser instead of soap. now i have less acne than she does and she has prolonged red marks (my red marks fade quicker than hers, she has scars from pimples she had a while ago because of this cleanser) so overall i dont recommend it. i just saw the product and thought i'd give a heads up, sorry if i don't help answer the questionNeutrogena oil free acne wash has given me some sort of burn, help please?
It did the same thing to my face, It was around my mouth and chin that it occured on though, It wasnt all over my face. I stopped using it rite away! And constantly put lotion on it! Hope this Helps! :)
I'm using this too, actually. The burning you feel is probably due to the salicyc acid which is drying out your skin. What I did was switch to using it once a day (preferably in the evening) and using a mositurizer after. In the morning, wash your face with a gentle cream cleanser--your best bet would be the vitamin E cleanser from The Body Shop or something like it.


Good luck!
