How Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Face Wash Works

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates into pores and exfoliates the lining to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells. It helps reduce comedones and inflammation, thereby preventing new breakouts.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
