I used the lotion every night for about a week or too. It did not show results right away, but eventually the lotion began to keep my skin clear. I did have to wash my face in the morning with the Neutrogina Advanced Solutions facial wash in the morning and a regular soap (dove) at night before bed. The lotion did not make my face oily and it also did not make it dry. Because I have a mix of oily and dry skin, i was afriad that it would make me break out more. I normally have this problem with acne products. I either get very oily or very dry. But it did not. This product worked well. I normally by Clearasil products, but have recently switched over to neutrogina. This was a good decision. The night lotion doubles as an acne medication and cleans your skin while you sleep. I also liked using the daytime lotion which has an SPF of 15. It was good for just spending the day outside. With the lotion, i noticed that it works better when you wash your face at night first. Overall this product worked exremely well.
