Formulated with a maximum-strength 2% Salicylic Acid concentration, this dermatologist-tested cleanser penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, remove stubborn dirt, and eliminate acne-causing bacteria. Designed specifically for blemish-prone skin, it refines your skin’s texture while keeping your complexion balanced, fresh, and clear.
Key Benefits & Targeted Solutions:
2% Salicylic Acid Powerhouse: Contains a maximum-strength Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that exfoliates inside the pores to dissolve dead skin cells, sebum, and debris.
Targeted Spot & Breakout Defense: Actively clears active acne, whiteheads, and blackheads while helping to prevent future flare-ups before they reach the surface.
Oil-Free Deep Cleansing: Sweeps away excess shine and surface oil without clogging pores or stripping the skin's essential moisture barrier.
Antibacterial Action: Combats acne-causing bacteria at the source to calm inflammation and reduce pore congestion.
Dermatologist-Developed Cleanser: Engineered to deliver visible clarity for spot-prone, oily, and combination skin types.

Daily Blemish Control: Gentle enough for morning and evening use, making it an essential core step for any acne-fighting skincare regimen.
Non-Comedogenic & Oil-Free: Cleanses thoroughly without leaving a pore-clogging film or greasy residue behind.
Generous 200ml Value: Large pump-bottle size ensures long-lasting daily use for consistent skin clarity.
Refines Skin Texture: Leaves skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and visibly healthier after every wash.
How to Use for Best Results:
1. Wet: Splash your face with warm water to open pores and prep your skin.
2. Lather: Pump a small amount of Neutrogena Clear & Defend Face Wash into cotton wool and work into a rich lather.
3. Massage: Gently massage onto wet face using circular motions for 30–60 seconds, paying extra attention to oil-prone areas like the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Avoid the delicate eye area.
4. Rinse & Protect: Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry with a clean towel. Follow with an oil-free moisturizer, and always apply sunscreen during the day to protect your skin!
