This is annoying for consumers since you can’t be sure of which product you’re getting, but it’s a pretty common thing to find with products from brands as big as Neutrogena since they tailor their ingredients list to the regulations and preferences of different countries: European skincare formulation regulations ban or restrict a lot of ingredients and concentrations commonly used in the US for example. The catch is that although there are two products, there’s actually a couple of different ingredient lists, only one for the Oil-free acne wash, but at least more than 2 for the visibly clear pink grapefruit one. They also look the same, and from my understanding, the first one is marketed towards US demographics while the second one towards Europe and Middle Eastern ones. These products differ a bit in their formulation, but they are both marketed as anti-acne face cleansers and lists 2% of Salicylic Acid as their only active ingredient. In terms of names there is the 1] Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser (Named as the Pink Grapefruit Acne Face Wash & Cleanser with Vitamin C & Salicylic Acid on their website), and there’s the 2] Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash. Neutrogena is available in more than 70 countries and different demographics necessitate different marketing strategies.
