Arms & Interventions
Control Group: Study Cleanser (Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser with Pro Vitamin B5)
Participants will wash their face twice daily using the study cleanser (Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser with Pro Vitamin B5) for up to 14 days.
Intervention: Study Cleanser (Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser with Pro Vitamin B5)
Treatment Group: Prototype Ultrathin Hydrocolloid Bandage and Study Cleanser
Participants will wash their faces with the study cleanser (Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser with Pro Vitamin B5) in the evening prior to bandage application and in the morning after removing the bandage(s) on Days 0 through 7. On Days 7 through 14, no bandages will be worn and participants will wash their faces with the study cleanser (Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser with Pro Vitamin B5) in the morning and evening. Participants will cover their closed and popped pimples in the evening with 1 or 2 bandages on Days 0 through 6.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline in General Wound Appearance Score of the Popped Pimple
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) up to Day 14
Change from baseline in general wound appearance of the popped pimple will be assessed. It is evaluated on a scale from 0 to 4 with 0=poor (new or fresh wound with the epithelium layer missing, wound bed appears raw and possibly oozing); 1=fair (epithelial growth is starting to occur, wound bed is dry); 2=good (epithelial growth is clearly evident, wound bed color is no more than moderate erythema, scabbing may be present); 3=very good (wound bed indentation is slightly visible, wound area is mostly covered with epithelial regrowth, slight scabbing may be present); 4=excellent (fully healed, skin flush against surrounding skin, slight color mismatch may be present), with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Change from Baseline in Full Face Cutaneous Tolerance as Assessed by Trained Graders
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) up to Day 14
Change from baseline in full face cutaneous tolerance as assessed by trained graders will be reported. It is evaluated on 3 criteria's: erythema, edema and dryness/scaling, all with a range of 0=none/absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
Percentage of Healed Popped Pimples
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) up to Day 14
Percentage of healed popped pimples is defined as general wound appearance score greater than or equal to (\>=) 3.5. General wound appearance is evaluated on a scale from 0 to 4 with 0=poor (new or fresh wound with the epithelium layer missing, wound bed appears raw and possibly oozing); 1=fair (epithelial growth is starting to occur, wound bed is dry); 2=good (epithelial growth is clearly evident, wound bed color is no more than moderate erythema, scabbing may be present); 3=very good (wound bed indentation is slightly visible, wound area is mostly covered with epithelial regrowth, slight scabbing may be present); 4=excellent (fully healed, skin flush against surrounding skin, slight color mismatch may be present), with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Change from Baseline in Full Face Cutaneous Tolerance as Assessed by Participants
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) up to Day 14
Change from baseline in full face cutaneous tolerance as assessed by participants will be reported. It is evaluated on 3 criteria's: burning/stinging, itching and tight/dry feeling, all with a range of 0=none (no burning/stinging or itching or no skin tightness/dry feeling of the treatment area); 1= mild (slight burning/stinging sensation or itching or definite tightness or dry feeling of the treatment area; not really bothersome); 2=moderate (definite warm burning/stinging or itching or tightness or dry feeling of the treatment area that is somewhat bothersome) 3=severe (marked burning/stinging sensation or itching sensation or tightness/dry feeling of the treatment area that causes definite discomfort and may interrupt daily activities and/or sleep), with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
