Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser, 6.7 Ounce

I have oily skin and have battled acne even into adulthood. I tried this by accident because it was on sale at the store and my skin started to clear up over time. I didn't think it was the cleanser, so I later bought a cheaper gentle cleanser at the store and my face dried up really quickly and then I started to break out again.

The cleansers out there made for acne is formulated for teenagers and are really harsh on the skin. The difference between this and some of the other gentle cleansers out there is that it moisturizes also. Dry skin typically tells your face to produce more oil (at least that's what I read). I give it 5 stars because it seems like my skin needed "extra" gentleness and this worked for me.

When choosing skin care products, I usually follow the recommendations from The Skin Type Solution or Paula Begoun's Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me (Don't Go to the Cosmetic Counter Without Me). This product is one of Paula's Picks for an overall excellent product, so I decided to try it when I needed to pick up a new cleanser.

I have very sensitive skin, and this did burn slightly the first time I used it, but, since then, it has been fine. It also works great with a Clarisonic brush.

Since, as of my writing this review, Amazon isn't including the ingredients list for this product, I wanted to include them here:

Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Isohexadecane, TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Bisabolol, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, BHT, Geranium Maculatum Extract, Dipropylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Methylparaben

This is a great cleanser for the price, but I just wish that it were free of parabens. It's worth trying, though, if you have sensitive skin.

This is the only face wash I can use in the winter when my skin gets dry and flaky. It's very lotiony, but still makes my face feel clean. It seems to be hard to find in drugstores this year..... Its a pretty good deal to get 3 at once. In the summer I want something lighter and use Cetaphil.

This is the first product I use in my regime; I follow up with Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment Vanishing Cream and then Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer. I did a lot of research on products and I found this to be the best on the market (that of course is on the cheaper side). It is free of many of the chemicals that should NOT be in a cleanser and it is definitely a great buy. I do not buy this on Amazon, I usually just buy it at my local Walmart and buy one at a time, though buying it on here in bulk might not be a bad idea. When I go to the store I'll pay about $5 for just one, so it seems that a pack of 3 on here is overly priced. But anyways, it is a great product that does what is needs to do, clean the dirt off my face! I have sensitive skin so this is a great cleaner that doesn't turn my face red or anything. Also just a tip, I did a lot of research and if you didn't know, you are supposed to splash your face with warm water to open up your pores, dispense the cleanser in your hands and wash for 30-45 seconds, and rinse again with warm water. Be sure when you dry off your face you are NOT wiping your face, you need to pat it gently and let it air-dry for at least 5 minutes before you apply anything else to your face. When using this product once a day, maybe sometimes twice, it lasted me about 4 1/2 months, WOW! For $5, that sure is worth the money. So overall, a great buy, might suggest you buy them at your local Walmart because it seems to be cheaper than buying in bulk.

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser is a great fragrance and soap free product. I agree with another reviewer that it does not necessarily wash make-up off well, especially around the eyes when used as a normal cleanser per the instructions. I generally use a wash cloth or face sponge (lightly) with this product, which helps take off waterproof makeup.

Remember, this is a gentle cleanser! I'm not sure many facial cleansers would remove makeup without a little friction unless they were specifically designed to remove make up. To remove makeup without scrubbing, try as a tissue off cleanser.

If your skin is really sensitive to a lot of things, follow up this facewash with Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin. If your skin is just sensitive to fragrance, try the Oil-Free Moisture in SPF 15 (or 35), especially when going outside, both are fragrance free!
