Awesome Cleanser
I love this cleanser so much. It cleans off all the extra makeup and dirt left on my face at the end of the day. It does not dry out my skin and it leaves it feeling fresh. I would recommend this cleanser for any skin type.

My favourite foaming cleanser!
Best foaming cleanser in my books.. I have yet to find a foaming cleanser that does NOT leave some amount of tightness afterwards but I still enjoy this one. It foams and cleans well it removes my clinique mascara and eye makeup and it gets a best rating from beautypedia too. No face wash will remove acne. For that you need a regimen and acne cream. Facewash gets washed off before it can have any more effect than just cleaning . My advice keep it simple and gentle. I don't have any idea who this would work on a dry skin but for my combo its great. I won't give this a 5 star because in my opinion a 5 star cleanser wont leave any trace of tightness no matter how little.

Pros:

Alcohol free
Oil free
Soap Free
No fragrance
Inexpensive
Lather well
Removes face makeup

Cons:

Drying
Leaves skin feeling tight/dry

I have tried several cleansers from Neutrogena; Acne Stress Control, Naturals, Clear Pore Cleanser Mask as well as their alcohol free toner, and a few moisturizers. I have had success with their cleansers in the past but find that after a while I don't achieve the same results. Basically I tend to favor Neutrogena over the other drug store brands. This particular cleanser I am not in love with but also don't totally hate. It does remove my makeup and doesn't smell awful but I'm not too sure how well it will be at treating my acne b/c I've only been using it for about a week. I do use it day and night but I'm considering Cetaphil for my morning wash since I've read several reviews of people having success in their quest for clear skin w/ Cetaphil. I will continue to use this as my night time cleanser until a) The bottle is empty or b) I find something else better.

Pros:

-Removes facial makeup, as well as most eyemakeup
-dosn't burn or sting
-I don't notice any smell at all
-won't clog pores

Cons:

Like everyone else said, a bit over drying

I have combo skin, and this stuff works great for me, i use it at night before bed for removing makeup, it removes most eye makeup as well! In the mornings i use a natural oatmeal remedy. Good for people with oily/combo skin for sure as there skin should be ok with the dryness, A moisturizer can fix that quick :)

Cons:

to be honest, it has a weird smell and doesn't remove mascara or bottom eye makeup

Pros:

cleans skin very well
great fragrance!
not drying
does not make skin greasy

Cons:

is NOT an acne preventing product
can be drying for sensitive skin

I LOVE this stuff and the way it makes my skin feel fresh every time i use it! I use it 3 times a day and it doesn't dry my skin out if i use cetaphil afterwards. This product is great if you have NORMAL skin. It is NOT FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN. i have acne prone skin and although it is a great cleaner, it goes not get rid of my acne. However, it goes not cause me to break out either.

Pros:

Removes all make-up.
Unclogs most pores.
Not over-drying.

Cons:

Deeper pores may need further treatment but not with the foaming cleanser as to leave this on longer only causes redness and does not penetrate deeply.

I switched to Neutrogena after using Pro Activ with no results. Initially I tried the Oil-Eliminating Cleanser however that caused much irritation and made my acne flare up worse after a few days, the only pro to said cleanser being reduction in pore size. The Fresh Foaming Cleanser is far more gentle on the skin but still has the same effectiveness in removing make up. However as mentioned in cons, the cleanser does not penetrate in deeper areas but I have found this rectified when I eat a few oranges a day. My recommendations would be to treat deeper pores with 'internal' remedies as any additional spot treatments used in conjunction with the cleanser only cause irritation and redness.
