Pros:

My skin feels really soft after using this. No harsh odor, very easy to use.

Cons:

None!

I have very sensitive skin, so whenever I used any form of face wash I would always break out and/or my skin would dry out horribly. However, I decided to give this one a try and I'm extremely happy with this product! It doesn't dry out my skin, and my face hasn't had any negative reaction to it! Will definitely be using this from now on.

Pros:

Leaves skin soft and not tight
Combats redness
Doesn't aggravate acne

Cons:

It doesn't lather much
Hear that it doesn't remove makeup, I don't wear much

This is the best cleanser I have ever used! After using Neutrogena skin ID for about a month and a half (on and off) my skin was tight and red and my skin was probably the wost it's been in a while. I had cysts and it was irritating. This doesn't tighten my skin and makes it feel super healthy! I use it along with the olay face brush because it does not lather that much. Afterwards I put on the Aveeno clear complexion moisterizer and my skin is clear, smooth, and healing. I recommend this cleanser for anyone with sensative skin.

Great cleanser

I was sceptical about this one at first as I’m used to a good foaming cleanser that feels like it’s really stripping your skin. This cleanser feels quite strange on the skin and not like it’s really cleaning anything but I find that my skin is left so soft and moisturised afterwards and within a week, most of my acne was gone. I only get a light to normal amount of acne and also some cystic acne around my chin and this has done a great job at clearing it quickly. My biggest problem is picking at my acne, leaving big sores and scars and this has reduced my scabbiness to a point where I really don’t pick anywhere near as much.

 Overall a fantastic cleanser. I just use this and also the makeup wipes once a day and it has made a huge difference. If you’re trying this cleanser and hate the way it feels on your face at first, just give it a chance and it may work wonders for you! I got used to the feel of it fairly quickly and the results speak for themselves.

Made a big difference to my mild adult acne
I am 35 with mild adult acne - ie. at worst 10-12 medium-sized spots on face and neck. This cleanser has been transformational for me. I used to use a non-fragranced cream cleanser but I guess this must no longer have been right for my combination skin, which has become acne-prone since my daughter was born four years ago. A couple of months ago I started using this cleanser day and night, in combination with a much lighter moisturiser than I had been using, and the results have been amazing. I am barely getting any spots at all, even in the run up to my period when they tended to be much worse. As others have said, it also doesn't dry out your skin at all. Possibly not right for those with moderate/ severe acne, looking at the other reviews, but this has been such a great solution for me.

Gentle
I don't use this all the time as I tend to be more on the oily side, but during drier times this stuff is great. Simple and gentle' doesn't break me out. Good things all!

Pros:

No smell, doesn't overdry, makes skin feel comfortable and soft and smooth.

Cons:

None!

This stuff is amazing. Until now I used the Neutrogena foaming cleanser which I realize totally over-dryed my face. I'm using this sensitive skin cleanser with the neutrogena healthy skin lotion. So far flakes and dull dead skin are just melting away. My face has a nice glow to it and I feel like the moisturizing quality of this facial wash is helping to heal my acne faster, which means less redness. Love it!!!

Pros:

-fragrance free
-non-drying/irritating
-great prep for medication/moisturizing

Cons:

None

I have unbelievably sensitive skin- I break out in itchy bumps when I sweat, am allergic to common cosmetic ingredients, (talc, bismuth) and avobenzone sunscreen burns my skin. This stuff kicks some serious butt. I hated Cetaphil,(regular and oily) Purpose, and Eucerin Redness Relief. I rub jojoba oil on my face and let sit for 10ish minutes before wiping it off and using NEGC. I then use topical medication. Depending on the medication, I will use either an AHA moisturizer or my Neutrogena oil free moisture for sensitive skin. My skin is sooooo soft.

None.

Love it.
