Pros:

Removes even the toughest-to-remove makeup. Good price for the quantity.

Cons:

A bit drying.

If you DON'T wear makeup, skip this cleanser. It works great at removing all kinds of makeup, but can be a little drying. I only use it at night when I need to get my makeup off. I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser in the AM.

Pros:

Removes make-up fully. Skin feels clean and smooth. Not drying.

Cons:

Did not work during a recent severe hormonal breakout, but I am using other things for the acne.

I have used it for four years and it has worked well. My face is very oily and it's perfect for that. My dermatologist recommended it. At different times in my life, I have worn a lot of heavy make-up to cover the acne scars and I feel this works well to remove the make-up.

Pros:

Gentle enough for sensitive skin
AKA No irritation!
Foams up nicely
Easy to rinse off
Leaves skin feeling fresh
No irritating smell
Removes make-up well
Gentle ingredients
Doesn't cause break outs/clog pores

Cons:

MAY cause a bit of drying, but it's nothing a bit of moisturizer can't fix. ;)

A wonderful product for long term use! I fully support the practice of using only gentle products on the skin, day and night, while treating acne from the inside. The Fresh Foaming Facial Cleanser has not once harmed my (normally sensitive) skin or left it feeling unclean/irritated after use, and I've been using it very consistently for a few months now. For moderate acne and above, of course, further treatment may be required to heal blemishes, but this cleanser is a wonderful way to give your skin an affective wash.

Pros:

Takes all forms of made-up off very affectively.

Cons:

Dries out skin, but nothing a little lotion can't fix

I use this product purely to take my make-up off not as an acne treatment. Since I have acne, I wear liquid foundation to cover up my skin and I need something that can take it ALL off. This product does that. After I use it to take make-up off I use other skin product meant to take care of acne. If you need a good make-up remover, use this product

Pros:

Best cleanser I have ever used

Cons:

None !

I have tried everything and am a cosmetician. No prestige cleanser has ever made my skin feel so amazing and look so great. I used to have moderate acne and now I don't break out at all thanks to this lovely little product

Pros:

Does exactly what it says it will do, removes make-up

Cons:

A bit drying, but nothing a little lotion can't take care of

This is definately the best make-up remover I have ever used. Since I have bad skin I have to wear cover-up and out of all the other products I have purchased, I trust this one to get all that crap off my face at the end of the day including mascara.

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:

Doesn't contain ingredients that can irritate and/or dry out skin, doesn't seem to cause breakouts or make them worse, removes all makeup without stripping skin, oil-free.

Cons:

Bottle says "foaming" but it just makes a regular lather.
Also has a chemical-like smell which is something to get used to...sort of like strong hand soap.

Overall good cleanser for morning and night. Good for acne-prone skin because it won't irritate skin further and worsen breakouts.

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.
