Pros:

removes makeup
creamy lather

Cons:

BURNS
leaves face red

This product looked attractive for its "natural" qualities. However, it did not feel natural. This product left my face tight, red and irritated which broke me out.

Pros:

Bottle is attractive
Lathers well, you only need a couple drops
Gets rid of oil

Cons:

Seriously over-drying
Smells really strong
Not "natural"

When I wash my face in the shower, my entire bathroom becomes consumed with this cleanser's scent and it lingers for a while. I had to stop using it after 2 days because it absolutely parched my skin - it was as if i put rubbing alcohol on my face... very tight and dry. Went back to my old cleanser.

Pros:

inexpensive
more natural than other neutrogena products
effectively removes all makeup

Cons:

smells like fruit punch
drying/irritating
not as natural as they want you to think

I'll admit it gets every last pigment of make-up off my face which is impressive. But it's successful in that because it's so harsh! Gave me dry, red, bumpy patches that I'd never had before. Also smells like some sort of terrible synthetic fruit punch. It's really not as natural as Neutrogena claims. For example: "To make cocamidopropyl betaine one reacts coconut oil with 3-dimethylaminoproplylamine (DMAPA) producing cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, which is then allowed to react with sodium monochloroacetate to get CAPB (cocamidopropyl betaine)." "Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (CAHS) is a synthetic amphoteric surfactant from the hydroxysultaine group" Also includes mysterious unlisted "fragrance" chemicals.

Pros:

Smelled nice
Gentle
Helped a bit with acne

Cons:

Didn't do a whole lot

I've been using this product for about 3 weeks, in conjunction with the Purifying Pore Scrub. At first, it worked great and i was really excited. But then I started getting little bumps on my forehead, and a few cystic zits. Now, 3 weeks later, I have a LOT of small bumps on my upper forehead, and I've never developed anything like that before. Also, this product does help prevent whiteheads, but now when I do get a pimple, it tends to be a huge, cystic, painful one that won't go away for weeks. On the plus side, the skin that doesn't have acne on it looks very nice.
