Neutrogena's Skin Balancing Gel Cleanser has quickly become a must-have in my daily skincare routine. Designed for combination skin, this product perfectly addresses both oily and dry areas without causing irritation or leaving my skin feeling stripped. It’s a beautifully balanced formula that lives up to its name. The first thing I noticed upon using it was the fantastic texture. It's a clear gel that transforms into a light, foamy lather with a bit of water. The texture feels incredibly soft and smooth on the skin, providing a satisfying cleanse that washes away cleanly. I appreciate that there's no overwhelming scent; it has a very subtle, fresh aroma that makes the cleansing experience feel even more gentle and refreshing. What truly sets this cleanser apart is its star ingredient: polyhydroxy acid (PHA). Unlike some harsher exfoliants, the PHA in this formula is incredibly mild. It works to gently lift away dead skin cells and impurities, leaving my skin feeling smoother and looking clearer. This is a game-changer for someone with combination skin, as it helps with oil control in the T-zone while also preventing the dry patches on my cheeks from getting flaky. The ingredients list is also free of parabens, sulfates, and dyes, which is a big plus for sensitive skin. The packaging is simple, practical, and a great example of thoughtful design. The pump dispenser makes it easy to get just the right amount of product without any mess or waste. It's a small detail, but it makes the daily process so much more efficient. After using this cleanser consistently, my skin feels genuinely balanced and healthy. It does an excellent job of removing dirt, oil, and makeup without ever making my skin feel tight or dry. My complexion looks clearer, and the overall texture has improved. For anyone with combination skin looking for an effective, gentle, and reliable daily cleanser, the Neutrogena Skin Balancing Gel Cleanser is definitely worth trying.

I have been using a range of Neutrogena products for years. I RECENTLY pur hased the skin balancing gel cleanser. It is extremely drying to my skin, almost immediately after use and almost painful.
I love it!

I’ve been using the Neurogenic Cleanser for a couple of weeks, and I’m really impressed with the results! The formula feels so soothing on my skin, and it gently removes dirt and makeup without causing any dryness or irritation. It’s designed for sensitive skin, and I can definitely tell – my skin feels nourished and balanced after every use. I also love how it doesn’t have a heavy scent, which makes it perfect for anyone who prefers a more neutral fragrance. Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a calming, effective cleanser that leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed! Highly recommend it.

I LOVE THIS CLEANSER SM. It lasts so long; I used this cleanser for months before it running out since a little goes a long way. The packaging is sleek and practical so it can be pumped with ease. This cleanser made my skin so soft. I have oily skin and most cleansers don’t go a good job clearing my pores but this one makes my skin look like a newborn baby.

I’ve been using this for the past week just to try something new. So far I’m enjoying the experience. My face feels clean and soft after I use it. There’s a faint smell but nothing overwhelming or chemical smell. I am going to keep using this and see what happens 😃

Neutrogena Skin Balancing Gel Cleanser for combination skin is a great cleanser for balancing your dry and oily skin. It's gel texture is great for purifying and softening the skin and it has polyhydroxy acid to exfoliate and cleanse deep into pores. I also like that it's gentle enough for sensitive skin because it's hypoallergenic formula respects skin's natural pH and moisture barrier.
Good cleanser, not very hydrating

Works well to make face feel clean. Although it's supposed to be hydrating, my skin still ends up feeling tight after use, so it's not necessarily helping with hydration. My husband and teenage daughter like it though and don't seem to mind it on their skin. Good option for those on a budget and not overly dry skin.

I never thought I'd find something for combination skin that actually works or isn't over-drying. This facewash is wonderful and doesn't over-dry my skin. I wish I knew about this product many years ago.

Very good cleanser. Help to clean my face after a long day even with sunscreen on. No scented cleanser is the best. The ingredients help yo clean the pores effectively.

I have a habit of using cleansers on my skin daily after work. I used to use Clinique cleanser but since I got this cleanser as a tryout from Sampler and it got me hooked. I like how light weight and clean my skin feels after. The fragrance is lightly scented and it foams up nicely when I apply it on my skin. The design of the pump bottle makes it easier to get enough of the formula you need each time. I like this and I will continue using this cleanser.
Beautiful face days ahead !

I really enjoy using this gel cleanser. It removes makeup OK, but cleans the skin beautifully. It provides a deep clean but it is gentle for everyday use without drying or stripping the skin. While it is not moisturizing, it helps skin keep its mositure overtime. My skin is left smooth, even toned, clean and perfectly balanced! No more oily T-zone or dry cheeks :) Effect lasts all day ! It has a nice and soft scent and a cooling effect on the skin.
Great for combo skin and purification!!

This is a great gel cleanser for oily or combination skin . I love the pump bottle it makes it so much easier to use while washing your face. It uses polyhydoxy acid a powerful liquid exfoliant and moisturizing humectant in one that decongests down to the pores and conditions the skin. It's hypoallergenic developed by dermatologists to respect skins natural pH and moisture barrier. It's free of parabens , soaps, sulfates, phthalates, alcohol and dyes. I love how smooth and soft my skin feels after using this product and how it targets pore clogging dirt and impurities leaving your skin hydrated and clean feeling.

I really like the way the bottle was shape and it had a nice smell. I really like the way my skin felt and look after using it. I really love the way it's not too strong and it feels really good on my face when I use in the mornings. It does a good job of the exfoliating and moisturizing my skin.
