    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.

    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.

    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.

    Title: Neutrogena Skin Balancing Cleanser: A Perfect Match for Combination Skin Review: As someone with combination skin, I understand the struggle of finding a cleanser that effectively addresses both oily and dry areas. Fortunately, Neutrogena Skin Perfecting Cleanser has been a game-changer in my skincare routine, leaving me absolutely delighted. Here's why I highly recommend this product: Texture: The texture of this cleanser is truly luxurious. It is smooth, creamy, and feels incredibly gentle on the skin. When applied, it effortlessly glides and spreads, allowing for a comfortable and enjoyable cleansing experience. The silky consistency ensures that every nook and cranny of your face is thoroughly cleansed without any harsh scrubbing. Packaging: Neutrogena has definitely nailed it when it comes to the packaging of this cleanser. The sleek and well-designed bottle not only looks aesthetically pleasing on my bathroom shelf but is also practical and easy to use. The pump dispenser allows for controlled and mess-free dispensing, ensuring that just the right amount of product is used each time. A small detail, but one that adds to the overall positive experience. Effectiveness: Here's where Neutrogena Skin Perfecting Cleanser truly shines. This product effortlessly tackles the challenges of combination skin, leaving it beautifully balanced and refreshed. With its unique formula, it effectively removes excess oil and impurities from the T-zone while gently hydrating and nourishing the drier areas of the face. After each use, my skin feels incredibly clean, soft, and noticeably more radiant. The cleanser doesn't strip away moisture or leave my skin feeling tight, which is a common issue with other products designed for combination skin. The results speak for themselves, as my skin has visibly improved in terms of overall texture and tone. In conclusion, Neutrogena Skin Perfecting Cleanser for combination skin has become my holy grail cleanser. Its luxurious texture, practical packaging, and impressive effectiveness have made it an absolute winner in my skincare routine. Say goodbye to the constant battle against oily and dry areas on your face, and say hello to perfectly balanced, refreshed, and healthy-looking skin.

    Sensitive skin beware!

    Olderandwiser - 1 year ago
    originally posted on neutrogena.com
    I am so upset that Neutrogena formulated this facial cleanser with C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, which is a known skin and eye irritant, as the second ingredient in this cleanser! My eyes were burning and watering every time I used it and I was stumped as to why, because I believed in Neutrogena, and trusted them to create products that would be kind and gentle to my skin. After researching the ingredients and finally discovering that the C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate was the culprit for my burning eye woes, I feel angry and duped by the reputation of a brand I once trusted. After seeing the MSDS sheet for this chemical and the hazards associated with skin and eye contact, I just can’t understand how Neutrogena could create skin care products with this ingredient. Neutrogena, you have lost my trust.

    I started using this product a week ago and it broke me out so bad. It made my face very dry and rough with red patches. Neutrogena is my go-to brand for skincare however, this product was a huge disappointment.
