Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser Review

This cleanser is great at removing makeup. I don't use waterproof makeup however. The pump is easy to use. However I don't like the very basic chemical scent and it leaves my face feeling very dry.

When in need of skincare or cleanser from the supermarket, Neutrogena is definitely my go-to brand. They seem to make such effective cleansers and moisturisers for a reasonably price. Although I do prefer my Clinique /Dermalogica cleansers this does comes close to being as good! (But for a fraction of the price)

This cleanser is one of my all time favourites, and it would definitely be on my top 5 cleansers. I keep on coming back to it over many years!

The packaging is simple and iconic of Neutrogena in its blue pump bottle. It stands out in its colourful blue packaging and simple black label. I love that its in a pump, makes it so easy and hygienic.

This cleanser has a lotion like consistency, what i like in a cleanser! It does not have a detectable smell, which is perfect as the better for my sensitive skin! I wet my face with warm water, put a small pump of the formula into my hand I then massage it over my face. The formula is gentle and soothing.

This cleanser removes my makeup, foundation and eye makeup so well. It leaves my skin feeling clean and doesn't irritate it at all.

What is so great about this cleanser is that my skin can be sensitive and reactive, but this cleanser has always been gentle and hydrating.

I will continue to repurchase and would definitely recommend to those wanting a reasonably priced cleanser that is gentle yet effective.

Four out of five stars.

I tried this a while ago as the idea of a cleanser and makeup remover in one really interested me.

Unfortunately, I didn't like this much at all and don't think it is worth the money. In terms of removing makeup...it does an okay job. It removes my face makeup with ease, but, eye makeup takes a little more rubbing. I didn't like rubbing this all over my eye area to remove mascara either as it istoo easy to get into my eyes...not fun.

I do like that it comes in a pump dispenser, but, that's about the only thing I like about this cleanser. The scent isn't pleasant and the cleanser itself is too harsh for my sensitive skin and leaves my skin feeling too dry.

I wouldn't recommend this and will not repurchase it. For the price, you might as well buy an actual makeup remover and a nice cleanser!

I have recently found out that I have combination skin and therefore had to change my entire skincare range to suit that. Who knew that I was actually making my skin worse with the skin care regime I had been using for over two years. This is one of the gems I stumbled upon in the supermarket one day a while back. After reading the label I had to give it a free ride in my trolley!

I liked the look of this facial wash out of the many, many others that were surrounding me. The blue bottle caught my eye more than the other mundane bottles. I usually prefer more natural alternatives so was surprised that I chose this 'clinically tested' product.

I have tried a couple of Neutrogena products but not in any depth. This is the first time that I was determined to find the perfect skin care products in the same brand and line. The consistency reminds me of liquid soap but quite thick. It is a silvery colour (that's how I would describe it anyway) that has shimmery tones. It smells quite perfumed but I trudge ahead nonetheless.

I got this for its promise of removing makeup. I previously used makeup wipes which are a fail and most recently an oil cleanse which I liked but left my face oily. I was nervous that rubbing this over my eye areas to get eye makeup off would irritate them. It does irritate them and sting for a second but quickly passes so is doable....just. My makeup comes off just as easily with this than with oil cleanse. Mascara is gone, eyeshadow is outties and no makeup residue is left woohoo! I used a flannel to wipe off excess foam wash and proceed to the next step.

This leaves my face super clean, not oily, not dry, not squeaky like some washes do to my skin. To be honest if I didn't tone and moisturise like I do this would still make my skin feel good on its own.

Fast forward four weeks and day and night use everyday.......I am soooo delighted with the progress my skin has made. Teamed with the toner and moisturiser, honestly my skin is in love with me. It is in the best condition it has been in EVER!!! My skin is always cleaner, my lines have even lessened, WHAT!? My tone is even, my bigger pores around the nose area are non-existent almost. I have teary eyes I am so happy! Get on the wagon girls!

Favorite cleanser so far out of so many I have tried. It actually removes my makeup, and leaves my face feeling clean and fresh. I don't use it to remove my eye makeup however, as I don't like using lotion type consistency anything over my eyes. I love watching the foam turn "makeup colour" as it pulls all my makeup off my face, so far I have not had to clean any remaining makeup off after using this (except for eye area)!

I have no doubt that this cleanser does what it is meant to do. I have trust in the Neutrogena brand as it was recommended by my dermatologist. One thing that put me off was the smell - it smells somewhat toothpaste-like and there are thousands of other cleansers that will do the job with a nice scent at the same time. No problems though, price affordable.

I alternate between this one and my dermalogica cleansing gel, Neutrogena is the best supermarket product that has the same quality as salon products, i like to alternate between the two to give my face a rest from the same product. I do find i have to cleanse twice to remove all make up which isn't a problem for me as i cleanse twice anyway but some might find it annoying. I use about two pumps and lather it in my hands before putting on my face. Does the job and a great price compared to the dermalogica one

This has been part of my routine for a while. It doesnt dry my skin but definitely strips off all the makeup well and easily, you can see the foam change to a beige with the makeup coming off :-) I also like the smell of it and how clean my skin feels afterwards. The only thing i found it didnt help with much was my breakouts, i feel like i need more of an exfoliator as well to really get that dirt out of my pores. For non acne prone skin i would definitely recommend this for a fresh and clean face or even as a good makeup remover. I do find it quite hydrating and gentle just dont get it near your eyes!

Never again will I buy this product! One of the reasons why I decided to give this cleanser a go is because it was heavily advertised on TV by many beautiful celebrities, so I thought "why not..." it seems like a very reliable and popular brand.

I have a very sensitive skin, with redness issues and dry patches. This cleanser has irritated and dried out my skin even more. I felt it was so strong and bad for skin that i would even believe that someone can actually use it. After every wash I had a dry and red skin which is very unusual feeling for it. It didn't feel like it was gentle on skin and had a safe formulation. The fragrance was also not the most pleasant, like it had some alcohol in it. I felt like i was using an intense acne cleanser. for a very oily skin.

It took me quite a while to figure out that there is something in Neutrogena products that my skin can't handle. I had an allergic reaction last year where my lips and eyes swelled up and I got a rash. I went to the doctor and he asked me if I had recently started using any new products. At that time, I completely forgot about this cleanser.

I stopped using all products for a while and just rinsed my face with water until the rash got better. I later started using this product again and realised that the same thing was happening so I stopped immediately.

I contacted Neutrogena and they gave me $50 as an 'apology' I suppose.

I've seen many great reviews around, so it could be that I'm just sensitive to some sort of ingredient in it. But I still wouldn't recommend it based on my experience.
