Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser Review

I recently learned I had been doing my skincare regime all wrong for the wrong type of skin. I am combination but with sensitive skin so the fact that this was 'extra gentle' was right up my alley when I saw it.

The bottle itself is boring as far as the design goes. I like that it has a pump top which makes it easier to get the right amount out each time. It makes it less messy and hassle free, which is what I am all about when it comes to skincare regimes! I love the fact that Neutrogena is scientifically researched which to me means that they know what they are doing when making this.

The cleanser itself I would liken to a lotion it's cream and has a slight smell but not overpowering. It says fragrance free but there is evidently something that can be smelled. It says to wet face and hands to make application easier which it does.

I smooth it on my face and rub in circular motions. I concentrate on the dry areas above my eyes and my chin to get that moisture in there. It doesn't do what I would like it to by removing makeup but it definitely cleanses my face.

Having sensitive skin and this being made for that skin type I thought it would be perfect. I was horrified to see that after using this day and night for a week that my skin had reacted and was red, inflamed and itchy. It says that it moisturises after each wash but it really didn't. I discontinued use after this and my skin started to heal.

For those that like a gentle wash but not overly sensitive skin this would be perfect. It cleanses like it says it does and it leaves your skin fresh and clear.
