Not as described

I ordered this at premium price since they are no longer making this product. Once I opened I realized that the soap inside had been replaced by a different soap. The soap should be a creamy white gel with no scent. The soap that was in this bottle (and an additional bottle) was orange tinted with a strong perfume smell. Very disappointed in this business practice.

    Why would you do that?!

    I have been a longtime fan of Neutrogena products, from skin care to cosmetics. I used to be a Clinique girl, but tried Neutrogena when I just didn't have time to get to the mall. My skin stays nicer, and there's no cost comparison. BUT I tried the Naturals because my skin is sensitive -- I picked up the Naturals cleanser because I could see it had no dyes, and my fault for not reading the label clearly. But why would you go to the trouble of making a product with no dyes, and then put an overpowering sickly-sweet fragrance in it? Newsflash, folks -- if we're sensitive to dyes, we're probably sensitive to fragrance, too (and this one just smells bad, anyway). I can't use it at all on my face -- the fragrance overpowers my perfume, and be...

    Gentle Make-up Remover

    I really love this cleanser. I stopped using pretty harsh benzoyl peroxide products about two years ago and looked for something that would be kinder to my skin. I love the fact that this removes every drop of make-up, even water-proof mascara, has a nice scent and is gentle to my sensitive skin. I've been really happy with this product and will continue to use it.

    Why are there no directions on the pack?

    Seriously the first time I tried it to get mascara off I thought I was going to go blind it stung like bejesus! Next time my face felt just soapy Finally I thought maybe, maybe despite having a few hundred words on the bottle I thought maybe the website might have directions! Found them will try again tonight. I mean seriously marketing peeps DIRECTIONS please!!!!

    Good deal for daily use

    I use this product along with the the Neutrogena Naturals Refreshing Facial Cleanser. I have oily skin and am Asian. My chin is my problem area for breakouts. I have not experienced redness from any of these products, more breakouts than usual, or tingling/burning.

    Great Makeup Remover

    I have recently started using this to remove daily makeup. In the past I have been a fan of makeup remover wipes but this cleanser has been much better for my sensitive skin. It doesn't leave my skin burning like the wipes I've used in the past. I would highly recommend this product! However, I noticed in other reviews there's been a problem with the pump. The pump is also broken on mine but I have made it work! The product is definitely worth the extra work but may want to work on the packaging in the future

    Love!

    It does exactly what I need! I start with a wash cloth dampened with warm water. I'll add a pump or two of the cleanser to the cloth and gently rub the soapy cloth on my face and on my closed eyelids. Next, I'll rinse the cloth out a couple times and rub my face a little more. Then, I'll splash my face with warm water to rinse the remaining lather away. It removes all of my makeup, including my waterproof mascara and eyeliner, with no problem. I recommended this to a friend and she is now in love with it too. I use a regular facial moisturizer immediately after drying my face with a dry towel. I'm left with a feeling of light, refreshing nakedness on my face!

    Great stuff!

    I really like this cleanser; it melts my makeup right off and it's gentle enough to use on my eyes without burning. I can just take all my makeup off and cleanse all at once with this, rather than scrubbing my eyes with eye makeup remover first. It also smells really nice and doesn't irritate my skin. I've tried so many acne cleansers to try to help with my breakouts, and those types of products actually made me break out even more. I found that my skin responds much better to more gentle, natural cleansers and this fits the bill. For those talking about the pump being difficult to open, it is confusing because with most pumps, it will pop up when it's open. This one doesn't do that, and it really confused me for a while too. Just turn the...

    Bad, bad pump

    I think poorly of Neutrogena packaging each morning and night as I wash my face and must resort to unscrewing the broken pump and watching streams of the product run down the side of the container, wasted. The cloud's silver lining (of sorts) is that it provides a good example to share of how product factors outside of the product itself can detract from the brand. Please address the issue with the pump.

    Not for Combination Skin

    I usually buy acne products for my combination skin but my brother talked me into using a more natural product. BIG MISTAKE!!! I now have tons of little bumps similar to an allergic reaction on my neck and face. Upon research, coconut (one of the main ingredients) is a common pore blocker which may not be good for combo skin. Some people have had great results but be careful.

    Great product

    I have been using this for several years in the morning and at night as my daily cleanser. In true Neutrogena fashion, it is gentle and does not strip my skin. It also does a great job of removing makeup. So often facial cleansers claim they remove make up, but once you use your toner you realize they do not. This product does what is says it will and does not dry out or otherwise irritate your skin.

    not for me

    I've been using this product now for over a month and I have more pimples than I did before. I feel like my face wasn't clean after using it & my face was tight. I wanted to rinse my face again with just water to clean it. Then l use the moisturizer which only made my face shiny & breakout. It feels like I was putting petroleum jelly on my face. I love that it is paraban free but I do not recommend it for those with sensitive skin.

    GREAT Makeup Remover & cleanser

    I have been using tons of brand name cleansers, Juice Beauty, etc. and none of them have removed makeup like this has. I have no trace of makeup left - and I use a 16-hour budge-proof foundation, and my skin is still left soft and clean. Really just a fantastic product. If you used the old Neutrogena makeup remover + face cleanser in the blue bottle with white lettering, make the switch! I also think the smell is great.

    Best facial Wash ever

    I've been using this for over a year and I just love it. I'm over 40 and have to contend with lots of aging-related issues AND I have acne. This wash doesn't over-dry my skin or leave it greasy. It also does a great job of removing make-up. It's getting hard to find. Please don't discontinue it!

    How do you get this open???

    I snapped off the pump, trying to get it open. Product is fine, but this is a pain in the neck. Now it is drying out because I can't close it completely. Why is this so difficult? Don't they test these containers? I have dry skin, but after reading these reviews, this may be the wrong product for me.

    AWSOME! Removes all makeup and gentle too!

    I was looking for a one step cleanser that would remove 18-24 hr. full coverage make up without using 2-3 different removers, cleansers. My current routine not only took too many steps and products, but would leave my skin irritated and feeling stripped and raw feeling. So I went on the hunt , researching, and trying a lot of cleansers and wipes etc. I saw this and was like, this sounds like what I'm looking for and bought it. I have a lot of faith in neutrogena as I have used many of their products for over 20 years. Changing them as my skin has changed. I don't think I have ever not had at least one neutrogena product in my arsenal at any given time. So I took it home and was optimistically hopeful that this would do what I wanted. And it...

    Must Have!

    I absolutely love this product! I have sensitive, combination, acne-prone problem skin and it's been nightmarish trying to find a cleanser that works. Because its natural, this product doesn't dry out my skin and leaves it bright and beautiful! Plus, it smells great! I hope they make a Neutrogena naturals moisturizer soon! I could use a light spf moisturizer of this quality!

    Great for Hands, not face

    After using this product my skin broke out as when I was a teenager. It just got worse and worse. When I stopped using it, in a week my skin was back to its clear self. Then I used it as a hand wash. The film left by the soap makes my hands wonderfully soft. I am very fair and am known for my clear skin, so the breakouts were a surprise.

    How do you get the pump to work?

    I recommend the product but I have seen several reviewers address the problem of getting the pump to work. But I have yet to see a response from your company. No direction on the container about this either. Is someone at Neutrogena paying attention? My husband and I both have PhDs but we're not stupid! (Just clueless about something that should be so simple!)

    Great Product but...

    Love this product, works great but.... you do really need to fix the pump. Mine broke the first time I tried to use it. Secondly, put how to use directions somewhere on it!!!! I searched high and low before I found how to correctly use this product. Package does not have these instructions.

    wonderful for combo skin

    Love this cleanser! I have combination skin, sensitive but oily. This is the first cleanser I've used that has helped moisturize without leaving my skin oily. It also has helped reduce redness and even out my skin tone. I've been using it for over a month and my skin just continues to look great. Gentle, but effective. Awesome product!
