Most Helpful Positive Review The best This stuff is awesome. I use this every night before I go to bed to clean my face and remove all my make up. You only need one pump of this cleanser and it will clean your whole face. Almost every cleanser I've tried in the past dried out my face, but this stuff doesn't. I don't even have to put on a moisturizer afterwards so for the price and the results, Neutrogena Foaming Cleanser is the best
Most Helpful Critical Review Would not recommend. This cleanser looks and smells nice. It foams up easily and you only need a little bit. It does however irritate the eye area (or it did for me). I also was still able to find spots where it didn't remove all my makeup (mineral makeup, nothing heavy).
After using it for 2 nights I woke up to some cystic acne, which is a very rare thing for me. I can only attribute it to this cleanser.

Does wonders for my face. I use the whole line. They work well together.
Does the job 4
oily girlie from United States
It smell's strange and leaves my skin feeling dry and stiff. I usually have to rinse my makeup twice because it doesn't reach everything the first time. However, I have acne prone skin and it is one of the only cleansers that doesn't break me out.
Stinks!!! 2

I gave this cleanser a rating of 2 stars because it does take off the makeup as it claims, but the scent really needs a lot of work. There are several other products that do the job just as well without smelling like a toilet bowl cleaner!
Fresh Foaming Cleanser 5
Bianca from Wyoming, Michigan
I use this product daily to remove makeup and sometimes just to cleanse my skin when I am not wearing makeup.
Satisfied with the product. 4

Great for sensitive skin.
works so well 5
Julie from Commerce City Colorado
I've tried many cleansers and I always go back to this one. It removes makeup and rinses clean. It has no equal that I know of.
All Purpose Cleaner 5
Monica from .
I've been using this cleaner for almost ten years and it's amazing. It works great to remove makeup, yet it's gentle enough to use everyday. Never dries me out and never irritates my skin which is amazing for sensitive skin like mine. I've tried other cleaners and always come back to this one!
Not my favorite 2
Kenzie from Pittsburgh
This product did a great job at removing my eye makeup. I probably won't ever buy again because it dried out my skin and under eye area. By dry i mean like it made my skin feel so raw. I had to apply lots of lotion but it burned because my skin was sooooo dry and raw.
Worst cleanser ever 3
Jane from Il
It burns my eyes after removing makeup. Secondly it leaves face dry and I have combination skin. it made me have so many bumps on face. this made my pores open and created blackheads. the face wash smelled like a bar of soap. I gave it a try for two weeks and now I have the worst pimples. Do not buy
Doesn't Live Up to Promises 2
Dana M from Houston, TX
This face soap is good for sensitive skin but it doesn't remove makeup. I've washed my face three times with this after using a makeup wipe and have still found makeup on my face.
I have been using this product for years. 5
Jewel from Cleveland, OH
Great price and effective while being gentle on dry skin.
Awesome cleanser! 5
Vicki from Roanoke, Texas
Takes off makeup, even mascara, and leaves face feeling clean—not dry.
Great for removing makeup, including eye makeup. 5
CB from Alabama
Use it only for makeup removal. Use another Neutrogena product when not wearing makeup.
My go to makeup remover! 5
LB from Louisiana
I have used this for years and it is my go to face wash! It gets all of my makeup off, even hard to budge waterproof mascaras! It always leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean and never causes me to break out or have weird reactions. It also doesn't burn my eyes when removing eye makeup. I love it so much and also can't beat the price point!
STAY AWAY if you have eczema or sensitive skin! 3
hockeygal87 from WA
It took me about a week to figure out what was causing a random eczema flare up on my face, which I have only had eczema on my hands, sometimes small patches on my arms or legs before using this cleanser. All my other products (makeup, etc. ) I've used for years with no problems. Turns out this stuff has fragrance in it and has far too harsh ingredients to use on my face. I will be going back to Cetaphil and Dove sensitive skin cleansers.
Daily usage 4
Cherie from Bellevue, WA
This is nice, light, skin does not feel tight. Do not have to use alot to get good results. Low cost. This is what item I always have on hand and when low buy a backup immediately.
works great 5
Isaac from California
I bought this cleanser randomly because it was on sale and was really surprised about this product. I have sensitive skin and this product works great at getting all the oil and daily dirt off of my face. This product doesn't leave my face too dry compared to some overpriced facial cleansers. I'd definitely recommend this product for the price and overall great feeling skin.

Didn't work for me and left my face extremely dry :(
Great for sensitive skin 5
Hal from Detroit, MI
This is my go to face wash. Any time I try something else I always end up back to this. It's a gentle basic face wash but when you are prone to breakouts that sometimes less is more. This does the job without all the extra stuff that can sometimes cause more irritation.
I will not buy this product again. 1
Brittany from nevada
I'm giving this product one star, it smells good and is a thick soap and with water and friction it does foam up. However, it burns your eyes like crazy and that is where I need to remove makeup the most. I made the mistake of buying waterproof mascara and seen that it says it removes waterproof makeup, but it does not. I still have all my mascara on after the shower and I scrub and scrub while my eyes are burning from this product. I had high hopes Neutrogena, but you failed me. Along with not removing my make up after a couple weeks of use every night I have cystic acne that will not go away and keeps popping up.
Clogs pores 2
mmkc from San Francisco, CA
Bought this to replace my First Aid Beauty cleanser, thinking it would be a similar product. Boy was I wrong. This face wash doesn't lather well at all and leaves a thin film on my face, even after many many rinses. After a few days I noticed some acne around my nose and chin. Switched off this cleanser and it immediately went away. This product does NOT clean very well nor rinse off well. Avoid at all costs.
I do buy this product over and over again. 5

Smells Amazing As Well As Works 5
Kat123 from California
I have tried so many products on my skin. This by far is the best, and for the price, I am so pleased. No allergic reaction, removes makeup, is gentle on skin. I wasn't expecting that it also have a favorable smell. It smells like fresh linens. Please don't discontinue this product! It is so great on sensitive skin, and I have struggled! I feel like I finally found a holy grail, without having to spend $40 on a high end product that might not even work.
I would buy again 5
