    This cleanser is a nice gel consistency and lathers well. It rinses clean, but it took a long time for me to see any results. If you're patient, try this. I could do without the bright orange...

    I guess I am in the minority, but I have no complaints about this as a daily cleanser (though I got a store brand knockoff, so maybe it's better than the Neutrogena version?). It seems to clean...

    If your face is not too sensitive, this facial wash does indeed cleanses your face quite thoroughly in just a small amount. It is suprisingly tough on heavy make up and even waterproof mascaras! It...

    Was using this and it broke me out--or at least did nothing for me. My derm said its crap...try Cetaphil as a cleanser at least it wont dry out your skin.

    I tried using this in highschool. It did nothing for me. Just made my skin break out more. Everytime I see a commercial for it now, I cringe.

    I always heard that this was the best and it was always recommended in magazines but it did nothing for me. It didn't help with breakouts at all and kind of irritated my skin.
