Cleansing is the cornerstone of any skincare regimen, no matter your age. However, in my experience, finding a good facial cleanser that meets all your requirements (in my case that would be gentle, slightly foaming yet non-drying and gets all my makeup and impurities off) is not always as easy as it seems. Well, I am happy to report I have found a cleanser that does exactly what it claims to do and keeps my dry, sensitive (and sometimes finicky) skin happy – it’s the new Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser.
Dermatologist developed for even sensitive skin, the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser removes 99 percent of excess oil, dirt and even makeup, while protecting skin’s natural moisture barrier to leave it feeling soft—never too dry, never too tight. It rinses away easily too, leaving behind no pore-clogging residue, for skin that always feels refreshed and completely clean.
This soap-free (and paraben-free) cleanser has been clinically proven gentle for cleansing sensitive skin, including skin with acne, eczema, rosacea and atopic dermatitis. Despite being free of any sulfates, the formula lathers up quite nicely thoroughly removing excess oil and all my makeup (as you guys know, I don’t wear mascara so can’t comment on that).
It leaves my skin smooth, clean and slightly hydrated without feeling sticky or greasy and perfectly prepped for any anti-aging skincare treatments. There is a light fragrance that I find pleasant but those of you highly sensitive to fragrances might not like it. (according to Neutrogena, it’s a hypoallergenic fragrance that is free of known skin allergens and irritating essential oils)
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Cleanser is also priced very reasonabley at $8.99 for a 12oz bottle and you can find it easily at all major drugstores and mass market retailers.
Neutrogena asked me to take the Ultra Gentle Cleanser Challenge after using the product for 7 days…..here are my results :
