this cleanser is absolutely horrible. it dried out my skin, made it peely, and made my acne worse. i wouldn't recommend this at all.

love love love this. Smell doesn't bother me and see other review under the newer "green" color because I didnt' see this one to write a review until now. I use this one and not the green color but I am sure that one is ok too. Use for senstivie oily/combo skin (good for even over 40 skin) in combo with Neutrogena "Clear Pore oil-elim Astringent" and then "Healthy Skin moisturizers" afterwards (non-spf formulas please if sensitive skin). Skin is clear and smell is light --shouldn't bother you if sensitive skin or just regular. See also Healhy Skin non spf skin creams for reviews if sentive skin and to smell. Love this.

i didnot like this product at all. i thought that it was going to work well on my face and clear it out but it didnot at all. instead it dried out my face more it was a total waste of time of money id rather go back to clean and clear products. i would not recomend this product. it actually has made me brake out more. my point is that it tottaly sucks.

Very very drying. Grapefruit is an irritation citrus with volitile components. It's a good thing that it is rinsed down the drain before it can do too much damage, since grapefruit can cause contact dermatitis or a phototoxic reaction when exposed to sunlight, so do you really want to include that in your skincare routine to begin with? You're much better off without it, trust me. I also noticed that one reviewer said it is drying, but that is a part of clearing acne. This is somewhat true, yes you want to absorb the oil on your face using blotting papers, mattifying lotions, and masks (plain ol' mild of magnesia makes a GREAT mask, with soothing and mild disenfecting properties, fyi) BUT, you don't want to overdry skin, because when that happens, the sebacious glands compensate for the extreme loss of oil by producing even MORE, making your face just that much worse. Basically, the best cleanser for ANY skin type is a GENTLE one.

Thats so funny that Paula said that about the cat pee smell because i thought the same thing! At first i LOVED it and the smell was great but about halfway through the tube it started drying my skin out like crazy and it smelt an awful smell which was definatley similar to cat pee! I have 3 cats and once i smelt that i thought for sure one of them peed on my bathroom floor but it was this cleanser. It really did work great at first but i had to stop using it.

okay iwhen i was using it it smell good but then that stuff burned my skin and it didn't help with my acne.

I love this! I had been using my neutrogena Wave to maintain my skin and it did a pretty good job. But when i ran out of refills for 3 days my skin broke out like crazy! So I decided to buy a basic cleanser since i am going camping soon. Its been two days and i can already the the redness and inflamation going down. I wash with this in the shower and then when i get out I use the Clean and clear dual action moisturizer and for make-up i wear the Neutropgena Skin clearing make-up. Love It!!

I use this once every day along with another Neutrogena anti-acne cream. The salicylic acid in it is more gentle on my skin than the high amounts of benzoyl peroxide that was in other cleansers, or even the Proactiv system. However, it does dry your skin out a little bit temporarily.

This cleanser is great. But, I only recommend it for super oily skin because it does tend to dry your skin out. It smells amazing, works on my teenage acne prone skin, and removes makeup really great! All the things I look for in a cleanser.

i think this cleanser is horrible. the only positive thing i can say about it is that i liked the fragrance - but only from the bottle. once i used it on my face, after a while the scent would remind of cat pee for some reason - horrible! it really dried out my skin and worsened my acne. there's no way i'm getting this again.
