You may remember my review of Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Soothing Lotion and how much I loved it. A few weeks later, I am still excited to use it every day. However, it did take me a while to decide on using the cleanser from the same line. I don't usually trust that all products in a particular line will work as well as the first one I fall for. I have been burned before (literally, in the case of an Aveda product that had cucumber extract in it, which it turns out I'm allergic to) by thinking that everything by a particular brand must be used together. In most cases, it is simply not true (it's called "marketing"). I've found that picking and choosing carefully is the best way to go and I rarely love every single product I try in a line, no matter how much I love the brand.Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser is an exception to that rule for me. I had already seen a slight decrease in my usually facial redness from using the lotion. Adding the cleanser to my routine has pretty much eliminated it. When I get out of the shower, I'm so used to seeing my skin a pale shade of red from the heat (it doesn't take much) that not having any red was almost shocking. And so delightful. The skin on my face is more comfortable, less oily without going straight to dried out, and very soft.
This is a soap-free, dye-free cleanser without sulphates. It does produce a small amount of (SLS-free) lather, but rinses clean quickly. It would be even better if there was no added fragrance, but at least it's at the very end of the ingredients list. There is one ingredient listed that will make me reconsider this product (in other words, I have to do more research), but such is the result of buying inexpensive products - a long list of ingredients in a beauty product is likely going to mean lots of chemicals and preservatives, which is why researching ingredients is so important (more on that in my next post).
