Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleaning + Makeup Remover

Thought id give a go since Netrugena products have done me well, I think for a makeup remover "umm na" its not to good, It doesnt quite do what it says, I did have to fully scrub my face whilst using, the smell can be very overpowering azwell. The texture itself is quite heavy and gluggy. Not a go to product for me

This sounded like it would be perfect for me: I have dryer skin, prefer facial cleansers to makeup removing wipes, but often find that makeup cleansers strip my skin really badly. I liked that this was supposedly natural as well.

It has a fresh green apple scent - a bit artificial in my opinion, but fairly pleasant.

It removed my makeup well, and I didn't have to tug at my skin to get it off.

HOWEVER. My skin has never felt more painfully dry as it did after I used this. Even when I applied heaps of moisturiser it still felt tight and dry. I used this for nearly a week in the hopes that it would work, but each time my skin dried out more and I ended up with dry patches around my nose and forehead - not attractive!

I so wanted this to work, but sadly I've had to stop using it on my face - it's now being used as a handwash in the bathroom (and I still find it fairly drying for that too!).

I bought this one when there was a special and I wanted a natural makeup remover. I never used it around my eyes and good thing too because it irritated my skin and that's using it in the shower. I wanted it to work because I love natural products and it was reasonably priced so I gave it several more chances till I decided to stop irritating my face. It sat in the bathroom cupboard till my sister moved in with me. I gave it to her since she didn't have a make up remover but let her know there was no obligation to use it if she didn't like it. I don't know how often she uses it to be honest.

This cleanser was quite drying on my skin. They have changed the formulation and is not as good as it used to be. I think it was around when they changed the packing also. Prefer the milky version.

I tried this product for a few days, about a year ago. I broke out in a reaction all over my face for about a week afterwards. I haven't used it again. I passed it on to a sister, who also had problems (though we both have sensitive skin). She passed it on to another sister who had quite oily skin and she found it fine. If you have sensitive skin at all, I'd recommend steering clear of this one. The packaging and marketing lead me to think it should be gentle and suitable for my skin but unfortunately it didn't work with my skin.
