This cleanser is wonderful--it leaves your skin feeling really clean but not overly dry. I bought this after the Nivea Gentle Cleansing Cream destroyed my face. My face felt red, looked raw, and hurt. But with two days use of the Neutrogena, my skin is looking and feeling much better. The Neutrogena cleanser does an adequate job of removing makeup and doesn't lather much (sort of a milky consistency), but these aren't major drawbacks. Overall, I really like this cleanser and would recommend it to anyone with dry or sensitive skin.
