I tried these products last fall when they were first launched. I had coupons for the cleanser, toner, and cream and figured I didn't have much to lose by trying them. I can say without a hesitation these are some of the worst products I've ever used!

Pore Refining Cleanser: fairly drying and irritating on my oily skin, and burned like crazy when it got in my eyes. Also, the "gentle microbeads" were scratchy and did not provide much exfoliation at all.

Toner: I nearly skipped the toner because of it's alcohol content, but bought it anyway. Bad news. My skin is prone to reddness already, and this stripping toner only made it worse. Alcohol should be banned in facial products!

Pore Refining Cream: Just awful; this is a very greasy cream that not only didn't "refine" my pores, but actually made me breakout! Ineffective and useless.



And now I see Neutrogena has added two more products to this line (an SPF cream and mattifying gel). Stop the insanity!
