My husband and I both use this cleanser and regularly re-order it. I like that it gently foams and my skin feels lovely and clean, without feeling dry afterwards. We both use it twice a day. I find that when I do wear make-up it effectively removes all traces and my skin feels lovely and soft. You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way. Will continue to buy and would recommend. We no Sofabound · lookfantastic.com

This Ultra Gentle cleanser by Neutrogena is truly gentle! While it may not keep me from experiencing any dryness ever, mine is typically minimal if and when I do experience any. This is one of the first facial cleansers to really clean my skin while also maintaining my skin barrier/sebum levels, aka preventing dryness. I’ve tried many different facial washes and cleansers but this one will always Elle · Target
