Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover

All hail more natural cleansing products! I love the feeling of knowing that I’m putting products on my face made without preservatives or harsh chemicals, it’s good for the earth and good for the face! The Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover is a face cleanser made without harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes, and phthalates, and is 86% natural. This cleanser claims to clean your skin and remove makeup. We all know how horrible it is to sleep with dirt and makeup residue caked on our faces so when I first heard about this cleanser I was extremely ecstatic because I could now remove my makeup and wash my face all in one fell swoop before I went to bed (especially on those nights when I’m feeling tired and lazy). I’ve always had a problem in the past with cleansers that claim to remove makeup, but still left a residue. The question is, does the Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover really clean off all my makeup?

To answer that question I formulated an experiment:

These are the products I used to test out whether or not the Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover does a good job at removing makeup and cleansing the skin.

I rubbed the foundation, eyeliner, and blush on my hand and let it dry for one minute. Afterward, it was time to wash my hand!

Looks like the cleanser really removed the foundation, eyeliner, and blush, and got my hand clean... but did it really? To test out if there was any makeup left over on my skin, I soaked a clean cotton ball in makeup remover and wiped it over my hand.

The conclusion? The cotton ball was extremely clean and picked up no traces of foundation, eyeliner, or blush! Awesome huh? The shininess on my hand is from the oil in the makeup remover.

Now that we have determined how great of a cleanser and makeup remover it is, let me give you more details about the product if you're interested in purchasing. 

The consistency is gel-like and a bit on the runny side. The scent is pleasant. It smells clean and fresh. The product is easy to lather up and rinse off. Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover can be purchased at any drug store, Target, or Walmart and retails at $7.99, but sometimes this item goes on sale so you can purchase it for a discount.
