I'm the type of person who thinks hygiene is the most important when using something on my face, and the pump format was good for hygiene too. It was a bit inconvenient to press, but I think it's usable. As it's slightly acidic, my skin feels soft and fluffy after use.
ConsSince this is my first time using a gel cleanser, I didn't have a sense of how much water to use, but after using it a few times, I think just a little bit of water is enough to get a nice gentle lather. For those new to gel cleansers, you'll need to get used to it while using.
TipRecommended for those who like slightly acidic products. For those who want a soft skin feel after cleansing. For those who prefer a moisturizing sensation.

Texture The texture is transparent and just like shampoo? That kind of formulation! It doesn't produce a lot of foam, but the fine bubbles form softly and smoothly. 2. Usage The foam I used to use was also slightly acidic, but this one really doesn't feel like it's been used at all. There's no foreign matter feeling, but it's so moisturizing that it feels like it hasn't been used much. So it's great that it's still moisturizing even after cleansing! It's recommended because of this usage feel.
ConsThe scent... the scent is a bit unfamiliar, so I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. But even after rinsing and doing skincare, the smell doesn't linger, so it's not something that would make me not buy it!
TipIf it feels a bit underused, you can wipe it with a toner pad. But I found that just absorbing it with my hands gives more moisture. When you apply it, the hyaluronic acid? pulls the moisture and rises up like a white foam, making it feel even more moisturizing. (The difference may vary depending on the basic product)

As it is mildly acidic and low-irritation, it seems suitable for morning cleansing. 2. I've had issues with breakouts when trying new products in the past, but this one didn't cause any problems. It did feel a bit itchy at first, but I didn't have to worry about any reactions. 3. Sometimes after using foaming cleansers, my skin would feel overly oily, but this one, being formulated for oily skin, didn't have that issue. 4. The pump packaging makes it convenient to use. 5. The price is not overly expensive and seems reasonable. 6. Even though it's for oily skin, I was worried it might be too drying, but compared to other oily skin products, there was no tight, dry feeling!
Cons1. The cleansing power is not exceptional, so it may not be suitable for removing makeup. 2. As it's a gel type, the foaming ability is not particularly impressive, which is a bit disappointing. 3. I personally prefer a more 'squeaky clean' feeling when cleansing, but this one doesn't provide that, likely due to the moisture it retains. 4. As mentioned earlier, the lack of abundant foaming is a bit of a downside, as it requires more effort to work up a lather.
TipI would recommend this as a simple morning cleanser or as a secondary cleansing product after removing makeup!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and got to use a great product! My skin is sensitive, dry, and tends to be flushed. Except during my period, I don't usually have major skin troubles, but I sometimes struggle with breakouts when I use the wrong cosmetics. 1. Usage Experience โญโญโญโญ I didn't have high expectations since it's a gel, and I thought it wouldn't lather well. But when I rubbed it in my palms, it lathered up nicely. Personally, I think lather is an important part of cleansers, so I'm happy about that. The scent is not too strong and I like it. The cleansing feels very gentle and smooth, almost slippery, but it's not overly bothersome and seems to help form a moisture barrier on the skin. 2. Finish โญโญโญ It seems to finish off gently, leaving the skin looking smooth. There's no tightness or discomfort after washing. The reason I gave it 3 stars is that the slightly slippery residue can feel a bit lingering. 3. Cleansing Power โญโญโญโญ Considering this is meant for a second cleanse, it's quite good. I usually just do a water cleanse in the morning when my oil isn't too heavy, but this product is gentle enough for me to use daily in the morning. It also does a decent job of removing remaining makeup for a second cleanse. 4. Overall As a sensitive-skinned person, my skin gets red right away if a product is irritating, but I didn't experience that at all. I'm happy with how well it cleanses. Of course, it didn't fully remove waterproof makeup, but considering how gentle it is, I'm quite satisfied with the product.
ConsThe slightly slippery residue feels a bit lingering, making me feel like I need to cleanse more. Other than that, there aren't really any major downsides, as long as I can control the amount of pressure I use.
TipI would repurchase this.๐

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere is a 1-week review of the Hwahae Trial Reviewer: Skin type: I have oily skin and currently have folliculitis and seborrheic dermatitis. I have been very careful in selecting a facial cleanser, as using the wrong product can worsen my skin troubles. I have been trying various cleansers to find the one that suits me best. While it's not a holy grail product yet, the cleanser I'm using the most right now is the Avene* Gentle Gel Cleanser, which is similar in texture to a gel cleanser. The 'Neutrogena Rapid Clear Clarifying Foaming Gel Cleanser' is similar in position to my current product, being a gel cleanser targeted for oily skin, focused on controlling sebum, exfoliating, and removing impurities. This made it easier for me to compare. Usage experience: It's a transparent gel-type with a slight ivory tint. When used with a cleansing brush, it produced a very dense and rich lather. It has almost no fragrance, so it should be comfortable for those sensitive to scents. After using a cleansing water as the first step, using the Neutrogena gel cleanser as the second step left my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed, without the tight, dry feeling that some soap-based or high-foaming cleansers can leave. It leaves the skin adequately moisturized, not overly slippery, maintaining a comfortable, refreshed feeling after cleansing. The usage experience was better than a typical foam cleanser. Effectiveness: The BHA component effectively prevents buildup of dead skin cells, and I no longer need to do physical exfoliation due to the sebum control, leaving my skin looking clean and clear.
ConsThe only downside is that the cap is open-type, so the bathroom humidity is a bit concerning after opening the product. It would be better if there was a cap to cover it.
TipUsage Tip: Rather than a usage tip, I would like to recommend this product to those with similar skin types as mine (folliculitis, seborrheic dermatitis). If your skin is similar, I would suggest discontinuing the use of cleansing oils and cleansing milks (oil-based products). I found that oil-based products tend to clog pores and worsen the condition. I've tried various foam cleansers and handmade soaps, but so far the Avene* product and this Neutrogena product have been almost the only ones that have been satisfactory for me. In terms of price, this Neutrogena product is more affordable than the Avene* one. I would plan to purchase this product again next time. I recommend this product to those with problematic oily skin.

Personally, I think it's a good morning cleanser for oily skin.
ConsDownsides: - The fragrance is too artificial and may be polarizing. - After cleansing, it leaves a slippery, rather than squeaky-clean, feeling, making me wonder if I've rinsed it off properly. - After using it for over 10 days, I've noticed a few small blemishes appearing.
TipYou don't need to use a full pump! A light press is enough!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros(Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review) [I used this product exclusively for about a week to provide an accurate evaluation] Skin Type - I have combination skin that is sensitive, so I consider the products I use on my skin to be very important. Due to my skin becoming more sensitive during the mask-wearing period, I've switched all my products to be mildly acidic. ๐นThe cleansing gel seemed to produce more abundant and creamy lather compared to other products I've used. The rich lather helped reduce skin irritation. ๐นMy nose is particularly oily, so on days I don't wear makeup, I lightly wipe it with a cleansing water during my skincare routine. For a thorough evaluation of this product, I tried cleansing without the cleansing water. While it doesn't provide a squeaky-clean feel, the cleansing power is quite good for a mildly acidic product. ๐นPackaging - 100 points! The twist-lock cap prevents leakage when traveling, and the easy-to-dispense pump allows me to control the amount used, even when half-asleep in the morning. ๐นScent - A neutral, signature Neutrogena scent that's familiar to those who have used their products before. Although I received this as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I would repurchase it once I finish the current bottle!
ConsSince it's mildly acidic, you may need to double cleanse when wearing makeup. But personally, I double cleanse even when just using sunscreen, so I didn't find it inconvenient.
TipPersonally, I found this foaming cleanser to be one of the better ones in terms of lather. Even without a cleansing brush or device, the hand-washing lather was sufficient. I'd recommend using a deeper cleansing product in the evening, and using this one for your morning routine!

The T-zone area is slightly oily, and the cheeks are a bit dry. The Neutrogena Labs Clarifying Foaming Gel Cleanser is formulated for oily skin, so I was worried that my cheeks might feel even drier or tighter. But it seems I don't need to worry about that. I used the product right away, and: * It has a mild pH, so it cleanses gently. * The scent is nice (this is subjective, but it's not unscented, though the fragrance is subtle). * After rinsing, my skin doesn't feel squeaky clean, but it feels thoroughly cleansed. When I looked in the mirror to apply my skincare, the T-zone area looked almost exfoliated and glowy. It may not be the best choice for those who prefer a squeaky-clean finish, but you'll still feel a clean, refreshed sensation after using it.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad, but if I had to point out one thing, it would be that the product volume is a bit disappointing.
TipI usually pump the product twice and massage it into a lather while cleansing. When rinsing, it feels gentle and soft, but my skin is left feeling thoroughly cleansed afterwards.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Cleansing Power I usually only apply sunscreen and don't wear makeup, so I used this both morning and evening, and didn't feel like it was wiping off too much. (For those who wear makeup, it might be better to use this only for morning cleansing?) After cleansing, it doesn't feel squeaky clean, but rather moisturized. Some may like or dislike this, but for me, since overly strong cleansing power tends to cause breakouts, this was just the right amount. 2. Lather I usually use mild gel cleansers, but most don't lather up well, so I had to use a lot to avoid irritation. This one, while not as acidic, is just as gentle as a mild cleanser, but lathers up nicely. It seems to combine the advantages of both.
Cons1. Fragrance There were quite a few reviews saying the fragrance was nice, but to me it had an artificial smell, which was a downside. This is a personal preference, so it may not bother everyone. 2. Breakouts on Neck (+Chin) It worked great on my face, but after using this product, I started getting breakouts on my neck and chin. My neck skin is thinner and more sensitive, so even if a product works well on the face, it may not suit the neck and chin areas.
TipFor morning cleansing, just pump it once and work up a good lather with plenty of water. For evening cleansing, pump it two or three times and cleanse more thoroughly. This way, it's even gentler and works better.
