A fairly gentle cleanser,
although it does contain a small amount of geranium which refutes the
fragrance-free claim and can possibly irritate a more sensitive or
inflamed skin (it stung my face upon application). Lotion base, does
not foam or lather. Can leave a slight film on skin. Would be good for
normal to dry or dry skin that is not sensitive to geranium, but
probably too emollient and not deep cleansing enough for an oilier
sensitive skin.

Not for very sensative skin
This product was harsh on my face! There is scent and it is not for overly sensitive skin.

Not Very Gentle
I don't know how Neutrogena can market this as "Extra Gentle" as this stung terribly from the first second it made contact with my cheeks. I had to rinse effusively to get all of the cleansing product off and then couldn't put anything on my skin for hours afterwards. This entire line is not a good choice for those suffering with rosacea.

Sulfur bar soap works best
I have tried just about everything and a bar of sulfur soap sold at Rite Aid or CVS drug stores work best. It provides a lite layer of white to the skin that help cover up the redness and fight against any pimples. I know the pain everybody is going through and for about one dollar a bar you will save alot of money.

Gentle, but not very cleaning!
This feels great when you massage it in... like a moisturizer. But, my skin does not feel clean. Also, it leaves behind a shiny film that looks horrid on me. I think it is the castor oil. I think this would be great for very dry skin with small pores. Be careful, my pores look gigantic with the film from this.

Good general cleanser
A pretty good cleanser and I find it very gentle. I didn't really see a difference in the mild redness that I have from this product but it did not irritate my skin at all. It was a pretty good moisturizer as well as a cleanser.

Not gentle
I tried this a while ago and ended up throwing it out. It think it would be good for someone with normal skin, however it was bad for me.

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleans
This is one of the few cleansers I've been able to use to help with my facial Seb Derm along with Rosacea. I like it because it's non-drying, but the only problem I had is I do get red bumps and papules a little more often using this product (not as much as other products though). Also, it leaves a waxy feeling on my face that comes off the next time I wash my face (I guess after enough wax builds up). It's not a bad product though.

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,
recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.
Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal
persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who
have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat,
cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory
papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where
flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop
intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous
enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
