A foaming gel cleanser from Neutrogena's trusted Ultra Gentle line, formulated for sensitive and fragrance-free daily cleansing. Contains hyaluronic acid for hydration and is non-comedogenic, soap & dye-free, making it suitable for barrier-compromised and reactive skin. Removes makeup and oil without over-stripping, though foaming formulas can feel slightly tightening on very dry skin. Popular in dermatology circles as an affordable, non-irritating baseline cleanser.
