Product Review: Neutrogena pure mild facial cleanser

I haven't tried Neutrogena facial cleansers before so i'm not quite sure if all their facial cleanser smells the same. I've been using Lactacyd baby bath for my face and body for the longest time and it leaves my skin very smooth, healthy looking and fresh all day. I haven't experienced any break outs or skin irritation with the Lactacyd blue. 

I was in a hurry when I bought this product because we had to wait for the longest line at the mall's cashiers. So I didn't get the chance to check out contents. When I decided to check out the facial cleanser counter, it was my husband's turn to pay already, he then called me to check out the products and to know if that's all that we'll be needing, so i grabbed this cleanser and went to the cashier. I like smelling things before I buy them and this product caught my nostrils' attention so I bought it :) it doesn't smell so good though but do you remember the smell of those free travel sized shampoos from 5 star hotels or beach resorts that comes with their complimentary products? that's how this product smells. So i was intrigued. :)

Product Claims: 

Liquid Neutrogena is a pure, clean-rinsing facial cleanser for clean and soft skin. Hypo-allergenic formula is dermatologist proven to be mild and leaves no pure-clogging residue.

I am using this product for a few days now and I can tell that it gives me a clean feel and soft skin after every wash. Its texture is foamy once you apply it on your face and its very easy to rinse off. It didn't clog my pores at all and it removes excess oil on my face after rinsing. On the contrary it gave me itchy rashes on my cheeks and forehead which I don't get with the facial products I use. The packaging comes in a yellow-orangey tube that's convenient to carry anywhere in your skincare bag. 

What I don't like about the Liquid Neutrogena:

• It claims to be fragrance-free but the scent is strong once the product is applied on the face (but goes away while scrubbing and when it becomes foamy)
• Allergies and itchy rashes appeared on my cheeks and forehead after just one day of using it
• The cleanser irritated my eyes when it got into it while rinsing it off 
• The product now contains propylparaben and methylparaben which are synthetic chemicals that are members of the paraben family. (and that some european countries are planning to implement strict rules with, which caused harm to skin and health)

What I like about the Liquid Neutrogena:

• Packaging is handy and convenient to carry in my bag with my skincare stuff 
• It's very affordable for a branded cleanser (Php 132.75 100 ml)
• It rinses off easily
• It gives soft and smooth feel after every wash
• Removes traces of dirt and oil completely
• Does not clog pores
• The product contains Glycerin which creates a more healthier and natural-looking skin which also helps prevent dry skin

Will I purchase the product again?

I am very critical in buying cosmetics or skin care products especially on trying it out on my face. I was very impressed with Neutrogena body lotions and moisturizers because they really does wonders on the skin. But I also would want to be aware of the contents of the products that i'll use on my face next time. I came up with the conclusion that the proplyparaben content of this product might have triggered the allergic reaction and rashes that appeared on my face since I have a very sensitive skin. I might not re-purchase the product again but will finish off the one I got :) I'll try to use this atleast once a week and see how it goes.
