Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin, Fragrance-Free 12 fl oz — CICA & BarrierCare

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser is a fragrance-free foaming face wash formulated to remove dirt, oil, and makeup while protecting sensitive skin's natural barrier.

This lightweight foaming cleanser is designed for people with easily irritated skin who still want a thorough, everyday clean. It uses a blend of CICA and BarrierCare Technology to cleanse without stripping moisture, and it's free of common irritants like fragrance, alcohol, and sulfates. The pump dispenses a soft foam that rinses clean, leaving skin feeling refreshed and comfortable rather than tight or dry.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and oil without drying skin?

The formula produces a gentle foam that lifts away surface dirt, excess sebum, and light makeup while preserving skin's protective lipids. Instead of harsh surfactants, it relies on mild cleansing agents and BarrierCare Technology to maintain hydration during rinsing.

• Foamy texture breaks down oils and light cosmetics for easy removal
• CICA helps soothe and reduce the sensation of irritation
• Soap-, sulfate-, and alcohol-free base minimizes barrier disruption
• Rinses clean without leaving pore-clogging residue

Is this safe for daily use on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes—this cleanser is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, formulated to be used every morning and evening. Its gentle ingredients are chosen to reduce the chance of flare-ups while supporting a routine that keeps pores clear.

• Dermatologist-tested for tolerance on sensitive skin
• Non-comedogenic so it won’t contribute to clogged pores
• Free of dyes and parabens to minimize irritation risk
• Suitable for daily cleansing before moisturizers or treatments

How do I use the foaming cleanser for best results?

Apply on wet skin, pump a small amount into your palms and work into a foam, then massage gently across face and rinse thoroughly. A little goes a long way—use enough to cover the face without over-scrubbing, and follow with your usual serum or moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp.

• Wet face with lukewarm water to open pores slightly
• Pump 1–2 doses, lather in hands to create foam
• Massage gently for 30–60 seconds, avoid vigorous rubbing
• Rinse fully and pat dry; follow with sunscreen or moisturizer

What ingredients should I expect and which common irritants are omitted?

The product includes soothing CICA and BarrierCare Technology and omits several notorious irritants to keep the formula mild. It is free from fragrance, sulfates, alcohol, dyes, and parabens while remaining oil-free and soap-free.

• Key soothing component: CICA to comfort sensitive skin
• BarrierCare Technology supports skin’s protective layer
• Not formulated with fragrance, alcohol, sulfates, parabens, or dyes
• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested for tolerance

Who this is for: This cleanser suits anyone with sensitive, reactive, or combination skin who needs an everyday face wash that cleans effectively without causing tightness or redness. It’s a practical choice for people who wear light makeup or sunscreen daily and want a gentle, rinse-off option that pairs well with serums and moisturizers in a simple skincare routine.
