    What the gurus are saying

    This cleanser earns praise for cleaning oily skin without stripping it, even with frequent use. Gurus note that many oil-focused cleansers can dehydrate skin over time, which can backfire by triggering more sebum production; this one's gentle surfactants and glycerin formula keeps that cycle from starting. Those with oily or combination skin, or anyone cleansing multiple times daily, may find it particularly worth trying.

    "I went with the Neutrogena Niacinamide Cleansing Jelly 3% as this has been my go-to cleanser for quite a while now. Actually, I can't even recall how many of these I have purchased. I feel like this could be my fourth one. It could even be my fifth and I'm actually almost done this one. It really is lovely, super gentle, fragrance-free. It does the job well, it doesn't strip my skin, and it lathers really nicely."

    "This is a classic best-selling cleanser that I have always really enjoyed. [...] I really have enjoyed it for when my skin is extra oily or when I'm in super hot and humid environments. [...] A lot of oily skin focused cleansers out there, if you're using them twice to three times a day over the course of months, [...] they do tend to dehydrate and strip the skin over time. And the problem with dehydrated or stripped skin, as an oily skin person, is that your skin can respond by overproducing even more sebum and oil, making the problem worse. [...] The thing that I love about this one is that it always makes sure that my skin is not excessively oily without drying it out even if I am cleansing my skin three times a day. It has gentle surfactants, 3% niacinamide, glycerin. It's a very simple formula, but it gets the job done. [...] A great simple cleanser for oily skin that won't overly strip or dehydrate your skin over time."
