What the gurus are saying

This cleanser sneaks in a light exfoliant while keeping irritation risk low, making it a smart way to add gentle chemical exfoliation to your routine without the harshness of stronger actives. The milky texture appeals to those who prefer a softer approach to daily cleansing, though not many gurus have weighed in yet so there is not much to go on so far.

"The Neutrogena Pink PHA cleanser is a way to sneak in a light exfoliant, polyhydroxy acids, into your skincare routine while really minimizing the risk of irritation. With cleansers you really just want to be gentle in this step, you don't want to be taking one step forward and one step back with the rest of your products."

"Neutrogena Skin Balancing Milky Cleanser with 2% PHA"

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
