Review! Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser

Today I am reviewing Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser.  I have been using this product for about 2-4 weeks (I can't remember exactly when I started using it!) and have been using it in place of my normal cleanser during my skin routine.

My skin is combination oily, I get oily skin around my T-zone by the end of the day. I also have visible pores on my nose and cheeks.

The pros!
* I did notice that my pores around my cheeks reduced in size. However the pores around my nose were still there, staring out at me :P
* My skin was sooo smooth. I usually exfoliate once a week. But this cleanser I exfoliated twice a day. Too much exfoliation will result in dry skin but because this product had fine microbeads, it was very gentle and didnt dry my skin out.
* Smelled fresh and clean!

The cons!
*It stung my eyes and I could barely open them! I am thinking it is because of the AHA present in the product?
* Because it is an exfoliating cleanser, and because it badly stung my eyes, I could not use this to take off residual eye makeup...

Overall Rating 3/5
I enjoyed how smooth my skin felt and how squeaky clean it was after each cleanse.  But I would not repurchase this because of how much it stung my eyes!

Have you tried Neutrogena cleansers before? What are your favs?
