This is one of the better cleansers in the Avene range, and I found that (when used in conjunction with an exfoliant 2x per week) it does a pretty good job. On its own, it cleans make-up quite well, and leaves skin feeling clean and fresh.

This moisturizer suited my combination skin very well. I felt that it kept my face moisturized the whole day and was not oily, albeit a little bit shiny (but that is of course due to the skins own oil secretions and sweat). The two things that I disliked however, were the amount of time it took for the moisturizer to absorb and the lack of sun protection within it (some other moisturizers have spf 15). As a result, it took me twice the time in the morning to get through my moisturizer/sun protection routine as you had to wait for it to soak in before putting on your sunscreen.

After experimenting with most of the neutrogena cleansers (and indeed neutrogena range), I have come to love this cleanser. It is great for everyday use, however in order to clear up pimples and the lines, it needs to be used in conjunction with a strong exfoliator (scrub) at least twice a week... giving you a killer combination!

Due to the alcohol-free property, the toner is very gentle and doesn't dry out the skin, whilst removing the impurities that are left over after cleansing (of which there shouldn't be much if we cleanse twice as we're supposed to - first time for a superficial lifting of oils and dirt from the skin, second time for a deeper cleanse). It smelled nice, which was a plus, and would appeal to teenagers. I also found that I went through the bottle pretty quickly, which is why I prefer a spray-on toner. In addition, I found that I didn't see an overall strong effect from the toner, perhaps due to the sensitive qualities, which is why I suggest that it is better suited to younger teens or pre-teens who do not have serious skin issues and are just looking for something to keep their face fresh.
