This stuff is very similar to cold cream, only much more expensive and it's an enormous nightmare. The smell is horrendous -- it reminds me of carrots, and the thought of massaging a vegetable into my skin isn't exactly appealing. It's impossible to use this around your eye area, even though the title suggests you should, because it burns as if you've just dumped an entire bottle of dish detergent into your pupils. The "gently removes makeup, even waterproof mascara" claim on the front of the bottle is extremely far fetched, as is the one that says "conditions and soothes eye area." Get real, Neutrogena! Save your money.
