## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the ph of the purifying gel cleanser (blue bottle)?**
A: This is not easy to locate. Looked at a couple of sites for you but did not find the ph. You might try contacting customer service on Neutrogena website.

**Q: Can you describe the "almond" scent? is it similar to the scent of almond extract used in cooking? I don't like that scent, it's really cloying,**
A: I don't think it smells like almond at all.  It has a very fresh, neutral scent.

**Q: How do I tell which one to get? I either have dry skin or normal/combination.**
A: Get the one for dry skin but either would be fine.

**Q: Did the gel cleanser make anyone break out?**
A: I purchased this one and the Hydroboost. This one did make my face breakout a bit. So I stick to the Hydroboost now.

### ⭐⭐ Burnt my face

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by N***A on 9 October 2022*

It was very nice, you have to twist the cap to use it and then can close it again for better usage. You just need a pump for each wash and is very easy to form a lather. Overall it's good.
