Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser and Deep Clean Foaming Pads
Customer Review: Works but not exciting
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The product works as advertised. On my large-pore mixed-skin-type face, it seemed to quickly leave my skin feeling softer and smoother. The cleanser didn't seem to clean the pores out as thoroughly as a charcoal mask, and I think that the soft foaming pad would "absorb" less from your skin than a clay mask would. But it's quick and easy to use.
As with all such products, you should avoid using it around the eyes where the skin is delicate, and should moisturize after use.
The water-tight battery compartment is a little hard to get into and the grip isn't exactly ergonomic, but that wasn't a problem for the short time it takes for a single cleansing.
The time savings are minimal since you still need water and a place to rinse your face afterwards. But there is less cleanup, and no stray bits of mask left behind after washing.
For somebody on the go, this could be a convenient tool and not as messy as a traditional clay or charcoal mask. But for many, this will just be another gadget gathering dust in the bathroom closet. I didn't find it exciting or compelling, but had no complaints either.
This item works as advertised, but since it does not work as well as a mask and with the lack of a compelling reason to buy this product, I mark it down to 4/5 stars.
Customer Review: Great product, can be used in the shower as well at the sink.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Nuetrogena is known for it's soaps and now they've added a device that will also do the scrubbing for you. The wave power cleanser fits neatly in your hand and when you turn it on it gently cleans your face. The pre-soaped cleaning pads are very nice and leave your face clean but not too dry. You can also use it when you're under the shower to save time.
This is a good product which is why it gets 5 stars. However, I also like my Olay Daily Facials Self-Foaming Discs, Combination/Oily, 30-disc Tubs, (Pack of 3) which I have been using before the Wave cleanser. Usually when I am tired at night I just want to gently clean my face of all makeup and don't want to switch on another gadget however gentle. The Olay discs also leave my face clean and moisturized and I like their supple cloth like feel. Most importantly, I use them to remove eye makeup and I don't feel comfortable using the Wave Cleanser around the delicate eye area.
I am already using the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti Aging Power Treatment Kit which has a similar powered gadget. It's great for scrubbing your face and making your skin glow. I have found myself using the Wave cleanser more in the shower than at the sink.
Customer Review: A good surface level cleaner.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It is hard to find a good cleanser that does not dry out the skin after you use it, or leave you with a residue. Topically this is a good cleanser. It is certainly not something you would use if you have major acne problems, but if you just have oily skin and occasionaly breakouts; this is not a bad product.
The cleansing pads are not very abrasive (although I actually enjoy abrasive), and the cleanser kind of stings a little bit in a good way. It is very gentle, and does not feel like you are scraping your skin off. However, if you have sensitive skin like I do, it may not be the best product. It made my skin burn a little and makes my face turn a bit reddish. Overall it is a good product for cleansing if you do not have any major skin problems.
EDIT (Monday 11-15-10):
I was later selected to test a similar product, the clean and clear black head remover, of which I can say is either here nor there in terms of improving upon the quality of this product, I enjoyed the pads more on the Blackhead Remover, though it did NOT remove blackheads. I did highly enjoy these products, but in all honesty, you are just as well, probably better off, getting a good cleanser, astringent, and scrubbing your face with a loofa!

Customer Review: I'd stick with cotton balls
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Overall Thoughts:
I was pleased with the pink color of the handheld cleaner, however, size wise, it was a bit too short, and hard to grip/hold onto. Batteries were included in the box, so that was helpful. Further, there was a large supply of 14 cleansing pads to use, which would last me several weeks at least. The cleansing pads were easy to apply and stick onto the device, and the pads had a clean, and refreshing smell.
Operation:
I wasn't very pleased with the operation of the cleanser. It wasn't very effective in removing all the makeup, and further, it didn't feel particularly soothing during use. In fact, it felt jarring. It made no discernible differences in skin appearance, however, at least no residue was left on the face.
Final Thoughts:
The wave cleanser might be more convenient to bring along than say makeup remover + cotton balls on a business trip, but the wave cleanser was big and chunky and took up room in the suitcase. I definitely wouldn't buy this product. It seemed to do a worse job than cotton balls + makeup remover, which are vastly cheaper, and no less convenient. I guess if you must have an electronic gadget to remove your makeup, you could get this.
Customer Review: Clean You Can Feel
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser is an ultra-convenient, very easy to use product that gives you the "clean to your very pores" feeling when you want it. The product is AA battery-operated (yes, batteries are included) and comes with two packs of facial wipes that are attached to the Wave Power Cleanser in a Velcro-like fashion.
It's easy to use: you out a cleansing wipe on the Wave Power Cleanser, run it under some water (it's waterproof!) and you just run it over your face over the sink or while you're in the shower. You might not see it working because there's not a whole bunch of foam building up, but what's most important is that you can feel it. Your skin tingles with clean as you rinse off.
At the end of the day or to start off your day, I take this with me to the shower or over the sick, and it's very easy to use. Not only does it give you softer skin (as promised) and cleans off all your makeup, but it also prevents zits. I had a little whitehead on my chin one evening, and I just ran the Wave Power Cleanser over it before going to bed. When I woke up the next morning, it had substantially subsided and finally it was gone.
It's gentle on your skin, easy to use, it works--what more could you ask for?
