Not only is the cleasing pad wasteful, but the packaging is ridiculously large for both the machine and refills.

I've recently had the exact same realization about Neutrogena. I think its their very simple packaging and Norwegian stamp of approval that got me for so long. Let's not give up hope though, if we consumers tell Neutrogena what we want from them, I bet they'll listen! While we're waiting for them to clean up their act (ha ha), I've turned to Origins for my facial products. As far as I can tell, they are true to their word - bit on the pricey side, but probably worth it to take good care of your skin! Wow! I’ve recently had the exact same realization about Neutrogena.

Ridiculous! Like Starre, when I was in middle school through early high school-ish I thought of Neutrogena as somehow being more 'natural' than other companies even though I'm not sure they ever marketed themselves that way. Regardless, I have not purchased a product from them since and don't plan to ever again. This certainly shows how out of touch they are. I saw this commercial and thought the same exact thing.

I already saw the commercial twice today. You can bet that the product contains 1, 4-Dioxane, an Environmental Protection Agency identified carcinogen. Most products on the market even organic have it in it. But you will not find it listed on the label. It is a by product of the petroleum based product, ethylene oxide, which is used in many product to make them milder. In a world where we are trying to be more green, this product is extremely irresponsible and shows the shortsightedness of big business.. They are putting a lot of money behind this product.

I frequently complain about the overpackaging of items targeted at women like pregnancy tests, which come floating around in a huge box of empty space and should totally be made to have refills. I was thrilled when recently i saw the ever so wasteful digital ones at least have refill strips now. I think it’s an awesome idea, and I will sign any overpackaging petitioin there is.

Saves on packaging and miles, provided you don't have to drive too far to get it.
