Five Guys
- Jim Leff Dec 13, 2007 08:20 AM
I'm a fan of Five Guys from years of eating at their original store in northern virginia.
Walked by their 55th street location (43 W55) last night (what a block! menchanko-tei, tang pavilion...), and grabbed some fries, on impulse, even though I wasn't that hungry.
Really really nice people (sassy nice, not sappy nice). Everybody seems to be really into the food. The fry guy discarded a batch that came out not to his liking.
And the fries were killing. A very happy large styrofoam cupful (not the best way to do it....it causes condensation which causes mushiness...so I dumped immediately into the enclosing paper bag). Burgers looked really good, too.
This place may turn careless and cynical, but for now it's a breath of fresh, greasy air.
Just ate a CB and fries there last night for the first time. I think ShakeShack is better perhaps on the burger side, but I think this burger was on par with or better than The Burger Joint. I liked their fries quite a bit too. Very friendly staff.
THEY NEED SHAKES on the menu.
I love Five Guys burgers, and I also was happy to find the midtown location since I fell in love with them while in D.C. The burgers are really juicy, and the selection of toppings suits my tastes perfectly. I also agree that the fries are great, especially when you dump them into the bag. In fact, I usually eat a lot of the fries first to let the burger marinate a bit more in its wonderfulness.
Now that this place is only blocks away from my job, I do not know what I am going to do to stay in shape!
I don't think Five Guys lives up to the hype. We went once after reading an article that made it sound like we were going to have the best burger--better than any we've ever had before. What a disappointment! It was just okay. I've had far better elsewhere. I hope that this one on 55th keeps its dining area cleaner than the ones in the DC area.
re: MizYellowRose
It's important to bear in mind that there are two sorts of objects that are both called "hamburger". There are big, fat, steaky, coarse-ground gourmet pub/steakhouse-style hamburgers and patty-ish fast food style hamburgers. One isn't trying to be the other, and IMO one isn't "better" than the other, but those who prefer the former often express contempt at great versions of the latter. You've got to take genre into account.
Five Guys in Virginia makes an excellent, excellent fast food style burger. it ain't a steakburger, much like the guys who painted my house weren't trying to produce a Tuscan fresco. But just as I don't inspect their brushwork through a loupe, I adjust expectations to genre!
5 Guys in midtown is actually a hybrid, at least according to my quick look. More steakburgery. But still not aiming to go head to head with that genre.
re: Jim Leff
Great post, Mr. Leff. I love the burgers served at brewpubs which are definitely in the pub/steakhouse style. I also love the fast food style burgers served at places like White Rose. And I love 5 Guys, which, as you said is a hybrid. All depends on what kind of mood I'm in.
re: Jim Leff
Jim-this reminds me of an argument I've had previously. www.chowhound.com/topics/417054. I believe there is sentimental value attached to what you classify as "fast-food" genre burgers, hence the fascination with slyders...everyone remembers their drunken college nights at White Castle. But I don't believe that steamed patties a la Shake Shack deserve equal billing with the truly great grilled, thick, rare, meaty, bloody platonic burgers you call "pub" style. Next thing you know people will be nostalgic for "Dominoe's" style pizza over NY or neopolitan style pizza.
re: guttergourmet
I don't believe one genre of anything is better or worse than any other genre of anything. You can believe otherwise, and you'll be in very populous company. But I judge iterations of things, not classes of things.
My judgement of Dominoes is, btw, drek.
re: guttergourmet
Shake Shack doesn't steam their patties. Also, I think you're confusing your preferences for objective quality. Rest assured, I and many others are just as skeptical of pub-style burgers. For example, I think the Corner Bistro burger is really, really disappointing...
re: a_and_w
" I think you're confusing your preferences for objective quality"
I'm not sure what this refers to.
re: Jim Leff
I'm replying to gutter's comment that fast food burgers don't deserve equal billing with pub style. Just because someone prefers pub burgers doesn't make that style objectively superior -- and vice versa. Some people like me prefer Shake Shack, while others prefer Corner Bistro (blech). Still others, like you, enjoy both styles.
re: a_and_w
My point is that there are "styles" or "genres" which deserve respect, e.g. I prefer NY and Neopolitan thin crust style pizza to Chicago deep dish or California goat cheese pizza but I respect all of them. As Jim suggested, Dominoe's "fast food" pizza is garbage. "Fast food" style burgers, as the name implies, derive from crappy McDonald's burgers and therefore I believe do not constitute a "style" or a "genre" nor warrant the same respect as a thick, medium rare grilled burger. However, in the spirit of CH I am happy to agree to disagree. Ironically, I haven't been to Five Guys here in Manhattan but still enjoyed a double burger at one of the locations in Georgetown in D.C. earlier this year with great fries. Of course, I've never met a pizza (even Dominoes) that I'd throw away either.
re: guttergourmet
You make an interesting point re fast food pizza, gutter, which I agree is generally worse than fast food burgers. But just because you're inspired by something humble doesn't mean you're unworthy of respect -- it's all in the execution. Shake Shack, for example, serves a "fast food style" burger. But equating Danny Meyer's tasty mix of sirloin and brisket to McDonald's processed "meat" seems wrong to me.
re: a_and_w
re: a_and_w
a and w, ah, ok, it looked like you were talking to me.
I totally agree. Know what really pushed me to the extreme on this? Reading food books from early in the 20th century. Lots of comments ala "chinese food is fine if you don't mind having your food chopped into bits, like baby food", or "liver is a very fine and delicious food". Such inanity was written by premier authorities of their generation.
A great big gaping problem with criticism would disappear if folks would stop judging classes of things and concentrate on individual iterations. Announcing that Hip Hop music or Impressionism or Peruvian food or lasagna are lousy is the height of inanity. There is no vertical heirarchy in art, just a spectrum of possibilities to produce greatness. Cassoulet is not better than feijoada 'cuz it's French, more famous, more expensive, etc. Talk to me about THIS feijoada or THIS cassoulet!
Same with burgers. There's a spectrum, and I aim to find treasure at every end, be it hand minced kobe beef grilled over peach tree wood or a patty slapped (with love) on a grill. Deliciousness is Deliciousness!
Guttergourmet, Dominoes Pizza sucks because Dominoes Pizza sucks. I respect anything delicious of any genre at any time in any form. Period. If it's not delicious, I don't respect it. If it is, I do. I discount nothing on category. That strikes me as eminently reasonable, but different strokes for different hounds....
re: Jim Leff
Jim- as my nickname indicates I am equally happy eating foie gras at per se or squeezing in at a pig pickin. I am persuaded by a and w's and your argument. If it tastes good, eat it-don't analyze it. Guess I had to hear it from the Alpha Dog himself. P.S. thanks for giving us the forum to share our deliciousness experiences.
re: guttergourmet
Geez, no! Analyze the bejesus out of it! The unexamined chow is not worth ingesting! I'm not suggesting a shaddup-'n-eat approach. Just that we embrace and respect all manifestations of deliciousness. Deliciousness is about how a given thing's prepared...the love and care and talent. Classes and genres of things are deliciousness neutral*. At least that's how I fervidly feel!
* - exception: potatoes.
You're welcome, but thanks for POSTING to the forum, or else it'd just be pretty software! :)
re: Jim Leff
I understand. I meant don't categorize or prejudge. You never know where deliciousness (and love) might be found.
re: Jim Leff
but.. but.. liver IS a fine and delicious food!
re: wleatherette
Would you prefer carelessly cooked liver to lovingly cooked this or that?
I doubt it....and that's my point!
re: Jim Leff
no, i wouldn't. though i'd certainly prefer lovingly cooked liver to carelessly cooked this or that!
re: wleatherette
Then we agree. It's the love, not the liver. And the love has everything to do with the food right in front of me and how it was cooked. A specific. Not a general category.
re: Jim Leff
The thinner hamburger is not fast food. It's a regional thing. There's a guy named Ron in Tulsa who made the best hamburgers ever. His restaurant (photo below) looked like a cowshed and it would be jammed with people waiting for a seat. Rich lawyers sitting next to construction workers on lunch break. Ron was a genius cook and he put each burger through about ten steps. Meat was pounded flat, seasoned with salt and spices, coated with lard using a paintbrush, cooked on a superhot grill (500 degrees), steamed under a dome. I like my burgers extra rare and this is much harder to do , so Ron took it as a challenge and he gave me the best burgers I have ever tasted. Now this style of burger is flat and very thin (about a third of an inch thick) and as big as an old 45 RPM record. The meat is succulent and juicy and melts in with the cheese. The best chef in New York could not make a better burger. Ron doesnt cook any more but there are now seven branches. Ron developed a unique franchise system. He gave each of his kids a branch, and his wife got the busiest branch, downtown.
re: Brian S
Hey Brian, if you haven't already tried it I strongly recommend Bosna Express in Ridgewood for thin burgers. Not your classic beef burger but incredibly good.
re: Bob Martinez
I've never tried it but I've wanted to for quite some time. I used to go to Ridgewood for their cool bars, which haven't changed much in fifty years, and I would pass some weird and unwelcoming Serbian clubs near Forest. But I never made it to the Bosnian burger place; I think it wasn't around back then.
I believe that Bosna Express now has a branch in Long Island City.
re: Brian S
brian, you might be interested in the belly buster at hudock's frozen custard stand in salem, nj. it's a big patty done in the thin, flat style. the custard isn't bad either but it's not true frozen custard, merely soft serve.
re: Jim Leff
I liken it to viewing Citizen Kane or Raiders of the Lost Ark, a so-called masterpiece of serious cinema versus escapist entertainment. Sometimes you're in the mood for one, sometimes the other. But both can be satisfying and substantial.
I've really enjoyed my two trips to the Queens/College Point 5 Guys. Without analyzing it to death, I just dug the burger, especially the slightly crusty exterior of the patty and the way the cheese just glopped over the whole thing. Found the fries to be way too salty, though.
timely report. they just opened in cleveland too and everyone is debating it on the local food forum. mostly favorable. they must be in full expansion mode. i've seen them, but never been to them so i may have to give it a go.
Jim, its good to see you on the manhattan board...
Tang has hit the skids over the last couple of years...I heard they lost the old guy that was their chef, now they cater to a much more gringo crowd.... my japanese friends tell me menchanko-tei has gone downhill too. However Hallo Berlin Cart and The "Cart" are in that hood and remain as good as ever...
The Five Guys 55th street started with interminable lines and very inefficient confused service and has remained so at peak hours, the only other one I have been to is at Reagan National in DC. and while its pretty decent (in that hood) would take the burger joint and fries(or even the burger at Astro Diner) anyday over a fives guys any day...
re: Cpalms
Tang has hit the skids, yes, but they were racing pretty darned fast before they put on the brakes, so there's still some velocity left (let's drop this metaphor now, shall we?). I mourn the retirement of the venerable chef, who offered a time capsule of 100 year old Shanghai banquet food. But while the soup dumplings are dryish now, and there are gringo concessions to be found, it's still a pretty good place to eat for lots of things. Lion's head is still spot on, for just one thing.
I've never been to Burger Joint. Terrible lapse.
I stopped by yesterday afternoon for a burger. The place was packed at 4 PM and I had to wait about 20 minutes for my order. The staff were quite friendly despite being totally swamped with work.
If AMPAS decided to give an Academy Award for best hamburger, Five Guys has less chance of winning it than I do of winning ten lotteries in a row. The burger was okay, but fell far short of greatness. I might be influenced by the fact that I ordered it rare and was given well-done. But it's far better than a fast food burger. The two thin patties that composed the burger were hand-shaped and composed of good, steaky meat. Oh, and the fries (which I didn't eat but which I saw on every table but mine) looked great.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries
43 W 55th St, New York, NY 10019
re: Brian S
i believe that five guys ONLY serves their burgers well done.
i had some at one of the connecticut locations; nice, better than normal fast food, but i don't have to race back any time soon.
i thought the fries were better than the burgers.
re: bob gaj
There is a sign to that effect, but I asked the woman if they could make it rare for me, she said they could, and I asked her to please make it rare. If they make it only well done, that's a shame. It's a sure-fire way to ruin good beef.
I had 5 guys this w/e for the first time. Couple of things: the burger itself is very tasty. slightly charred on the outside, juicy inside. if you like rare burgers, this is not the place for you. my beef with the burger lies in the bun, not the fresh patty. The bun is too big for the single patty (I recommend the double) which is called the little burger. If the bun were toasted, I think it would have been much better. just too much bread! now, the fries are excellent. all in all, much better fries than burger joint but not the burger itself.
re: friday1
Sounds like the midtown store is experiencing the same problems as the one in Brooklyn. Inefficient, long wait times, long lines, and by the time you get your order either the fries or the burger is cold. They need to change their system.
I love 5 Guys...from enjoying it in CT. I rarely ever eat meat burgers because they kind of skeeve me out (gristle) but I love veggie burgers. 5 guys is about the only place where I'll happily eat a Little Bacon Cheeseburger. The burger is fresh and delicious and they deep fry the bacon to perfection. The fries, in my opinion, are spectacular too. I love that they give you way more than you expect to eat. They're brown, crispy and delicious.
I go to NYC to eat...never to catch a show or anything like that...it's all about dragging my SO to places for chow. We're not foodies...but chowhounds and I think 5 guys is a Burger Joint type burger...perhaps better.
I'm hoping NYC loves it so it'll still be there when I'm eating my way through your great city on my next visit. I'll happily stop in for a LBC with fries!
I just went to the newest burger place in Manhattan, Five Guys Burgers. The D.C. based chain just opened up a shop on 55th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in NYC. I had conducted some reconaissance a few weeks back and popped in to check it out. It looked promising and didn't disappoint tonight.
First, they have a pretty small menu on burgers are the main focus. They do offer hot dogs, grilled cheese and a veggie (dog?). They have two sizes of fries and a variety of Coke products. There are a couple of wooden barrels with salted peanuts in the shell and metal buckets to scoop with and bring back to your table. A dry erase board on the wall said that the potatoes for the fries were from F(?), Idaho today. I couldn't make out the name of the town, but it began with the letter F.
They have a sign that says they cook the burgers well done unless requested otherwise. I took a chance and let them do it their way. I ordered a cheeseburger with sauteed mushrooms and a small fry. The burger took a few minutes on the flat top and a cheeseburger is actually what most places would consider a double cheeseburger: two patties and two slices of cheese. I got it to go and ate it back at my desk at work. The counter man gave me a large fry by mistake which I happily consumed. They also had malt vinegar with which I filled a couple of plastic to go containers.
This burger worked for me on a number of levels. I was worried about how walking through the cold city night would affect the flavor and/or texture, but I had nothing to worry about. For starters, the bun was a sturdy sesame seeded beauty that was soft, yet held up nicely. The meat itself was very juicy and when I went to fork a piece of it, some juice squirted out. I was very happy. Yes, I ate it and the fries with a fork and knife. The cheese and mushrooms added some gooey and earthy flavor, respectively, without masking the flavor of the beef. No ketchup required on this burger at all.
The fries were very good, with the skins on. They're served in a styrofoam cup, but I would recommend getting them out of there ASAP as it only serves to steam them and takes away from the crispiness. They were nice and browned and still had some of their crispy texture. The malt vinegar was a nice change from ketchup. I was very impressed with this meal and would definitely go back again and again. Most times when I eat a burger, I'm either unimpressed or I like it, but don't feel the need to run back anytime soon. From the first bite, I knew I'd be craving this again.

Application filed May 11,1907. Serial'No. 373,191.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I,- Lorne P. REMANN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Buffalo, in the .county'oi Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Extension- Ladders, of which the following is a' specification.
My invention relates to improvements in extension ladders, and more particularly to extension-ladder" hooks whereby the slidable section of the ladder is section engaging a rung on the stationary section.
retained in an extended position with reference to the stationary section thereof. V r
The objects of'this invention are, the production of a simple, durable and inexpensive ladder-hook which will positiyely engage any desired rung of the stationary section and retain the slidable section of the ladder in extended position to'any degree desired; to provide ,improved'means for maintaining the outer end of the rider or dog in contact with the free end of i the suspension hoolr; to provide improved means ;for
maintaining thefree end of the suspension-hook in linewith the rungs of the stationary section of the ladder; and to otherwise improve on extension-ladder hooks so that the several parts may actfreely, and whereby a durable ladder is produced which can be conveniently and easily adjustedv to any height within certain limits. I
Theinvention consists in the construction, arrange- 'ment, and combination of parts to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. v V
In the accompanying drawings, in which, similar numerals of reference refer to similar parts,-Figure 1 is a front elevation of partsof the ladder sections and the ladder-hooks on the slidable section. Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section through one of the ladder-hooks and the rail to which it is secured. Fig. 3 is .i perspective View of'a portion of each ladder section and one of the ladder-hooks on the slidable Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the retainer-housing and the lower end of the suspension-hook, showing the lattcr engaging the end of the expansion-spring. 5 is a transverse vertical section on line av' s,

The ladder comprises two sections, one being the stationary or lower section 1, and the other the slid able or upper section Zadaptcd in be elevated on the stationary section for adjusting the ladder to any manner. Secured to the side-rails of the slidable sections are m'etallic retainer-housings 3 in which the lower ends of ladder hooks 4 are pivot-ally secured.
.60 height desired within 'certainlimits, The 'sections' i may be held together in any ordinary or approved Each of said housings comprise two parts,one a back-plate 5 secured to the inner face oE-a' side rail,
and the other a cover 6. Each back plate has a circular flange- 7 cast integrally therewith, a stud 8 whose axis is coincident with that of said flange and whose outer end extends beyond'the edge of the latter, and a. web 9.connecting the stud with said fiangeand serving as an abutment, as will presently appear. In this manner, a'parti-circular or segmentalpocket 10 is formed between said stud'and flange, in which is located a spiral spring 11 abutting with one end against the said abutment.
The cover of the retainer-housing comprises a front wall 12 and side walls 13 whichbear with their inner ed ges against the back-plate, and a tail-piece 14 in a plane beyond the inneredges of the side walls; so that when the cover is applied, the said tail-piece bears, against the inner ride of the rail to which the housing is applied. Said tail-pieceis thereiorein'line with the back-plate and has a screw-hole 15 through which is passed a screw that enters the side rail and securely fastens the lower end of the cover.
trude from the inner edges of the side-walls thereof at their upper ends, and said hooks are passed through apertures 17 in the back plate and enter sockets 18in the side rail formed by gouging out the latter in rear The upper end of each cover is secured by mcansof hooks 16 that pro-' The suspension-hooks are designated by the numeral 20, each having an aperture 21 at its inner end into which fits the stud of the cooperating back-plate and 9. lug 22 on its inner side which enters the'segmen tal pocket in said back plate, between which lug and the abutment 8, the spiral spring 11 is interposed. By means of these springs, the outer or upper ends of the suspension-hooks are maintained in a position to contact with the rungs. of the stationary section of the ladder when the slidable section is being elevated, and
the inner edges of said hooks strike against the upper ends of the inner side walls, as shown at 23, Fig. 3. In this manner, the extent to which the hooks are forced inward by the springs 11 is limited. Each suspension hook comprises a shank .24, a hook portion 25 opening downward, and a cam-face 26 inclined upwardly and forwardly from the outer end of said hookportion. By reason of the shank 24 of the hooks bearing' against the inner side walls of the housings, the camfaces are positioned to engage the rungs oi the stationary section of the ladder when the slidable section is being elevated and thus cause forward deflection of the hooks against the actions of the springs 11.
La I11 order that the slidable section of the ladder may be lowered without the suspension-hooks thereon 'en gaging the rungs of the stationary section, each hook' has a rider or dog 27 pivotally attached thereto between its hook-portion and its pivotal point, as at 28. -The outer or free ends of these riders or dogs extend up-' Ward beyond the lower ends of the cam faces on the hooks, so that when the slidable section of the ladder is being elevated, they are engaged by the rungs of the stationary section to permit the hooks to be engaged with any desired rung of the last named section, in a manner common to ladders of this type; and upon lowering the slidable section on thestationary section, the outer curved edges 29 of said. riders or dogs serve to deflect the hooks so as to pass over the rungs without engaging them. 1
At the points of connection ofthe riders or dogs with the shanks of the suspension-hooks, I increase the thickness of the shanks, and in each form a part i-c'ir-" cular or-segmental pocket or depression 30, a boss 31 arranged centrally in said pocket or depression and connected with the outer defining walls of the pocket or depression by a web 32 which serves as an abutment for one end of a spiral spring 33 situated in said pocket and having its other end engaged by a lug 34 extending into said pocket from the inner side of the cooperating rider or dog. The springsin the depressions of both hooks act against thetlugs34 of the dogs to hold the outer free ends of the latter in contact with the ends of the hook-portions of the suspension-hooks, and upon the said dogs being depressed when the ends thereof engage a rung of the stationary ladder, said springs yield and recover themselves as soon as the dogs clear said rung, thereby forcing the ends of the' dogs in contact with the hooks to be engaged by the next rung. V "l The operation of ladders of this type is apparent to tionary section and a'slidable section, of meaps for supporting said slidable section in an extended position on 'the stationary section comprising suspension-hooks, and.
retainer-housings in which said hooks are pivotally secured, said housings consisting of apertured plates secured to the rails of the slidable section, covers having each a hook at one end which extend through the aperture of the cooperating plate and engage behindthe latter, and means for securing the opposite ends of the covers to said rails.

HOISINGTON - In December of 2010, Hoisington High School Principal Meg Wilson was approached by Sue Kidd, Kansas Character Education Initiative coordinator, at the National Character Education Conference in San Francisco to co-chair the Kansas state character education development committee in its infancy. The committee was charged with developing K-12 standards for schools to guide the process of integrating social and emotional character development for Kansas. The committee work began in January of 2011 and with diligent efforts throughout the past 14 months has reached a final product approved by the Kansas State Board of Education.

The Principles of Agriculture Economics class at Barton Community College is currently exploring consumer choices and how they make those choices when selecting foodstuffs at the store. This discussion also includes the direct buyers of crops and livestock off the farm and ranch. It is helpful to remember that while economics is rife with numbers, charts, and statistics, economics is at its core a social science trying to explain and predict human behavior. This week's column explains how these choices made. Next week - how does agriculture respond?

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman pits the 2013

Before hitting the road, the engine placements of both competing sedans are
compared against segment contemporaries such the Cadillac ATS & BMW's 335i.
Why? Because while both competitors are AWD, they start life as FWD. As a
result, both vehicles have unusual engine placements. A mix of limit

New Volvos Intense Driving Tests
Hällered, a fenced-in 7 million m² area an hour away from Gothenburg,
Sweden, is Volvo Cars main testing facility. The track stretches 26 km,
consisting of 15 different test tracks designed to simulate every type of
road surface and weather condition a car can be subjected to during its
long life time, including a fully-equipped public highway within the area.
The tests are carefully planned and computer monitored. In just a few
months, cars are aged as much as during the entire anticipated lifetime of
the vehicles in normal traffic, thanks to test drivers working around the
clock. The car's active safety system is also tested at the facility. A
special rig has been developed just to test the Pedestrian Detection system
that should detect pedestrians and apply the brakes if the driver does not
react in time.

Volvo S60 vs Audi A4 vs BMW 3 Series review - Auto Express
Full review:
The new Volvo faces some tough competition. The BMW 3-Series is our current
class champ, combining engaging driving dynamics with top-notch quality,
low running costs and a line-up of efficient engines.
Joining it is the Audi A4, which sets the standard with its classy looks,
fantastic cabin and composed chassis. So, will the usual suspects overwhelm
the S60 -- or can the new kid on the block cause a major upset?

2011 Volvo S60: Sportiest and Most Dynamic Volvo Ever!
"City Safety" meets "chill city" as Volvo re-invents itself to allow safety
and style to co-exist exceptionally in their latest project. Calm, cool and
collective were my initial thoughts upon driving the all-new Volvo S60
sports sedan. It's a very chill vehicle that looks great while creating
emotional feedback and response. It's calm and confident due to the
standard cadre of technological safety enhancements. A perennial leader in
automotive safety advancements, Volvo is always raising the bar beyond
traditional expectations. Now imagine if every vehicle on the road came
standard with City Safety and Pedestrian Detection. Our kids, family and
friends would be much safer on the roads!

This keeps my face virtually clear...except when I am hormonal. Doesn't irritate my skin even when I leave it on for 5 minutes. When I do get a few blemishes, it lessens the time they are out and about.

I like how clean feeling, minty, and fresh this product makes my face feel. Works equally well as a wash or mask but mostly I just use it as a wash. Keeps my skin clean for the most part.
After reading many reviews on this, I tried it out, and oh my, was it great! Gentle, but effective. I went to sleep after washing my face with this, and literally the next mornign, my 3 breakout areas were dried up (in a good way) and clear! This makes you feel clean, without drying your skin or making it tight. I am so happy I went off of the expensive, designer products and went back to Neutrogena. I love this stuff!

I've used this product for a 3 months now, and I can definitely see the difference it had made to my face. It doesn't dry up up the face nor make it oily. And I really like the smell of it.
More reviews by jenniferjanson
I'm glad this product works so well for so many women but it didn't work that great for me.
This makes a refreshing mask, thanks to the menthol (which gives a cool, pepperminty feeling) but did not control my oil the way I had hoped. When I use boring, old Mary Kay's clay "clarifying" mask for 10 minutes at night I have no oily skin in the morning. Unfortunately I always have oily skin the morning after I use Neutrogena's for the same amount of time (which is the time suggested on the back of Neutrogena's label).
Also, I will no longer use this product as a facial cleanser to remove eye make-up. My eyes stung for half an hour the time I did, due to the benzoyl peroxide.
I've tried tons and tons of acne/skincare products for my face from dirt cheap to embarrassingly expensive. I don't have bad acne, but I have a ton of bumps under the surface of my skin around my chin and break out occasionally around the tops of my cheeks and around my nose as a result of makeup. This product is really the best thing I have found that works in a couple of amazing ways. It's a great creamy everyday cleanser, but what I really love most about it is that it works as a deep cleaning mask when you leave it on for a few minutes and having one product that doubles as both also saves you $$$. After I use this stuff I can really feel how clean my skin is and it is so so soft. If you're one of those people that isn't really into fancy skincare products and don't want to spend a ton of time dealing with step after step of other products (like me) but still want awesome results, this stuff is definitely what you'll want to pick up!
*As a note, if you're going to use this stuff always wipe the opening of the bottle off with a tissue or something after you use it because it hardens when it dries which can clog up the bottle and make it seriously frustrating to get any product out after a while.

I got this product as a present and to my surprise, I actually really like this product. As a cleanser, it really cleans my skin well and it leaves a tingling sensation behind which I really like. As a mask, i feel it really does treat my oily skin and draws out impurities. I just really like the tingling sensation it leaves behind. After using this, I noticed that it really helps with acne and best of all, it controls the oiliness of my face. After masking with this, the next few days my face feels super clean and oil-free. I usually need to use blotting papers during the day but after using this, my blotting paper has been sitting at the bottom of my drawer.
The price of this thing is truly dirt cheap for such an amazing product. The packaging is practical. I mean, it's not anything fancy or cute but it's practical.
Overall an amazing product and definitely worth trying. If you have oily skin or acne-pron skin you really should check this one out. I helped my oily skin and treated my breakouts. Will repurchase and really love this stuff. This is also perfect for traveling since all you need is one bottle for both cleansing and masking!
I freaking love this cleanser. Neutrogena cleansers have never worked for me before, but this one is a gem. One of the main ingredients is bentonite clay which is really good for drawing out impurities (just google "bentonite clay acne"). I use this twice a day. Rinse face with warm water. Dry hands. Apply even layer all over face. Brush my teeth. Wash cleanser off. The time it takes to brush my teeth is just enough time for the cleanser to get in there and do its thang. I've never left it on much longer than that..the instructions say to leave on "up to 5 minutes" so I assume a couple minutes is sufficient. Leaves behind a cool minty skin feeling without drying out my reactive, acne-prone skin. Love love love this.

My face became really acne prone after a week of taking Provera. I had 7 pimples on my face within 3 days and I've never had more than 2 at once (and that only happened a week before my period). My grandmother got me ProActiv and that made me breakout worse. After seeing a video in YouTube about this product I decided to give it a try with Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Gel. I used the cleanser two times a day and twice a week I used it as a mask. Within a week my face was visibly smoother, the breakouts I had were almost gone and the new ones that appeared while using this were smaller and healed faster. The mask is amazing. I use it when my face gets really oily. It is a bit drying but if you're using a good moisturizer after this its quite manageable. I'm already on my second bottle. Now that my face has cleared up I'm using a scrub in the morning to get rid of the scars and this cleanser in the morning. I clearly recommend this to people with acne prone skin.
i love this for the morning, This is not for sensitive skin... i have older skin(52yrs old) and it works very will for me. my 30 yr old daughter and 31 yr old son tried.. they have sensitive skin, and they broke out, and had spots. Me, i will continue to use and love! i have skin i can only describe as hide of the dreaded nauga!! (naugahide? get it?? hehehehe)

I absolutely love seeing Bozie continue to take his game to new levels. For so long now, I have been defending him, as everyone and his Brother takes pot shots at him. Well... How do you like them Apples gents? Bozie tied for 21st OVERALL in points as of today. He's currently ahead of Getzlaf, Ovechkin, Toews, Kane, etc. etc. The kid is money on a breakaway, one of the best face-off guys in the game. And he's a good smart kid who has the potential to become a leader in the dressing room. Everyone, and I mean everyone, bashed him (and Nonis) for his $4.25M contract. Well, how do you like your crow gents? Great contract. Great player. Great future with this team.
I have to say... Very impressive interview from Dion on LeafsTV. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. He's clearly taken huge strides in becoming the Captain of this team, and dealing with the media. He hasn't really had a great year thus far, but let's hope he can build off tonight's game/interview, and help push this team into the playoffs.
Go Leafs!
I hope all you negative Nancy's from this afternoon like your crow with lots of salt. Hahaha! Go Leafs!
@Cameron19 @MaxwellHowe @Dogger Me too. Our PP is, admittedly, a little embarrassing. The Leafs desperately need a puck moving defenseman who has confidence. We haven't had one since Kaberle. Reilly and Gardiner aren't ready. Phaneuf is just horrible on the PP. And Franson doesn't have the foot speed.
@MaxwellHowe @.Kong. Max - That's half the problem as well. You'll hear the players often talk about not letting the highs be too high, and the lows be too low. This is exactly right. And yet I see this on this board with every win and loss. Toronto fans absolutely have this weird sense of entitlement. As though the Leafs "Owe them a Cup" for all their years as fans. Puh-lease. This team doesn't owe them squat. They owe it to themselves to play to the best of their ability, and nothing more.
@Dangle_My_Berries Dangle - Really? You think this is about consistency and effort? Have you ever played competitive sports? Well, I do, and I can tell you that MOST of the time, the problem is not effort. More often it is about the myriad of other factors that make or break a team. Things like... Chemistry, systems, lack of talent, nervousness (a HUGE factor with the monster that is the Toronto fans/media breathing down your neck), etc. The problem is not that the guys aren't trying hard enough. The Leafs face the best of every team in the NHL. Why? Because more than half of the NHL is from Canada, and Toronto is the epicenter of Hockey. And if you think that is an 'excuse' and not a factor, then you know nothing about the game. On top of that, as Carlyle aptly suggests in interviews, the other team is also desperately trying to win. And oftentimes, they have more talent, or more momentum, or whatever. But this whole "lack of effort" line that I keep hearing, is complete nonsense.
My boss at work - The first thing out of his mouth regarding the Leafs, of which he claims to be a fan - is ALWAYS, without fail, sour toned. Example: Following a win - "Well, we won, but only because of good goaltending. Cause Kessel is garbage, they have no heart, and..." blah, blah, blah. Oh my God. Please shoot me in the face. That is not a fan. That is someone who uses the Leafs to practice his self-loathing attitude.
Cameron19 - Thank God you're here some days. Honestly, imagine if all of us were in a room together, and everyone was whining and mad about a loss (that, by the way, occurred, what? 4 days ago). I'd leave you whiny bastards behind in about 3 seconds. Here's a tip for you... Nothing good ever comes of languishing in negativity.
HHT - You seem like that guy, that in real life, nobody wants around. But nobody wants to tell you because they will face your negative angry tone for the rest of their lives.
Holy crap. Where do all these nagative, sardonic people come from? This board is a bunch of whiny, self-entitled, cry babies today. No wonder why Wendelsway left. We just beat the Tampa Bay Lighting 5-2. Seriously guys? You're still, angry? about the 9-2 loss? Who even gets angry over something like that? I felt sick to my stomach. I felt bad for the guys. But angry? I'm sorry, but if a loss makes you angry, you're a whiny bitch.
@DeclanK @.Kong. Declan? I'm a little surprised to see you so negative. The 9-2 loss must have really got to you. Truth be told, I'm not surprised the Leafs have a 10-8 record. To me, they are slightly better than a .500 Hockey club.
@Mo29 Lupes is my favourite Leaf. Such a shame he can't stay healthy, but clearly he is made of glass.
@Burtonboy This seems odd to me. Veteran players don't just get assigned to a farm team for conditioning unless the situation looks bad. Could you imagine the Leafs assigning Lupul to the Marlies for conditioning?
I'm curious... Is last night a sign that this Leafs team is maturing? Are they learning how to weather the storm, and find a way to dig themselves out, instead of cave to the pressure? Interestingly, I never allowed myself to get disappointed after the 9-2 drubbing. Is this a sign that I'm maturing as a fan?
Questions, questions.
Jonas. I have much respect for the job you've done up to this point in your career. Please don't resort to bullying players. It's beneath you. Kessel simply doesn't have a lot of confidence. You can see it in every interview. That's fine. He'll never be the leader in the room. But why call him out on that and embarrass him? It's unnecessary. I credit you for knowing (and reporting on) the players on a personal level. It's what makes you a promising talent. But please don't lower yourself to Howard Berger type of antagonistic reporting. You'll do much better by gaining the respect of players through integrity.
Anthony, if you are not already doing so, you need to volunteer to coach a small league hockey team. You have an excellent Hockey mind. Do it for fun, and see where it goes - You just never know where these things can lead (i.e. Brian Murray story above).
@vinoa @rockydundas Good one! haha. Still, the best one ever, was Phil throwing the bear - Posted in the playoffs a couple seasons ago. I still crack up when I see it.
ES? What's ES? (I'm assuming it's an advanced stat indicator, but I'm not certain)
The boyz outta be gearing up for a good bag skate this morning...
@Knights2Leafs @.Kong. @Anthony Petrielli @hometeem I admit it seems more probable that the Leafs trade Gardiner in a deal similar to the Schenn-JVR deal. That said, if Gardiner were to continue to develop and become a star in his own right, Rielly could bring in a 1C a whole grade above JVR. Something along the lines of a Claude Giroux, or a Tyler Seguin - A Young up and coming star 1C.
@Fish Head @.Kong. @MaxwellHowe That's a fair counterpoint. If Lupes was healthy for the 20 games leading up to the deadline, he could prove to be a good rental. That said, an oft injured Lupul may still be of more value to the dressing room, than a 2nd round pick. He's the virtual Captain of this team, and the official spokesman. It would be hard to find a good replacement.
@Anthony Petrielli @hometeem I believe it is inevitable, that the Leafs will trade one of either Gardiner of Reilly. I'm sure there have been offers as well, as who wouldn't want one of those two to anchor the offense on their D. That said, the Leafs are being smart, and building the players into future stars. This is good asset management, as either of those two could bring in a big haul one day.
@Fish Head @MaxwellHowe Unfortunately Fish, Lupul is apparently made of glass. That's a tough buy for any team.
I'm not convinced that Kadri has stolen the #1 spot from Bozak as of yet, but I fully agree that Kadri is a better option on the #1PP unit.
I like the comparison of players against those in their draft year. It's a good way to gain perspective on what you have.
Another interesting read Anthony. One thing worth mentioning regarding how long it takes to build through the draft... The rebuild doesn't start the year the team drafts 1st overall... It starts the years before that, when teams trade away their talent, which allows them to obtain the first overall pick.
Yes! A new Notebook! *Anxiously scrolls to the top to read*
@mlclearwater I agree with deedrag... He's lacking a little confidence in his shot right now. He's missed several great chances lately. But the good news is... He is getting chances.
@Burtonboy Dion had arguably his best game of the year. He was very noticeable physically, wasn't giving away zone entries, and played Toewes very hard. Great game overall. I was happy to see him bounce back after a slow start to the season.
Awesome effort tonight by the boyz! Made me proud! Go Leafs!
By the way, I couldn't agree more regarding coaching (or, more specifically, Carlyle) and Leafs Management. I mean, did Frattin get caught F'ing Randy's daughter or something?
Anthony... We're going to miss you here when you are the next big writer in the MSM. Great piece. Excellent insight. Keep up the good work.
@RandomScrub It's never a bad time to watch that victory.
Great piece, by the way, Anthony. I think you hit the nail on the head with regards to the Leafs giving ice time to players based on 'Roles'. That sums up perfectly why the Leafs choose to dress two goons some nights instead of our best players. Love it or hate it, it's the way Carlyle wants to run this team.
For what it's worth, I don't agree with the philosophy.
@Alec Brownscombe @leafersutherland @Belfour20 I read the arguments for and against, and I came to the same conclusion. When I think of MVP, I think of who is playing 'Lights Out Hockey', and while Bernier's been outstanding for us some nights, Kessel has been on fire all season long.
As much as it absolutely pains me to say it... For all those Bozie haters out there... I told you so.
Leafs are the hottest team in the NHL in the last 10 games: 8-1-1
@Cameron19 Have fun!
@mcloki I'd buy a MLHS shirt, but not that one. I don't relate to the phrase whatsoever. That said, I do love that picture of Carlyle with the pope hat.
@Spayde_D @Knights2Leafs The other point to be mindful of is that people think its simply math... Flames currently good at pressuring the puck, with limited offense capabilities. Simply sprinkle in talent in the top six, and then they'll be able to maintain the puck pressure, but score on all opportunities. Fat chance. This is not simple math. The high end talent may not want to play high octane pressure offense. They may prefer to play rush hockey, you know, like the Leafs.
@dlb eh I think we owed the Flames one... Especially after the heists we've pulled off on them (Gilmour/Phanuef for a bag of pucks)
@Cameron19 @dlb eh @Dan39 Guys like Weber, Kieth or Bouw, are easy picks for the Management team, as they have the full support of the media, and thus won't have to face any scrutiny should they tank.
@NotInsane @Airfreshener @Burtonboy Agreed... But where has Frannie's offense gone this year? It's completely dried up apparently.
@NotInsane @Burtonboy You say that now... But when speedy NHL forwards fly around Fraser for scoring chances, we might all be singing a different tune.
Reilly has really proved himself.
Alas, I too believe in the long run, we'll be better off with Fraser in the lineup, especially when we meet teams like the Bruins.
Ultimately, the decision as to who to dress may simply come down to match-ups.
@Murph2417 @.Kong. @Biltmore @ingy56 Murph... The Leafs care what I think. I'm calling Nonis right now using my direct line.
@Biltmore @ingy56 @.Kong. True (Re: Chara), although as of this moment in time Chara >> Phaneuf. Next year, or the year after.... Maybe Phaneuf > Chara, maybe.
Anyway, I'm not happy with $7M for Phaneuf, but I could swallow it with less term. Having said that, unless a better option pops up (not bloody likely), he's going to get both.
@B_Leaf The problem for this team right now is... We're too talented. We haven't had to face adversity, and dig deep. That's what makes a team better. You saw it last year after we had some bad stretches. The team battled back and become stronger as a result. This year, this team simply scores at will, which sort of bails them out of having to deal with adversity. So in a sense, our talent has sort of delayed our development.
Having said that, it's a long season, and there's a better chance that at some point we're going to struggle. Our game will come.
