I adore this facewash! From the color to the smell to the way it clears up my skin ! I've been using this facewash for a few months now & haven't been disappointed at all. I love the way it exfoliates my skin and gives me a clean & fresh face.
I bought the Neutrogena Oil-Free Foaming Scrub in Pink Grapefruit, because I was attracted to the pink color! However, I was also curious about how well this would work on my "time of the month" mild acne outbreaks. I must say, the scent is absolutely divine. If you love citrusy scents, you will very much appreciate this product. Some people may be thrown off by this, but it doesn't bother me. In fact, it wakes me right up the instant I smell it.
As for the scrub, it isn't rough and grainy like nut-based formulas (ex: almond or walnut scrubs). It has gentle beads and what feels to be a sugar-like exfoliant which does not irritate my sensitive skin. I apply the scrub to my face with my fingertips and gently exfoliate in a circular motion. It does lather up, but you still feel the scrubbing underneath. I don't use this as a daily facial cleanser, but rather twice a week as an exfoliator. It rinses off very easily and leaves my skin feeling very fresh and glowing.
However, as for its anti-acne benefits, I didn't see much of a difference in terms of alleviating or completely eliminating the spots. I don't think this product has enough acne medication (i.e., salisylic acid) in it to make a drastic difference. So if you suffer from moderate to severe acne, this probably isn't for you. I will continue purchasing this though, since I do like how gently it exfoliates and the scent is practically edible. The price is decent and you do get a good amount of product as well. You certainly don't need to apply very much on your face, so it will last you a long time, if you use it a couple of times a week, like I do.
I only tried the sample for this particular item. It worked well but unfortunatly ran out after abou three days. I am planning to purchase this item and I would recommend it to any one fighting acne.
Purchased this for my sister to use as I had read about this scrub in a magazine and she tried it for 2 weeks and absolutely loves it..
No breakouts in 2 weeks..easily washed off with water..simple to use..great results.
I have oily, mildly acne prone skin and this made me skin HORRIBLE after using it a few times. It looked and felt so bad; blemishes, texture, tone, everything. Neutrogena never helps my acne out much, but it's never done anything like that to my skin. It may have been the scrub/foam combo that was just too much. I don't consider my skin to be sensitive, but if you do the slightest bit..I'd definitely try something else out first.
This cleanser smells great & makes your skin feel really clean. But the effectiveness on the acne side, I didn't really see much of an improvement.
This has to be my favorite Neutrogena product of all time. It smells great, works wonders and just gets better every time. I originaly had a sample and loved it so much went out and got the real product, I have been using it ever since. I really love using it in the shower and such a little bit of product goes a long way. This product clears up my minor breakout and keeps my skin clear. Highly Recommended!
