Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub – Review
What it claims:
• A facial scrub with Beta Hydroxy Acid, gentle enough for everyday use
What the Product Does:
• Provides thorough deep pore cleansing yet is gentle on the skin
• Beta Hydroxy Acid cleans deep into pores to remove dirt, oil and make-up residue
• Non-abrasive microbeads gently exfoliate dead skin cells and improve skin tone and texture
• Oil-free, non-comedogenic
How and When To Use It:
Daily, or as needed massage scrub onto moistened skin and rinse. Pat dry. For normal to oily skin types.
Price:
50 ml tube with flip cap 95 Rs.
125 ml tube with flip cap 210 Rs.
Pros:
1. The granules in this scrub are, as claimed, very gentle & non abrasive, quite unlike the rougher walnut or apricot granules in most scrubs. The granules are well rounded, soft and the scrub has a lot of them in high concentration – for effective exfoliation.
2. Gentle enough for daily use, this makes a good facewash substitute. It lathers like a facewash.
3. The packaging is sturdy. I carried this in my handbag all the way to Punjab & back – it stayed shut tight. Besides the tube opening itself is sealed with a metallic foil when you purchase it – it has to be punctured open like those medical cream tubes.
4. It has a strong citrusy – orange fragrance to it which I quite like.
Cons:
1. I do need to use a moisturizer within 30 minutes of using this. It doesn’t dry out my skin as such, but if I don’t use a moisturizer within 30 minutes of using this my skin starts to feel a little taut. Not sure if it is because of the product though, coz most scrubs make my skin feel like that – taut within half an hour of use.
Will I repurchase: Yes, I got this on Rima’s recommendation (she mentioned this in my last Neutrogena face wash review) – I really like this product and use it almost every evening to remove the day’s grime. It is extremely gentle on the skin.
Have you used this?
i have this and use it every day !
ReplyDeleteHi tanveer! question - you think one can use this with TBS facial buffer?
ReplyDeletemarking on my list!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good scrub - but I wouldn't recommend scrubbing your face everyday though. Alternate days is much better.
ReplyDelete@afterglow: The facial buffer is not very gentle so I think it would be better to use a normal cleanser with that buffer to get an "exfoliating" effect. The buffer + the granules in this scrub might be too harsh on the skin.
Great review Tanveer! Haven't used this as yet coz hadn't had a great experience with the facial cleanser. Now a days I'm using Lotus scrub but will give it a try:)

Normally I don't use scrubs because they revolt on it. But I would try this one
ReplyDeleteI've tried using this during summer and it works great! However, during the winter it dried me out big time. A great pick for oily skinned ppl :)
