I was sent a sample of Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Acne Wash with an order I placed with Ulta a couple of weeks ago. I've read only a couple of reviews on this product so didn't quite have any expectations or have any idea on what to expect! Unfortunately, I was not very impressed by this product at all.
For starters, the product claims to be a 'foaming scrub' which would leave you to believe that once applied to your face with water it will foam up, right? well either I was sent a dud sample or it just simply doesn't foam because even after adding more water to my face when washing it, the gel still didn't foam up.
as you can see by the picture above, there are also little micro beads which are meant to exfoliate your face as well as cleanse. I thought this was going to be an added bonus since you basically get two products in one! but after washing the product off, my face felt extremely dry and as if a layer of film was left on top (yuck!) i fixed the dryness issue by applying a generous amount of moisturizer afterwards but that was a major turn-off for me!
needless to say, this product was not what it claims to be. thankfully I was only given a sample size and didn't waste my money with a full size bottle. have any of you ever tried this product? what are your thoughts?

I would never think to use neutrogena skin care i have never tried it... But it doesnt sound that appealing i wouldnt object to trying another products from their range i dont think i would try this one though!! Xx

i use a moisturizer by neutrogena and love it! so was quite surprised their skin care isn't up to par :S thank you for reading lovely :) xox
DeleteShame you didn't like it! I haven't had good luck with Neutrogena cleansers-they always leave a film behind on my face! Thanks for the post xoxo
ReplyDeleteexactly! my sister uses just the plain neutrogena face cleanser and it's starting to break her out :S
Deletedefinitely won't be trying it again haha xox
I really liked the sound of this but not so much after reading your review! It's so annoying when a product fails to deliver on pretty much everything it claims but at least you haven't wasted any money on it xx

i know thank goodness i only had a sample! neutrogena seems to be slacking in their skin care range but i really love their moisturizers so that makes up for it :) thanks for reading/commenting lovely! xox
DeleteI've always picked this up in my local store, umming and arring over it. Won't get it now, thank you :) xx
ReplyDeletehaha oh you're welcome darl :) xoxo
DeleteI actually swear by this foaming scrub and the matching facial cleanser. I've been using them both for over two years now and they work wonders for my combination oily skin. I agree that the foaming scrub doesn't "foam up", but I certainly don't need a large amount to work up a generous lather. I've never had problems with dryness either as moisturising (with a neutrogena product as well) is part of my normal morning routine, so maybe it just works differently for different skin types. I don't mean to sound like a neutrogena campaign, in fact I've tried some of their other cleansers/scrubs in the past and broken out in a nasty rash, but their grapefruit range is a staple for me so I thought I'd put my two cents in. :P
ReplyDeleteSorry it didn't work out for you hun! xx
yeah i use their moisturizer and love it! but haven't had good luck with their cleansers :( must work for some skin types and not others as is true with most products lol thanks for commenting lovely :) xoxo
DeleteHow frustrating this didn't work for you, I've used the neutrogena moisturisers before and loved them but not tried this - think ill give it a miss after your review :) x
