Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub Review

This product was a good cleanser - left my face feeling clean, but it was too gentle to be a good scrub/exfoliater. It is a lightly scented, white cream with little microbeads in it. This does mean it was good for everyday use or for removing makeup, but I like a more gritty scrub that makes it feels like it is doing a deeper clean and removing dirt/oil and dead skin.

My use of this product ended however once I found out it contained microbeads - which enter the waterways, are eaten by marine life and can enter the food chain.

I think this has to be one or the better supermarket bought facial scrubs that I've tried. It is pleasant in smell and most importantly it is gentle, as stated on the front of the tube. I really like the 'refreshed' feeling it gives my skin after each use. It buffs really well without being too harsh, and leaves my face extra smooth. I think the 'gentle' statement on the front also refers to the fact that the product doesn't irritate sensitive skin. I react to many products but this one was fine for me. The fact that this is oil free is good for me as my skin can be quite oily at times.

This is a basic no-frills scrub. I don't really like the beads in the product because I find they're quite large but this scrub does clean well. Just be careful not to get too close to your eyes.

I found this to be an okay product. Its not very exfoliating, but made my skin feel fresh and tight. Dried out my oily skin, which in turn made my t zone even more oily than before. I chucked out this bottle after 2 weeks use.

I'm not sure where I keep acquiring minis of this from but I always seem to have one or two in my stash. Now the words 'deep clean' and 'scrub'' should make me put it down and back away immediately! Whilst is does appear to be gentle (it's an opaque cream with small 'bits' in it), my skin does not like this at all! Each time I used this on my face, I got a hot, burning sensation and couldn't get it off fast enough. Rather than waste it, I ended up using it on my body and feet instead! My feet liked it but I wouldn't use it on my face again. It also contains micro beads so I'm not even sure if it is available anymore or has been reformulated without them? Either way, it's a pass from me.

I love Neutrogena products however I just did not click with this one. For some reason this scrub reacted with my skin badly. I feel that it was no so gentle and it irritated my face badly. The reaction happened after first use and I didn't use it again after that. I feel like it did give my skin a deep clean which some scrub's don't. I wish that this was suitable for my skin type.

I do not believe that is would be suitable for super sentitive skin.

Neutrogena is one of my fav brands that I love to use for my skin imperfections, I do trust the brand and love their range of products they have.

Unfortunately I did find this particular product to be too harsh for my skin. I suffer from sensitive/dry skin and from time to time get ezcema on my skin azwell as redness. This creme was amazing to apply, soft and silky, lightweight, but when it was on my skin it felt like a burning sensation and it was quite irritant and uncomfortable. I do love the Neutrogena range and will continue to use their products, but I will pass on this one. Maybe more suited for people that dont have sensitive skin ;)

I'm a fan of the Neutrogena brand so I thought I would give their daily scrub a go as it's quite reasonably priced. It felt like it gave a good deep clean and my skin did feel softer and smoother. However I have quite sensitive skin so I definitely couldn't use this every day as it made my skin too dry & red. I resorted to using it every couple of days and would use a more gentle cleanser on the days in between.

Facial and body scrubs are my favourite beauty things to use so I was keen to try this scrub.

I usually use a scrub a couple of times a week and this one states it is gentle enough to use every day. I took this as a challenge and tried it. I used it in the shower in the mornings. The first 3 mornings went really well. My skin felt amazing and it sort of woke it up and readied it for my make up of the day. My skin is not usually sensitive but I found I could not use it on the 4th day as my skin was starting to look a bit sort of worn. A bit dry really.

I did like the results but I will only use this maybe every other day to see how that goes.

The Neutrogena gentle scrub does give a gentle but deep clean but I do find this product quite hard to wash off. It is a thick gritty cream that rubs into the skin well but can become difficult to remove but it does have a pleasant smell and works hard to scrub the skin.
