Review: Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Proofing Smoothing Scrub #gifted

Hello again,

Welcome back to another review! Today I’ll be reviewing this scrub* from Neutrogena, that’s part of their Visibly Clear range. There are a range of products in the Visibly Clear range, if you’d like a review on any of them please message me and let me know! I have a review on the toner coming up soon so stay tuned.

1. High strength spot cleansing formula fights spots deep down into the pores
2. Clinically proven to leave skin’s essential nutrients intact, building up its natural shield to help defend from new breakouts.

Suitable for sensitive skin.

First Impressions:

This smells like citrus and is a gel-type consistency, it’s also pretty sticky. It has little orange and white beads. It’s quite gentle on the skin and the little beads give some texture when you’re exfoliating.

It says use once a day, but I think using this 3 times a week max. is enough.

Washing it off is easy, but sometimes the beads get stuck on your face or neck, so make sure you rinse off thoroughly and use a toner afterwards – to clean up anything that was left over.
What I like:

• Decent

I don’t totally love this scrub, I do this it’s decent and does an ok job.

• Affordable

It retails for $15AUD which is the average price for a drugstore scrub.

• Smell

I don’t mind the citrus smell, I’ve become so accustomed to it from using the Neutrogena face wash consistently haha.

What I don’t like:

• Beads

I find that having the little beads there make it a bit more of a hassle to clean, especially when they get stuck on your skin and don’t come off in the initial wash.

• Not much of difference

After using this for a few weeks, I didn’t find a massive change in my skin, so I’m a bit disappointed in that.
Overall:

I would say this is a decent scrub and if you’re looking for something that exfoliates your skin and is within a certain price point, this may be for you. But if you have skin that’s prone to break outs and you have scarring, you may want to steer clear of this. However, that being said, what didn’t work for my skin, might work for your skin.

I hope you found this review helpful! It was requested by someone from Instagram. If you’re after any certain reviews, please leave me a message on my blog! I get back to all messages that are sent to me and reply ASAP.
