Review: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub

I am a huge sucker for anything grapefruit scented . . . the citrusy sweet yet bitter scent gets me all the time! I love H20+ Grapefruit Bergamot and Love + Toast Sugar Grapefruit, so when I came across Neutrogena's grapefruit scrub, I was really excited to try it!

I love products with scents - unfortunately, this one doesn't deliver in terms of its grapefruit smell. It's a very chemically scent and not very refreshing.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub powerfully clears blemishes and blackheads with maximum strength Salicylic Acid acne medicine plus an uplifting blast of grapefruit.

With 100% naturally derived grapefruit extract and vitamin C, Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub features gentle microbeads that smooth away roughness without over-drying or irritating your skin.

• Oil-free
• MicroClear®
• Salicylic Acid

As far as its effectiveness as a cleanser, it's okay. I could give or take this one (though I'd probably pass since I don't like the scent). It claims to be foaming but I can never get a nice foamy lather with this product. I've been fortunate post-partum not to have too many blemishes so I can't say whether or not it actually clears it but as far as my blackheads, I think those are here to stay. Only the Biore nosestrips can clear those out!

The microbeads are more like nanobeads - it's definitely very gentle so I don't feel like my skin is truly exfoliated. There are some rough patches that remain after I use this scrub. I haven't noticed any overdrying effects and my skin hasn't broken out because of it though, which is always a plus!

I'll finish it up but I probably won't be repurchasing this after!
