Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub Review

I have been generously gifted a few sample sizes of this. As a fan of Neutrogena, I was excited at the idea of trying this - as I love a good exfoliator.

This definitely does what it says it will; it definitely removes the first and grime from you face. I typically use this after using makeup remover and this gets rid of any makeup that my remover may have missed. The scent is subtle and fresh and isn't irritating to my skin at all.

The exfoliating particles aren't overly rough and I like the feeling of this being massaged into my face. Unfortunately after using this my skin feels like a desert. I have naturally dry skin and this seems to sap out any moisture in my skin. Even if I use my most hydrating moisturisers after this, my skin still feels dry and tight.

Because of that I won't continue to use this and definitely won't repurchase it. I gave a tube of it to my sister (who has oily skin), and she loves it - so if you have oily skin then perhaps this will be something you want to try.

I really liked the smell of this scrub, delicious! Don't need to use a lot of product to clean your whole face, so it is a good economic scrub. Cleaned my face effectively & left it feeling good.

I dont like the container, as I prefer a flip cap lid for products like this. I'd like to have confirmation from Neutrogena that the small orange beads break down quickly - I dont like the idea that fish may die from me washing my face, although I like that fish die so I can feed my face.

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.

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 received a Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub sample as part of December's Beauty Box.

Comes in a cute 15ml squeezy tube where you can get every last drop as it sits on the lid.

I am use to a gel cleaners (without beads) so was apprehensive before using.

The cleansing scrub is a white cream with orange micro beads and has a light citrus scent to it. Noit overpowering and cannot smell after.

I removed my eye make up before I showered. When I cleansed my face with Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub, I wet my face first and squeezed it into my hands then applied to my face. I rubbed my hands in a gentle circular motion (not around the eye area) and then rinsed off. I liked the way the scrub felt on my face. From habit with my gel cleanser, I also added a little water to my hands first and rubbed together before applying.

My face feels very smooth, soft and clean after scrubbing.

I always tone and moisturise or serum and moisturise after.

I picked up a trial pack of this from the December BRBB. It has an orange citrus smell, which I think is yummy.

The texture of this is grainy and feels a bit rough. When you are squeezing the white cream with orange beads out of the tube it does hold its shape. This exfoliates well and is customised to you depending on how hard you press/rub the product against your skin. While it does clean my face it didn’t foam much for me maybe I didn’t add enough water to it, however it did mean could see where I scrubbed. It also contains acids that help the beads remove the skin. It says beta hydroxyl on the front but the ingredient list has salicylic acid. You have to rinse this one off really well, I think it is to make sure the beads are gone. My face did feel clean and smooth after using it. This is not a product that I would use everyday but it is nice in rotation with other cleansers.

Would I repurchase? It is a product that I would consider for repurchase depending on my needs. It is not an immediate repurchase as I do have other options that I would like to try.

Neutrogena's Deep Clean Gentle Scrub was one of the first scrubs I purchased for myself and I can easily say it's a tried and true product. What initially attracted me to it was partly the Neutrogena brand, as I've had positive experiences with their skincare, and partly the promise of being gentle enough to use every day.

The squeeze-tube packaging allows you to moderate how much product you use, but I found a small dollop of this is all you need. The formula is thick and creamy, less like the traditional scrub but more like a cream facial wash. Once you massage it into your skin you can feel the tiny exfoliating particles gently buffing away at your skin.

This has a slight citrus scent to it that I find really refreshing and this helps make it the perfect scrub to start the day. My skin feels soft to touch without the redness harsher scrubs can give.

I have repurchased this several times and while it isn't my favourite scrub, I would happily use it again and recommend it either for those wanting daily exfolliation or just a gentle scrub to add to their skincare routine that's readily available and good value.

I haven't tried Neutrogena before. This was my first product experience from their range. I was given a mini sample. After using this sample I went on to purchase this at my local super Market.

This scrub comes in a 125 ml. You get a lot of product in one tube. The tube sits on itself. It is made out of plastic. This product comes out of the tube like paste.

The texture of this product is like a lotion with tiny little beads. I'm not sure if they are micro beads or not. I see orange and white beads in this.

I normally wet my face and then apply this to my skin. I love the feeling of a face scrub, it feels like my skin is getting a deep clean. After using this scrub my skin feels softer. I think $14 is reasonable for the amount of product you get in one tube. One tube of this lasted me almost two months. I did enjoy trying this product and I would love to try more.

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.

I recently received several mini versions of this product from subscription boxes and friends, and have been using it over the past few weeks. My overall opinion is mixed, but not for the normal reasons.

The product itself I love! The packaging is simple and pretty, and the product works wonders on my skin. The formula smells delicious, and has little exfoliating beads that are fantastic for removing dead skin. It leaves my skin feeling clean without tight, and cleansed without overly so.

My ONLY dislike about this product is that it contains microbeads, which I am very opposed to because of the environmental damage they cause. I still find it concerning that microbeads are being manufactured. For this reason I will not be purchasing nor recommending to friends, for the sake of the fishies!
