Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit facial wash review

I would describe this as a gel wash that foams lightly on contact with water. As the name suggests, its got a lovely citrussy grapefruit scent to it which I love, as its very refreshing and smells very realistic.

When I was sent this, I had several spots but after just one wash, they felt less inflamed. I tend to get regular hormonal outbreaks, and although this didn't stop me from getting spots, I found that I had less spots than normal and they seemed to clear up a lot quicker.

I find it also helps to stop my face from getting too oily during the day without making my cheeks any drier than normal. The gel is a little too runny for my liking, but otherwise its a great facewash.

Overall I really like this product, especially the refreshing grapefruit scent and although I still prefer a cream cleanser in the evening, its now my go to facewash in the morning.

Have you tried this? What is your favourite product for preventing spots?

    I use a Neutrogena face scrub every day and also have a eye make up remover. I love this brand, I have never tried this one but certainly sounds it would be good for days were the scrub is a little too much! =) xx

    Becky- I saw this in Superdrug so have a look in there if you want to buy one x

    une tasse- I hope you like it x

    Pyxiee- I'm fast becoming a fan of their skincare, I really like the 2 in 1 face wash and mask too. This face wash would definitely be great for everyday use and they have a grapefruit scrub as well x

    Mmm I bet the smell is absolutley gorgeous!

    Fab review :) - I'm personally loving the L'Oreal Perfect Clean wash (with the scrublet) which I blogged about recently.. http://thebeautysanctum.blogspot.com/2010/05/product-rave-loreal-perfect-clean-wash.html

    But also i've been using the St Ives Warming Facial Scrub once or twice a week in the shower for a more thorough exfoliation :)
