bops_mom's Full Review: Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub 5 oz
When I started having a hard time finding Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Scrub I eventually decided I should attempt to find a replacement. I took a quick look at the skin care isle at Target and grabbed a tube of Aveeno’s Skin Brightening Daily Scrub and hoped for the best.
Product Information
Aveeno’s Skin Brightening Daily Scrub is packaged in a pale green squeeze tube with flip top lid. The tube holds 5 oz. of product and costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 - $7. The Tube states the following: “gently exfoliates for even tone and texture” and “with moisture-rich soy extracts and gentle microbeads.” The tube also says that this product is “soap-free, oil-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic”.
The scrub itself is an off white color with tiny little… well, microbeads for the scrubby particles. It has a definite sweet, clean perfumed scent which I’ve found to be typical of Aveeno products. That has never quite made sense to me since Aveeno has such a natural product type image but maybe that's just me. The scent is somewhat strong (to my nose) but is gone as soon as you rinse the scrub off. I have that to be thankful for as I’m not really a fan of the smell. Nor am I a fan of scented facial products in general.
My Experience
I have dry skin and am a huge fan of scrubs. I have almost given up on regular cleansers for my skin care regime and use scrubs nearly exclusively. They just seem to work well for me. That was pretty much the reason why I choose Aveeno’s Skin Brightening Daily Scrub in the first place. It was a scrub and was supposed to be fairly gentle.
I’m on my second tube which will tell you that I like it. I don’t love it (I do love Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Scrub) but it is a good product. It is gentle yet definitely works well as a scrub in buffing away the top layer of skin leaving me with fresher, healthier looking skin. It only takes a small amount of this product for me to wash my face each morning and I’ve found that it doesn’t take a whole of effort to get my face rinsed clean after each use.
Since my skin is dry, if I don’t apply a heavy duty moisturizer after using Aveeno’s Skin Brightening Daily Scrub my skin does feel tight. Having said that I should probably also let you know that if I don’t bother washing my face at all in the morning and thus don’t apply my heavy duty moisturizer - by early afternoon my skin not only feels dried out, but you can actually see dry patches on it. Yeah. Yuck.
If you’re looking for a gentle facial scrub that can be used daily Aveeno’s Skin Brightening Daily Scrub might be for you. I can see this product working well for normal, combination and dry skin types. As for me I can’t say that Aveeno’s Skin Brightening Daily Scrub is a perfect replacement for Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Scrub but it’s a darn good one and until I see something I think might work better, I’m planning to stick with it.
