I recently went to the store to pick out a new face wash. I picked out Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub because of the concept. The little beads to "gently exfoliates to lift away dirt and oil" sounded really good, but does it really do that?
Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub comes in a deep purple tube. The tube stands on it's cap and has a flip type top. The flip top cap is much easier to use then the regular screwable tops. The tube contains 5 oz, or 141 g.
Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub comes in a really soft white conditioner like consistancy and the beads are round and small. The beads are soft but not too soft, They are still tough enough to "scratch". They are not really sharp like other scrubs I used like the nutshell type scrubs. The scrub spreads evenly and the beads disturbute evenly.

When applied to the face Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub scratchy beads wonder all over the face. Sometimes I'll find some on my clothes and neck. The beads sometimes stick to each other and don't stay individual. There is a "cool" feeling that the scrub leaves which is probably the only good think that there is to this cleanser. If you scrub too hard the beads will start to hurt, and The directions say to scrub for 20-30 seconds. By the time I get to 20 seconds the amound I used to put on my face is usually dry.
I haven't had any bad skin reactions when using Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub . Meaning It has not broke my skin out, or gave me any irrations or red skin. My skin is not that sensative though.
