My Experience The Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula is not the product for me.
Though I am in the market for a decent facial exfoliator, the Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula is not the product for me. The scrub cream has a white, medium consistency but has a strange, unpleasant, chemical odor. The scent of the scrub isn't overwhelming, but it's enough to be off-putting. I really dislike the chemical scent to the product. The texture of the scrub cream is lotion-like and has very fine, scrub particles. I was skeptical that such fine particles could effectively exfoliate.
Surprisingly, the Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula functions decently as an exfoliator. I have used the scrub every couple of days, using about two pea-sizes of the scrub each time. I have noticed that the scrub feels a bit greasy when it is being applied and worked onto my face. The feel of the scrub isn't particularly pleasing; it's a somewhat of a strange texture. The scrub isn't harsh or abrasive like other exfoliators. Instead, it is gentle yet fairly effective in removing dead skin cells. The scrub leaves my skin somewhat softer compared to using just a regular facial wash. The effects, though more subtle than other more abrasive exfoliators, is quite surprising considering the gentleness of the scrub particles. I haven't noticed much impact of the scrub on reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Would I purchase the full-size version of the Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula? No. The chemical scent and the greasy feel when the scrub is applied leaves me wanting to find a new, more pleasant exfoliator.
Overall Thoughts The Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula is a gentle facial exfoliator that has an unpleasant chemical scent and a strange consistency.
