Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub

Pros: Doesn't overdry, pleasant smell
Cons: $4.99, doesn't rinse well, blue beads linger, doesn't exfoliate well

I try to have a facial cleanser on hand that has salicyclic acid in it. Some people like this ingredient, and others don’t, but I find it works for me. It is also available in different strengths in a cleanser. I normally use Clearasil face ...

Pros: umm...
Cons: Smell, Don't work, THOSE BLUE BEADS.

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 ...

Pros: leaves skin soft and smooth
Cons: smell, the beads - eewweh! the texture

I wash my face every day (combination skin - yikes!). Well, for about a week, I just didn't feel like it - what a nightmare! One day I look in the mirror and to my horror I see blackheads on my nose! Talk about eewweehh! I was disgusted. But ...

Pros: Works for me with exfoliating skin, and cleaning dirt and oil
Cons: Pricey, and the blue beads are a slight nuisance

I am cursed with that dreaded combination skin-oily in the "T" zone, and dry the rest of my face. I was looking for something different because nothing I had tried so far had done anything to help with pimples and blackheads. So I gave Clean and Clear ...

Pros: Doesn't smell bad, Makes my skin smoother
Cons: Cost, Doesn't work, Beads are problematic

I've always had a problem with blackheads and I thought I would try this product. It does not live up to it's name. Packaging The packaging of this product is nice. It is a pretty midnight blue colored container. The cap is easy to open, as ...

Pros: Does what it said it would do, smelled better than many blemish cleansers out there.
Cons: Dried my skin out too much in the end.

Ingredients: Salicylic acid 2%, water, cetyl alcohol, ppg-15 sterayl ether, polyethylene, microcrystalline wax, steareth-21, polysorbate-60, potassium cetyl phosphate, xanthan gum, fragrance, menthyl lactate, ferric ferrocyanide, jojoba esters I have ...

Pros: Smells nice; microbeads feel good
Cons: Doesn't work!

While I'm lucky that my skin isn't acne prone, I've always had an issue with blackheads. I finally gave in and spend the five or six bucks on the Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub, expecting the money would be well spent. Well, it wasn't. The ...

Pros: Exfoliates to provide a clean face with fewer blackheads.
Cons: Stings a bit if applied near the eyes; doesn't completely remove blackheads.

Blackheads seem to be drawn to my oily face, so I decided to give Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub in the blue squeeze tube a try. The Promise: Gently exfoliates to lift away dirt and oil. See fewer blackheads in just 2 days! ...

Pros: skin felt refreshed after rinsing, nondrying, helped minor acne, good scent
Cons: doesn't exfoliate well, doesn't get rid of blackheads, blue beads stay on your head

This product makes a nice cleanser -- it didn't dry out my skin or make it feel tight (I have normal to combo skin), and it didn't feel greasy either. It had a pleasant scent & made my skin feel clean & refreshed afterwards. However, as a scrub, it ...

Pros: smells nice, VERY clean feeling, get rid of and prevents zits
Cons: does NOT clear blackheads, it may be different for other people but not for me

This product did NOT clear my blackheads but I still love it! i use it every morning and night and every time I forget to use it at night I usually have a zit or 2 in the morning! It is misnamed because it clears and prevents pimples not blackheads and i ...

Pros: None
Cons: Caused severe breakouts, those blue beads felt like plastic and scratched my face

I used this stuff for 6 months and it made me break out TERRIBLY. It made my acne terribly worse and it looked really really bad. I was so embarrassed!

Plus, I had even more blackheads than when I started with.

And those stupid blue beads! I always found them in my hair and eyebrows, or just hanging on to my face somewhere. They felt like plastic! They scratched my face and caused irritation.

I don't recommend this to ANYONE.

Pros: Clever misleading marketing
Cons: Beads that scratch face, cost, effectiveness

I bought this because I have blackheads. I bought it to remove them because the label says "blackhead remover."

After using this product for over a month, it has worsened my blackheads if anything. The little beads are annoying and I find them sometimes in my eyebrows and in my hair.

I think most other Neutrogena products are good but this product is a sham. Do not buy this, save your money and just buy the bar of face soap they sell. It is a lot better.

Pros: Smells Nice
Cons: Doesn't work at all

This product does NOT work. I don't care how many times a day you may use it. I tried this because I tried Neutrogena Blackhead scrub & it failed miserably! So did this! The only product that actually does remove blackheads is Biore' Pore strips. I do not recommend this at all

Pros: kept breakouts under control
Cons: breakouts & blackheads persist, the horrific smell

Despite the fact I cleanse twice a day, my blackheads are persistent little buggers. To remedy this I bought this Blackhead Clearing Scrub produced by Clean & Clear.

Over several weeks of use I have noticed a slight decline in the number of blackhead and breakouts. My skin has become more manageable, but my nose and chin are still heavily plagued by blackheads. Also, the smell is heavy, medicinal, and purely awful.

I'd say while decent, this product is not worth the money. Try another product, I know I will be.

Pros: Were there any at all?
Cons: Too many.

This did not do anything for blackheads or clogged pores, and was generally a waste of five bucks. It broke me out and was too rough on my skin (which is not that sensitive).
