Did you check out my Instagram post of the cute white package with the pink ribbon wrapped around it I received recently? I was completely surprised by it and didn't know who it came from.
The girls and I opened the package together and behold, I got the whole product line of NEUTROGENA® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit with MicroClear™ technology! My face lit up with excitement because this is the skincare products that I desperately needed.
Did you know I suffer from adult acne? Yes it's true, under all this makeup I wear I have a face of a 16 year old. Well I may be exaggerating a bit about having terrible acne-prone skin but I do suffer from it being at the age of 30 soon to be 31 (did I just really reveal my age?).
During my teen years, my acne was pretty bad and it was like that with my other family members as well. To help fight my break outs, my mother took me to a dermatologist to get prescriptive acne medicine that did help the problem but it left my skin dry, peeling, and ashy so I had to quit using it. I remember using Neutrogena's original oil free cleanser back then and it worked pretty well for my skin. I been using Neutrogena skincare products off and on ever since.
As I gotten older, my skin has been making improvements but I'm left with dark marks and a few acne flare ups here and there. My problem areas of my skin is my forehead, chin, hairline, and my back. Yes, I suffer from body acne at my age too. But you know what, I'm partly to blame for this because I haven't been eating a healthy diet lately, skipping out on exercising, and also I've been using vitamins with biotin in it that has been causing me to break out badly.
Did you know:
Dermatologists are starting to see a rise in acne in adults, as Clinical studies have determined:
- Between 40 and 55 percent of the adult population age 20-40 are diagnosed with low grade, persistent acne and oily skin.
- According to the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology, 54 percent of women older than age 25 have some facial acne.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I also have oily skin too! Why, oh why must I have to still suffer from all of this with my skin!
So Neutrogena came at the prefect time to introduce me to this oil free acne product line. They must have been seeing the pimples in my selfies, LOL!
But anyway, here are the skincare products I received to try out and review: Pink Grapefruit Cream Cleanser, Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub, Body Clear Body Wash, and Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser, and Cleansing Wipes.
My Review of Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Skincare Products
When I first got this product line I was suffering with breakouts on my chin. This is about to be a TMI moment, but when it is that time of the month my skin starts breaking out with blackheads.First things first I took a sniff of all the skincare products I received and the smell was very delightful and fruity like the grapefruit- it really woken up my senses.
I noticed after using all products after a week that the majority of my blackheads disappeared revealing much smoother skin. I will say that I did overdo it with the Grapefruit facial foaming scrub by using too much of it and it started drying out my skin. I recommend using a moisturizer after using the facial scrub (you should be doing this anyway).
Here is how I used each product:
Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Cream Cleanser- I enjoyed using this cleanser in the mornings while showering. The cleanser gives off a cooling sensation on my skin while cleansing it and it really helped me wake up while I'm dragging in the mornings. The cream cleansers makes your skin feel nourished and soft.
Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser- I use this cleanser in the evenings to remove the makeup on my face. It suds up nicely removing 98% percent of my makeup.
Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub- I like to use the scrub after using the facial cleanser to help remove dead skin. It works really well and gives my skin a baby soft feel. Remember to not use too much of it or you'll dry out your skin. I recommend using it every other day.
Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Cleansing Wipes- After finishing washing and scrubbing my face, I use the cleansing wipes to remove what ever is left on my face. My face is clean 100% after using these wipes.
Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash- Since I have body acne, this body wash worked prefect for that. I have a scrub brush to help scrub and wash my back and I applied a quarter size of the body wash on my scrub brush and cleanse my back. My body acne is completely cured in a matter of two weeks and the body wash did not dry out my skin.
