Neutrogena: Visibly Clear Gentle Exfoliating Wash

What the packaging says

Cleanses deep into the pores and helps clear spots for visible clearer skin from day 1.

• The unique formula with Microclear, a patented spot fighting technology, dissolves oil and helps reduce spot causing impurities to help clear skin from day 1.
• With soft microbeads, it gently exfoliates dead skin cells and cleanses deep into pores removing trapped dirt, oil and make-up without over-drying your skin.

Skin is left soft, smooth and visibly clear.

I have always liked Neutrogena products as you can feel them working straight away and always feel lovely.

I use this facial wash mainly in the evening after I have removed my eye make up and cleanse my face. I use it at night because I think that it is verry imortant that the skin is truely clean before going to bed as this is the main time that the skin is resting and reparing itself. Also it is very quickly which is what you need when you want to collapse in bed.

I also regularly use this product in the morning if I am sort of time.

You use it just like any facial wash. Wet the skin first and then massage the wash into the skin. And then of course, rise of afterwards and pat dry.

The product is a light blue gel which contains dark blue beads which ccleanse the skin. 

I have used many facial wash in the past and this one has been the most comfortable and affective to use. The beads are really gently and don't irritate the skin, you can bearly feel them.

My skin always feels clean and smooth, you can actually feel your skin breathing.

Usually when I have used a facial wash, I need to apply a moisturiser straight after as my skin starts to dry out but with this one I don't need to. It doesn't dry the skin out which is a lovely change.

Of course I do still apply moisturiser afterwards but I don't have to rush as much.

I would strongly recommend this product to anyone. I am totally in love with it. My skin is truely glowing straight after the first use. Could not live without this.

This product is sutble for any skin type but I would strongly suggest it to people with dry skin as it is something that you can actually use without it affecting skin like so many do.

This retails at around £6-£7. A true miracle!!!!

Question & Answer

Good evening!

Over time, people have been asking me some questions. I thought now would be a good time to answer some.

What make up item couldn't you live without?

It is a tough choice between my mascara and eyebrow pencil. Can I have both? pretty please.

Favourite brand of brushes.

I would would say Crown and Mac. Both have amazing brushes but they come at a cost. If you want something a little cheaper, then I would say No7. Some of there brushes are lovely.

What's your favourite glam item?

It would have to be my fake eye lashes without a doubt. I love them, the bigger the better. The other half thinks this is funny, but what does he know. x

Lipstick, tint or gloss?

It really depends on what im doing, but if I had to only have one then it would be ........ lipstick. Better choice of colours and well they can quickly change your look. I love brilliant colours, especially pink, purple and reds.

What is your cleansing routine?

Morning - eye make up remover, wipe off cleanser, toner, moisturiser and lip balm.

Evening - eye make up remover, wipe of cleanser, facial wash scrub, toner, night cream, dark circle under eye cream and lip balm.

How often do you wash your brushes?

If I am using them on other people, then every day as they collect dirt and bacteria. If it is on myself, then I am a bit bad and do them sometimes every other day but generally every day.

If you do it every day, it take hardly any time and they have that lovely clean feeling.

What do you use to clean you brushes?

Baby shampoo. Cheap, smells lovely and also as most brushes are made up of hair, I think that it works well. Just make sure to clean them fully.

Tips for great skin.

Cleanse, toner and moisturise and drink plenty of water.

Tips for making it more than a hobby?

Practice, practice, practice. Don't be afraid to try anything and don't give up.

Tips for looking after my make up?

• I store mine in professional make up boxes.
• Don't stick you finger in anything as bacteria grows and spreads quickly.
• Don't keep make up for years. It does go out of date.  After 5 months, chuck it out.

What is your favourite brand of make up?

Mac is one of my all time favourites but you have to use what works with your skin. For instance, my mum love bourjois foundation and they work really well on her skin but I fine them too heavy on mine as I have dry skin. There is not point going for the big brands if they don't work on your skin, or they feel uncomfortable as people won't be impressed by what your wearing if it looks wrong.

Shimmer or matte?

mmm depends on the product.

Foundations and blushers - Matte

Eye shadows and highlighters - shimmer ( but use carefully, you don't want to look like a kids cartoon).

Very late nights out, how I do hide this in the morning?

Well there are a couple of things that you can do for a couple of does however, too many while start to show no matter what you do.

I suggest cleanse, tone and moisturise, make sure that eye brows are always kept in shape as these frame the face and will certainly help of these days. Use a good coverage foundation to even out the skin tone and apply concealer under the eyes to reduce the shadows. If you eyes aren't bloodshot or a bit pink, then white or peach (even better) on the water line helps perk up the eyes. Also curl lashes to make the eyes pop.

And importantly, when you can relax, grab yourself a good long sleep. Nothing beats it.

I have spots. Help!

DO NOT SQUEEZE, PICK OR TOUCH.

Drink lots of water, and apply some spot cream of your choice. Make sure that your hands are clean when you do this to stop getting more dirt on the spots.

Ok well I hope this has answered some of your questions. I will answer more at a later date
