1. Read instructions. LOVED that I don’t need a rag!
2. Lathered up and started massaging. My face starts feeling a burst of a cooling sensation. I rinse off, and my face feels SO GOOD. It was cold but in a good way, it felt fresh, and it felt like it had been cleansed!
3. I go throughout my day after washing and catch sniffs of my face (as weird as it sounds). All I smell is the grapefruit, which smells amazing!
4. About a week has passed of me using it twice a day, as instructed. Not that much visible improvement of my pimples (I don’t have acne, just little pimples all throughout my face), but I notice that suddenly my skin just looks incredible soft, smooth, even, and actually younger! Not sure if it’s an illusion, but I tried different lightings to tell. My pores, dare I say, seem smaller, too lol
It takes about a month for an acne treatment/face wash to really show its results on your face, so you must give this and every other treatment TIME. I HIGHLY recommend following directions and using this twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. This face wash makes it easy to do so, too. Will update in a month to share final results. :)
UPDATE: I’m very late, but here are my results:
Disclaimer—I did not use this twice a day every single day, but I really should have (just as you should for any facial cleanser)! I’ve never really had acne to begin with, just tiny bumps/pimples here and there. I couldn’t see a significant difference, but that’s probably for the two reasons listed above. All in all, I can tell it cleans my face, and it smells amazing, and is easy to use. Therefore, I say get this just so you can keep your face clean and prevent acne. I’ll probably buy it again when I run out.
Here are a few good things about this product: The smell is better than most face washes, though I don't know that it really smells like grape fruit. This actually makes your face feel clean, especially when you first start using it. I was surprised, I don't think my face has ever felt so clean! Even when I didn't wear make up for a few days and washed my face everyday, my face never felt so fresh! It definitely gives you a more confident feeling. I felt less nervous about going outside without make up after I put it on. I like the texture of this product as well, the cream doesn't feel hard or rough. It didn't really seem to dry out my skin too badly either, which is a common problem I have with face washes or any "acne clearing" product.
The bad- I went through a bottle FAST. I'm not sure if I was using too much, or what made it seem to go so quickly. I used it every morning before applying make up, and every night after removing make up before bed. Though it did help a little, it didn't help as much as I would've liked. It seemed break outs I already had did not go away, and I didn't see a major noticeable difference. Break outs did ease up a little.
I would recommend going with this Neutrogena alternative rather than grape fruit if you are purchasing locally rather than ordering off Amazon- http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Oil-Free-Clean-Cream-Cleanser/dp/B000052ZB5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396912084&sr=8-2&keywords=neutrogena+deep+clean
The reason I recommend the other product is because of the price, and quantity. I believe I bought the Neutrogena Deep Clean at Target for about $5, maybe even $4. This product is much more effective, but the smell isn't as nice and it won't make you feel as clean.
Overall Neutrogena's Grape Fruit wash deserves about 3.5-4 stars. How well it works? Not as well as I wish it would- especially not for the higher price. The smell is great, and the color and texture of the product make it cute and fun! (Yes, I just said fun.) If you only have moderate acne or break outs, this product would probably work great for you!
The only downside I have is that it makes your washcloths REEK. I was turning over the rugs in my bathroom to make sure my cats hadn't peed on them! I recomend eashing your washcloths daily.
