Review: Clean & Clear Oxygenating Facial Scrub and Ultra-Light Moisturizer
What They say: (about the Facial Scrub) “Let healthy looking skin come out to play. Oxygenating Facial Scrub has unique scrubbing beads that gently remove excess dirt, oil and dead skin to reveal soft, smooth, beautiful skin.”
Alissa’s Opinion: Let me start off by saying that I am already a dedicated Clean & Clear user. I have been using their classic Daily Pore Cleanser for almost 10 years because I just haven’t found anything as simple and efficient as that. I had high hopes for this cousin of my current favorite, and while it didn’t really let me down, I have to say it didn’t really impress me either. The scent is very pretty and light and it leaves my skin feeling smooth, but as an exfoliator it falls short. Overall, I would recommend this as a daily cleanser but not as a good, gritty scrub.
What They Say: (about the Ultra-Light Moisturizer) “It’s time to say goodbye to dry. Oxygenating Ultra-Light Moisturizer is a light-as-air formula with breakthrough technology that gently hydrates dry skin while allowing it to breath. With UVA/UVB sun protection, you’ll also be protecting yourself from damaging rays.”
Alissa’s Opinion: Because I only use oil-free moisturizers with minimum SPF 15 (which this one has), I was really looking forward to trying it. My first impression was that it felt very thick when applying, considering that it is “ultra-light”. But it absorbed very well and that heavy feeling was gone almost immediately. The scent is like the cleanser, light and fresh. My only complaint is that it is mentholated so it stung a bit on my winter-dry areas. This would be a great moisturizer in the warmer months.
Retail Prices: $7.59 each (both at drugstores and superstores everywhere and online at drugstore.com)
