Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub

I used to love this face scrub. It was recommended by Beautypedia and I’ve used it for years. But sadly, it just keeps changing.

I get that it had to change at one point, as the plastic beads were causing harm in the ocean. We don’t want that. But each iteration has changed a lot on scrubbiness, so I never know what I’m going to get. Is it going to scrub/manually exfoliate, or not?

Online it’s also listed as a cleanser, but I wouldn’t buy it for that alone. This is not the type of facial soap that will remove makeup.

It’s still easily found in stores and online, and has stayed relatively inexpensive. So it’s not a bad purchase. Just know that it will be gentle, but it won’t clean away makeup, and it may or may not be scrubby – varying from a scrub to a paste, depending.
