BeautyLove - Neutrogena Spot Stress Control scrub vs. Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Scrub


During one of my afternoon drugstore visits with eyes wide open for new products or fabulous finds I came across the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit range. It's been around for quite a while now and for some reason I never wanted to buy it. But now that my Neautrogena Visibly Clear spot stress control slowly comes to an ending, I thought, 'Hey let's give it a try'. So I took the Daily Scrub home with me and payed about 6 € which is alright and a real bargain when it comes to good beauty products. Back at home I immediately tied it out and to my surprise the texture was way more runny than the Spot stress control scrub. Also, although it smells quite nice when sniffing from the bottle, rubbing it on your face to me, it smells alot like dishwashing liquid. I was alert and afraid it would be too agressive on my skin which is spoiled and usually pampered by natural biological Products like Nonique or the light and soft Spot Stress Control scrub. As I washed it off my face my skin didn't feel very soft and kind of firm and dry. I immediately rescued it with the soft Spot Stress Control Scrub which seemed to have a better effect on my skin after I used the Pink Grapefrut scrub. So it may not be the best if used by itself, but in combination with other softer products it's really good. Stil, if you have very sensitive skin, this scrub may be not for you, but the washing cream the line stocks too, may be a great alternative. Using it for a few days now in combination with the Spot stress control scrub and my Nonique Tropical biological washing cream I found my skin to be way clearer and more alive than before I used the scrub in addition.


In comparison with the Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Scrub, the Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control Scrub is way lighter and smells more decent and in my opinion so much nicer. It smells a lot like Cucumber and also a bit like Aloe Vera. While the PG scrub is consisting of a pink gel with thousands of pink little peads that foam up the gel on your face, the SSC scrub is consisting of a creamy texture with not as many beads but enough to massage your face and clear out any old skin, impurities and dirt from your pores. When washing it off your skin feels fresh, looks bright and feels incredibly soft. It leaves your skin firm, but not dry.

Honestly, I for me prefer de Spot Stress Control scrub, because it's so much more suitable for my skin type which I would describe as normal. The Pink Grapefruit Scrub is probably suitable for people with oily skin and normal skin but I don't think it would do well on dry or sensitive skin. I hope my review gave you a little insight.

I would love to know about your Neutrogena experiences and what scrubs tickle your skin to the best!
