I should say I like this product quite a bit. I find myself returning to this at the end of the day. I wish they said how much salicyclic acid is contained in this product, because I don't know if it is doing enough for my whiteheads as I still keep getting them. However, I have tried a lot other scrubs meant for acne or whitehead prone skin with salicyclic acid in them, but no other stuff works as better as this one. Others have been either too harsh or rough or would leave behind a thin, greasy film which I detest. This scrub has the perfect consistency and doesn't leave behind any film giving that clean, crisp feeling I like from a wash.

If anyone knows, can you please let me know about the percentage of Salicyclic acid contained by this product?

I love this scrub, its so gentle and exfoliates well. It leaves my skin so soft and smooth too, and doesnt dry my skin out one bit, which other exfoliators tend to do.

This is my favorite scrub, and the only one I keep coming back to. It doesn't dry out my skin, and takes off all the flaky skin I have from using Differin or from the chilly and windy Chicago weather. I've never had any irritation from this, and it makes my face feel so soft and smooth after using it. It smells nice, kind of like oranges. I like the fact that it's cheap and readily available, and I also love the exfoliating beads in this. They're not as hard or dense as St. Ives, which I save for times when I need extreeeeme exfoliation, but the beads aren't so tiny that it feels like you're getting microdermabrasion. It's really gentle, and I use it about 3 times a week. I would definitely recommend this product.

First of all,I know exfoliating your skin once-twice a week is important to get rid of the dead skin cells that clogs your pores,no matter what your skin type is,you must exfoliate your skin.
I have a sensitive skin so I only must exfoliate my skin once a week,I really had a doubt
trying it because of my skin type,but I tried it instead to see how it will affect my skin and
the results were horrible!
It made my skin very dry,it gave me redness and it totally stripped my skin!
I didn't able to use sunscreen for four days (I'm not sure if I can already put sunscreen tomorrow) because after the application,it made my skin itchy and it stings.
My skin is still flaking and a li'l bit itchy at this point.
I won't recommend this if you have a dry,sensitive skin like I have.

Great everyday scrub for combo/ oilies. Have had far, far fewer breakouts since I started using this a few years back. One of those 'oh god i hope they don't discontinue it' products.

I really like this facial scrub. I like that I can use it daily, it's gentle and mild, but also exfoliates well and gets all my makeup off. The smell is sort of orange-y and reminds me of Quality Street chocolate orange. Yummmmm. Definitely keep this around.

The packaging is nice, i keep this is my shower and whenever it drops on the bathtub floor it doesnt break. After just one use my face felt and looked less dry. It gave me a clean feeling and smelt really nice. I use this every morning and its wonderfull. It keeps my acne away and keeps my face nice.

Thanks, Neutrogena!

This is a really lovely cleanser that I use twice a day, before I go to bed at night and when I get up in the morning. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed and prepped for moisturiser. I always tend to get a breakout or two or my skin starts to get a little dry and flaky, but this clears them up immediately. It's gentle on the skin, yet cleanses beautifully, getting rid of dirt and grime and excess oil. The beads in this are fine and grainy which help to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin without being harsh. There is a gentle citrus scent, which isn't overpowering or strong. I find that this goes on slightly oily, but don't be fooled, it rinses off easily without leaving any residue. I also love the fact that this is super cheap for a huge bottle and I only need the tiniest bit each time. Before I was Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream and I really loved it, but I just hated the price and the small tube. Deep Clean Gentle Scrub is just a beautiful gentle cleanser that is perfect for me and my skin type.

This product lives up to its name - it is a gentle scrub. The scrubbing beads are medium-sized and there are a fair amount of them in the scrub. What makes this scrub different from other scrubs that I've tried by Neutrogena is that this scrub tends to moisturize my skin. This scrub works best as a daily exfoliator, in my opinion. However, if you are looking for a more intensive scrub (meaning one that exfoliates with more strength in order to noticably remove dry skin, etc.) then I suggest the Fresh Foaming Scrub by Neutrogena.

at first i was skeptical about this product but after using it several times, i must say that it is a very good scrub. does what a scrub is supposed to, exfoliate dead skin cells on the surface leaving your skin smooth and supple to touch. love it!
EDIT: i don't find this to be as good anymore. won't repurchase.

I like this a lot. I had all these white heads all over my face and this got rid of them. My skin is really smooth now. Also it doesn't dry out my skin.

I was initially loving this scrub, but for some reason every time I use it now my face gets horribly red and blotchy. It's such a pity, because it seemed like a great scrub - creamy but not greasy base, lots of tiny granules, orange creamsicle scent. I'm so disappointed - a great scrub is hard to find!

My mom liked this a lot, so I started using it on my face; that didn't work out so well for my breakouts. However, I really like it for use on my body when I feel like I need a good scrub down. And the smell is actually amazing. So for the face: No. But for the body: Yes.

I love this scrub.It smells good and leaves a fresh feeling on my skin.It also helps a bit with my acne.It's a bit too gentle for me so i have to work it in my skin a bit rough.The most amazing thing is that in comparation with other scrubs i used it didn't dry my skin out.I recommend it.

I was using Olay smooth skin until I decided to try this. It works great. I tend to be allergic to everything and it turns my face red. this doesnt. It makes my skin smooth without drying it out. I use this at night before Neutrogena anti-wrinkle night cream. Will definitely repurchase this when i run out.

i loved my time with this product. it absolutely smoothed my skin and i loved it completely.it cleansed into my pored and i loved the abrasive-ness of it because i find daily face washes to be to gently and this is just right - not as abrasive as St. ives but more stronger than clean and clear's exfoliating face wash. the smell wasnt too bad and i thought the consistency was great. i think they should sell this in the UK though because i got through some funny shop. would definitely buy it again. definitely

i love love love this product. I have been using it for past one week and it has done wonders to my skin! my skin feels smooth and nice. my skin seems to love salicylic acid anyway! but this scrub is gentle and ideal for everyday use. i'll come back with an update in a few days but i'm positive that i've found my HG scrub! :O)
