Neutrogena Wave Mixed Reviews
I saw a banner ad for the new Neutrogena Wave facial cleansing system while I was looking at a news website last night, and clicked on the ad because it looked like such an appealing drugstore acne product that I thought of purchasing it. Since the ad I clicked on wouldn’t take me anywhere, I went in and searched for the product, and came up with a couple of websites where the product is both sold and reviewed.
While the Neutrogena Wave got initially great reviews from the first few reviewers, there were some mixed in there that offered some feedback that made me think twice about getting the cleansing product because of my skin type, which is prone to acne, but also extremely sensitive and prone to overdrying, which leads to more oil production in my picky skin.
The Wave is a product that is small and handheld. It is battery operated and is supposed to be water resistant. One of the complaints I read had to do with the so called water resistance, where the user said she used it in her shower and it went dead pretty fast, and didn’t work again.
The unique thing about the wave is that it sends deep tissue cleansing vibrations down through the skin with the battery operated device, and uses a cleansing pad on the end of it that cleanses while the vibrator sends the cleanser down deep to get a nice, fresh, deep clean feeling. Many users said their skin was baby soft after using it and that they saw a noticeable difference in their skin tone and overall appearance after using it for a few times.
Others complained that the pad took forever to foam up, or did not foam up at all. They may not have soaked the pad in enough water beforehand though. Some said it dried their skin out too much, while others said that it left their skin feeling perfect, not dry or overly tight. My guess is there is a difference between how these users used the product, perhaps those that said it dried them out used it too long, or their skin type just wasn’t compatible with the cleanser.
There were definitely more good than bad reviews on the Neutrogena Wave facial cleanser, so I’d say it’s worth a look if you want to check out a novel new product that may make you feel like your getting a facial in your own home. I might get it just to experience the vibration part, and see if my skin clears up from deep cleansing for a while.
