Review: Neutrogena 2-in-1 Visibly Clear Wash Mask

I bought this particular face pack in a combo pack that had this face pack and a cleansing water too, from Germany. There was no particular reason behind buying this pack, except for the fact that I was hunting for a decent face wash as I'd missed packing it in my bag. And I got this pack thinking that either of the both was a face wash! However this particular product can be used as facewash too, but I couldn't use it that way. I've been using it as face pack only.

Today I'd be reviewing the face pack as I've used it many times in past couple of months and I somehow have liked the effects that it gave to my skin.

My experience with this face pack

As I mentioned above, I expected it to be facewash, but since it turned out to be more like a facepack, I anyway thought of giving it a try. The facepack has a thick consistency and slightly cooling feel to it. The moment I apply it all over my face, it gives strong cooling effects to my skin as if I've smeared a mint flavored toothpaste all over my face. Since it is quite thick, it gets dried up within 15-20 minutes of application by which time the cooling sensation also goes down, after which I  wash it off. I've felt nice brightening in my skin every time I use it.

And below are the pros and cons of this face pack:

Pros:

1)      The face pack comes in a thick fat tube with a flip open cap through which you can take the product out easily. A simple, effective and non-messy packing which I like.

2)      The face pack is a thick white pack that feels quite cool on my skin. I usually apply it evenly all over my face with my face pack brush. It instantly gives quite cooling and soothing effect to the skin, similar to what you can get from mint.

3)      It usually gets dried up within 15-20 minutes, after which I take a sponge cloth, wash it and wipe off the mask. After that I rinse my face thoroughly with water. The cooling effect definitely relaxes my face muscles and gives my skin a subtle glow.

4)      Price for the quantity you get is quite apt.

Cons:

1)     I’ve found this face pack a bit drying on my oily-combination skin. I’ve to apply a light moisturizer after every use.

2)    Though I like the cooling effect and subtle glow it gives to my skin, I haven’t experienced any dramatic results on the pimples or acne that I tried to heal using this. It’d just relax and cool my skin along with imparting a nice refreshing glow to make me feel better, nothing apart from that.

3)     Availability: I’ve not yet seen this product from Neutrogena in India.
4)   It contains parabens.

  

Overall verdict: Even as an accidental buy, I don’t have any regrets of getting this. I like the cooling effects it gives on my skin and probably some other benefits too which I might have not noticed. At least it never caused me any break outs or allergic reactions. I like to apply it more during summers to give some cooling effects to my skin. Oily beauties can give it a try. However, I don’t recommend this to dry skin beauties because of its tendency to make my oily-combination skin dry.

Overall rating: 3/5
