Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1 Wash & Mask > Reviews (31)

I love this! And 2 products in one, what could be better! no wonder it's been voted product of the year 2006.

My skin is temperamental to say the least - it can vary from oily, dry and spotty in the space of a day, and the only products I had found to calm it down and keep it under control was from Clinique. However, it's not very user friendly to be carrying soap and soap dish and a bottle of toner each time I go to the gym. This is where the Neutrogene Visibly Clear2-in-1 Wash & Mask comes in (phew what a mouthful!).

I love the fact that this can either be used as an everyday facial wash or a weekly mask. Using it as a wash, you just need to squeeze a little bit into your palms, add some water to create lather and massage onto your wet face before rinsing. It leaves my face clean and tingly feeling, and super soft whe moisturiser is added (and there's no need for a separate toner, as the water seems to do the trick). Although it doesn't have any exfoliator in it, I also find that I don't need to use a separate scrub.

Sometimes, you just can't beat the feeling of using a mask as well, especially when you've broken the beauty rule of sleeping in your makeup or lazing in a nice hot bath. You can really feel it working once applied, and you don't need to leave it on so it dries so it doesn't feel hard and uncomfortable on your face at all.

I guess after all this, you're wondering why I've still only given it 4 stars and not 5. Well, for my skin and despite it taking longer and involving more products, I can't help but compare it to my trusty Clinique, which really does leave my skin soft, smooth and glowing.
