Neutragena has become one of my go to facial products brand because of availability and cost. From their products to keep your skin even like the Rapid Tone Repair I reviewed a few months back, you can read about that here to their Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Line.

As I had mentioned in that post my skin care routine is pretty basic. My skin; although very taut, smooth and youthful in appearance is still very prone to acne. I actually won the Pink Grapefruit Line some months ago from a blog giveaway and not only did I fall in love with it but my husband as well.

We both use the line to wash our face in the morning and night. The Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub does a wonderful job in cleansing our skin. It’s a daily scrub formulated with gentle microbeads to help smooth away skin roughness without irritating while also treating and help prevent breakouts. I really like how smooth and fresh my skin feels after having used it.

However what has to be my favorite item in the line are the Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes Pink Grapefruit for Acne-Prone Skin Convenient, pre-moistened wipes that thoroughly cleanse skin of pore-clogging impurities, without leaving behind a greasy residue so there is no need to rinse. 

These are perfect for easy makeup removal! Other benefits include: Oil-free formula ideal for acne-proneskin, Uplifting blast of 100% naturally derived grapefruit extract + vitamin C and at only $6.99 for 25 ct.

I find that the Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Cream Cleanser is perfect for fighting body acne, I personally use it as an in shower body wash. It is a rich, creamy cleanser that treats and helps prevent breakouts and is gentle enough for everyday use.

With the Holidays quickly approaching we have to not only remember to take care of our skin to look great in all of the photos but also to prevent & treat any stress induced breakouts. The Holiday season can become so chaotic that we can easily forget to take care of ourselves.

Keep your skin fresh with Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Line!
