Blackheads result when excess oil combines with dead skin cells to block the pore and widen the opening. This blockage reacts with oxygen to stimulate pigment which gives it the typical black colour. Once the blackhead is removed it may leave open pores behind.
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub is specially designed for blackhead-prone skin. Developed with dermatologists, the formula is clinically proven to:
• Help eliminate blackheads from day one – When used twice daily, this creamy scrub with exfoliating micro-beads helps unclog pores, remove existing blackheads and prevent new ones forming
• Help tighten pores – Enriched with an astringent agent, it helps to purify and tighten pores so that they appear less visible from day one.

On the plus side, it smells great. I personally found that this product was a little harsh for my skin. The exfoliating beads are not fine enough for me. Also, it left a slightly ‘oily’ film on my skin, but it didn’t feel like a good kind of nourishment. It’s worth a try, but I wouldn’t buy this product again, as there are many more in a similar price range that I prefer. Another plus, I like the packaging.
Hi RoseAngel
Some scrubs contain harsh ingredients that only allow you to use it once or twice per week, but because this daily scrub has a gentler formulation, it is suitable to use every day :)
I feel like I can go to a store right now. What I just read from other ppl’s reviews and what the masters are saying is just amazing. I really have to buy it soon, unlike these things I try but never work. Thanks for these reviews guys, now I know what to choose
Is it okay to use a scrub on acne prone skin? I was told that it exacerbates the acne as it irritates the skin?
I have tried this before because my chin and nose are horribly blackhead prone. Unfortunately the results were short lived. After week 2 its as if the product lost its effectiveness. But truth be told this happened with all the products i tried. Until I tried Bioderma. Week 7 and Im still getting compliments on my clear skin!!!
I have blackheads on my nose, so this I can wash only my nose, and not my face with this product because its a scrub and it washes off all your skins natural oils.
Great reviews, will give it a try since i’m on the market for one, the price is reasonable too.
I used this product for a whole year and. Had no blackheads and other skin impurities…its amazing
I have been using this for almost a month and my skin feels incredibly soft and smooth. Blackheads are very much a thing of the past. Very gentle and effective at clearing problem skin.
Please note that this is a scrub and not a wash. This should’nt be used everyday cause it strips your skin of its natural oils. And doing that very often creates breakouts cause your skin is now too dry. But overall, a very good product. Not too keen on the grapefruit wash.
