Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial Product Review

Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial claims to leave you feeling like you just got a facial after just one minute of use. While Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial is an excellent product, it doesn't quite live up to its own hype.

Clean and Clear's Morning Burst Line is designed to "freshen your skin and wake up your senses." All of their products have a citrus scent and are packaged in tangerine and white colored packaging. The line includes facial cleansers, facial scrubs, and moisturizers.

The Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial is designed to be used 1-3 times per week in place of the normal cleanser. The instructions say to apply a generous amount to your face and let sit for one minute. After a minute, you are supposed to massage the cleanser into your face to "activate the moisturizing beads" and clean away and dried skin, impurities, and dead cells.

When I applied the product to my face, and let it sit for the allotted minute, I did feel a tingle, in a good-not painful-way. And I did enjoy the citrus scent with its hints of cucumber and ginger. Overall, it was nice, but not worthy of a "wow." But when the minute ended and I got to scrub my face, then I was really impressed. Most scrubs available at the drugstore are weak. They generally consist of a few scrubbing beads in a decent cream or gel base and I feel like I'm pushing a couple of beads around, and not getting much done. I usually try them once and then go back to "borrowing" my husbands Clinique shave-prep exfoliating scrub to really exfoliate my face once or twice a week-because it is the best exfoliating scrub I've found. Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial's scrub was just as good as my husband's scrub. The scrubbing particles are dense within the cream base so I don't feel like I'm doing a lot of work and accomplishing little. Instead, I ended up with a smooth, clean face.

As an experiment, I tried using Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial without the one minute of non-scrubbing. While I didn't get the fresh, invigorating face tingle...I still got a good face scrub in. And the results when I looked in the mirror were the same-a smooth, clean face.

Since Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial does include alpha hydroxy acids, it is important to follow up usage with a sunscreen or moisturizer.

I will continue to purchase Clean and Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial, but not because I feel like I have just gotten a facial, but because it is one of the best, inexpensive scrubs on the market.
