neutrogena is one of the most trustable brands on the market and this product reconfirms that! it does an amazing job for skin with imperfections. the abrasive grains are very small and don't harm your skin, there are o lot of them in there so you don't need to use half a tube for just one exfoliation ha-ha like for other products. i use two drops of a bean's size all over my face and neck and rub it in gently for like 1 minute, than rinse it with water. never use a cotton pad to remove it because it will drag the abrasive grains against your skin and harm it. it has a fresh light scent to it and a creamy consistency.
