Freebie Review 31 – Neutrogena Face Wash
EDIT: The original freebie is no longer available, but this freebie review is still a fun read 
Hello all my wonderfully fabulous Freebie Friends! I hope the end of your October is going great! Since we are getting on to Halloween in a mere five days, I thought I would spare you another sugary product review. Now we know that too much chocolate or sugar is supposed to cause breakouts. Some people claim it doesn’t, but honestly, I’m gonna eat my chocolate either way. But if you care about your face, which I am hoping you do, you could try this free Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub cleanser. It’s an oil-free acne wash for your face and it’s a great freebie!
This freebie was up around August 20th, 2008 and mine came almost a month later in a little trial version 0.5 oz. So if you don’t like it, you’re not really losing that much. I love grapefruit to begin with though, so this is perfect. The thing I like about this is that when you go to smell it you don’t get the over powering smell of a cleaner. You get the smell of fruit, which is nice, especially if you’ve used some nasty smelling things in the past. So let’s give this a shot.
Early this morning, I tested this out. I set up my little recorder so I can tell you what is going on. First of all the directions say to wet face. Check. Next apply to hands and add water, work into lather. The cleanser itself is pinkish clear with little white scrubbies in it. It’s gel like, feels gritty but that is only the scubbies. I used about a dime size dollop of the gel. When rubbing it into my hands and applying it to my face, the grapefruit smell clearly starts intensifying. It smells amazing, just like I sliced open an actual grapefruit.
After my face is completely lathered up I move on to the next and final step, rinse thoroughly. Warm water is a go. Blot your face dry. Looking in the mirror I would have to say that it is a very refreshing scrub. My skin feels amazingly clean. There doesn’t feel like there is anything clogging up my pores like some scrubs make you feel. My skin doesn’t feel tight either, which is a very good thing. My skin feels totally soft, very very nice. Sitting here writing this 8 hours later, my face feels totally refreshed and soft.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend. My hands also have a feel of “oh my,” so your getting your face and hands for one! This freebie didn’t come with a coupon, which I know…I was cursing them. But just look for them in the Sunday coupons, we’re certain to get one sometime. I priced this at Wal-Mart and it was 6.99 for a 4.2 oz bottle. Now the free sample isn’t up anymore, but over on the Neutrogena site there are offers for 5$ off this and that so go have a look.

Shaynon, When I went into the web site I could not find a the spot to click to get a free sample—or is it that the offer is over????
Never mind I of course did not read the rest of the review which is a bad habit of mine–so just ignore me thanks
ha, sorry bout that! You should always read the whole review lol. And don’t worry, they will be giving away free samples of something soon, they always do!!
Oh, thanks for posting this! I got my free grapefruit wash about a month ago and have been waitin’ to use it until my other stuff runs out. Glad to know it worked on somebody.
ME TOO!!!! I clicked on the link like five times, then I finall read the details, I’m such a blonde, really I am lol. Cant wait for this freebie, probably a cheapy one, one that’s in a packet like, who cares though its free and I love FREE! LOL
Looks like another thing I need to pick up at the store.
Thanks for the great review!
no samples there, did i do it wrong?
How do I submit a request for this Freebie… the Neutrogena product??
doesn’t seem like a form is attached..
I tried to get this, and when i clicked on it, it just showed all their products there was no button saying order this free sample! I wanted this!
NO SAMPLES! Was there supposed to be a form attached or something to sign up?
I updated the original post a few days ago to reflect the fact that they’re out of freebie samples.
would like to try it.hope they still have some of that.
