The best cleanser: Neutrogena grapefruit face wash

Last year, I graduated from high school. I was living in a little town in the campaign, and now, I'm living in Paris because my college is there. It's great and all, but let's just say it didn't have zero impact on my skin. I'm pretty sure it's because of the pollution and the stress, but my skin is not as its best right now. Far from it.

I have never struggled with skin problems, I have always been quite lucky on that point. However, this year... Let's just say it's not that great. Indeed, I am now (pleased) to have some black heads, white heads (can't see them much but God are they annoying!) and spots here and there. 
For those wondering: my skin is quite sensitive and it's a combinaison skin: pretty dry on the cheeks and a little bit oily on the T-Zone.

I have tried quite a few products to try and make it better: different cleansers, spot treatments, masks, essential oils... But nothing really worked. Actually, at first I thought the oils were working, but I was totally wrong, I think it only made it worse (I will probably write a full blog post about that). The masks and spot treatments didn't help much either.

However, these bad skin days are gone! I think I've finally found something to help my skin, and it's the Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser from Neutrogena. I really love this product: it washes my face perfectly, smells divine and has helped clearing out my skin. The grapefruit makes it so fresh, and my skin is really soft afterwards. It's pretty easy to use: with clean hands (obviously) "massage" the product on wet face so that it creates foam, and then rince it. As simple as that. Oh, and I use it both in the morning and at night.
The only thing is, it tends to be a little bit drying: you just need to use a good moisturizer afterwards (you can use the one from the same line, but I personally like Benefit moisturizers, they are great). 

The difference is not ground-breaking, but my skin is definitely better. My white heads are less obvious, I have no new spots and it has helped to reduce the ones I had. 
You should try it out: it's only 8$, what could go wrong ?;) 

(Please keep in mind that I can't guarantee that all the skincare products I recommend will suit you. Everyone's skin is different.)


Let me know in the comments if you have tried it or if you're planning to, and what are your thoughts about it. 

Have a lovely day! xx
