Neutrogena Clear & Defend Facial Scrub

Neutrogena Clear & Defend Facial Scrub is a dermatologist-developed formula designed to target breakouts and cleanse deeply. It's oil‑free and combines physical and chemical exfoliation to refine texture while helping prevent future pimples. With regular use, the skin feels smoother, less congested, and more balanced.

Why It Works

• 2% salicylic acid helps unclog pores and reduce acne over time  
• Natural cellulose exfoliators remove dead skin without harsh abrasion  
• Lactic acid and panthenol help hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier  
• Oil‑free, non‑comedogenic formula respects skin balance  
• Users say it leaves their skin feeling clean, fresh, and clearer, though a few with sensitive skin report mild dryness or tingling.

Who It’s For

Designed for oily or spot-prone skin that needs gentle yet effective exfoliation. Great for teens or adults dealing with clogged pores or early breakouts. If you have very sensitive or dry skin, start with once‑daily use or patch test first.

How to Use

Apply to damp skin. Massage gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. Rinse fully and pat dry. Use once daily as part of your skincare routine.

Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to support hydration and prevent over-drying.
