Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti-Aging Power Treatment Kit
Customer Review: Very harsh
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought it from walmart. I read all the reviews from amazon before buying.I have always good experience with amzon.
Here are few points you should consider before buying:-
1. THE PADS ARE VERY HARSH LIKE SCOTCH BRITE, YOU CAN WASH YOUR DISHES WITH IT.
2.THE PADS DOESNT HAVE EVEN ADEQAUTE SOAP(GEL/MEDIUM) SO ITS LIKE SANDING YOUR FACE WITHOUT ANY LUBRICATION.
3. "" THE CIRCLE HEAD MASSAGER DOES NOT I REPEAT DOES NOT ROTATE OR DOES NOT MOVE IN CIRCLES"".IT JUST VIBTARES.
I have a medium skin type I found it too harsh. I wounder about how much damage it could do to a sensitive skin. I can not use it more than once a week or once every 10 day for more tha 3 minute. More than 3 minutes and it gives bumps and scars afterwards.Here is how you can make best use of it.
Turn the pad the other side blue side down.The cotton side is much softer to skin. Wet throughly both the pad & your face. Apply this product to your face and a bit to the pad

This will lubricate & cleans as well without scrubbing & being harsh.Gently massage your face in circular motion for 3 minutes max. you can give an extra 10 secs to the side of your nose & under your lips ( the chin curve).Wash your face with warm water. Then massage your face for 7 to 10 minutes with a mixute of any body lotion and some warm water.wash you face agin with cold water and apply moisturizer generously.
Just to remind you ladies after using this machine pores open ( & they really open) its very necessary to massage the open pore skin to hydrate it. Them wash with cold water in the end to close the pores. then apply moisturizer to seal it.You are done.
The cream on the pad will make it messy but I dont find any other way to work with this machine now that I have invested some $ 30
I cant just throw it. You cant simply run it over your face and walk away. My skin got dried even after applying moisturizer. It dried and looked scarred light pink. Then few days later it got flaky ( dry spots)and I felt like exfoliating again.
What it does: If used this way it gives a result. skin looked more cared, clean, soft (not very soft baby like),and glow. If done routinley skin will look young. If done as directed on the packet, skin will not only dry with big pores but in a longer run it will looked aged.
I use to get my facial spa done regularly so this is the best cost saving alternative if done rightly.It does not equal the result, but I would say that I have achieved 75-80% of the result that I use to get with a manual professional facial.
If you feel that you have the patience to deal & work with this machine go ahead & buy. If you feel it doesnt fit your busy schedule, you are well with spending over a nutrogena wave or even dove skin vitalizer. But I guess they have much softer pad. And to achieve a good result you will still have to follow the same process, but in this case you ae spending under $ 10-12 etc.
Customer Review: A Skeptic Converted
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I'm always suspicious of products that sell hardware for a reasonable price but that require you to purchase software that only that manufacturer makes (e.g., razors that only take expensive cartridges from the same maker, cheap cameras that require you to purchase expensive film, etc.). So when I saw this product, I assumed it would be the same sort of scam. To my amazement, the Neutrogena Rejuvenator not only works, it works really well and is idiot-proof to use and, most shockingly of all, results really are noticeable right away. It will take more use to see whether in the long-run it minimizes fine lines and reduces pore size as its packaging insert claims, but right out of the box it makes skin super soft and smooth both to the eye and to the touch. The day after my first use I ran into a friend at the gym whom I hadn't seen for several months and he told me that I looked really cute and like I was about 30 years old. For the record, I'm 48 and I wasn't wearing any make-up.
The Rejuvenator couldn't be easier to use (at least once you get the battery cover open, which is a bit difficult and so my only criticism). You pop in the two supplied batteries, open the box of puffs, wet a puff and stick it to the snap-on attachment, which has a rough surface that the pads stick to. Push the switch to "on" and the pad vibrates, creating a soapy lather that helps the pad glide over your skin. As some people have noted, the vibrations are kind of intense, but not painful. After you use it for about five minutes, you switch it off, pull off the puff and throw the puff away. Rinse your face and you've got instantly softer skin. My skin is extremely sensitive and there is no reaction to this product other than a slight reddening of my cheeks which goes away after a few minutes. Also on the plus side, since unlike a scrub there are no granules that get washed down the grain, presumably this product is better for the environment. And although you will have to buy replacement pads at a cost of about ten dollars a month, it still works out to less than a decent scrub and works a lot better. So I am sold on this product and find myself looking forward to using it. What a pleasant holiday surprise this has been!
Update: January 1, 2008 -- Some people have noted that the pads either don't get foamy enough or that the lather runs into their eyes. It helps to wet the pad throughly, per the instructions, then squeeze it out gently to remove excess moisture. This keeps the lather from running into your eyes when you do your forehead. I'm still in love with this product and have already ordered replacement pads. I find I look forward to the days when I can use the Rejuvenator. My skin has never looked or felt so good.
Customer Review: Buttery, creamy, delicious softness! However, don't use the recommended 3 times per week...
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is even better than I imagined. After reading all the reviews, I just had to see for myself if it worked. I have never experienced this type of thorough exfoliation and cleansing of my face. I used to have stubborn clogged pores that would not be cleared by any other method, but this really helped. My skin used to feel bumpy (although it looked smooth)to the touch, but it's pure silk now. This product also significantly cleared old red acne scar marks. I refer to it as my "little sander."
Neutrogena recommends using the product 3 times per week, which seems really excessive for my particular skin type. I have very fair delicate skin with pink undertones and using this more than once per week is simply too much. I don't think there's anything left to exfoliate, since this product basically "sands off" the top layer of your face. Although it does this very gently, I wouldn't do it more than once per week, or at the very most twice per week. When I tried doing it three times a week, my usually combination skin became very dry and flaky. Moisturizing is extremely important after each treatment and I make sure to slather on a rich, non-pore clogging cream for at least two days afterward.
After I finish doing my face, I also use it on my neck and chest. I always add plenty of extra water so that the product glides more gently on this delicate skin. My neck and chest have never felt so soft or looked so supple! Finally, I use the product on my elbows and hands, concentrating on any rough spots, and even my fingernails. I'm still looking for new things to scrub each time I use it!
This product is great for acne, although not when you're having an actual breakout. I used this after a breakout, and it make the marks disappear faster and my skin has remained quite clear ever since. Also, my skin care products are far more effective now since all dead skin is removed and no longer preventing deep absorption. This product has been good to my sensitive skin and believe it is safe for most sensitive types. There are two settings on the machine, so anyone with delicate skin can try the lowest setting at first.
I also wanted to mention that others have been noticing how soft my face is looking and my mother is also using my rejuvenator. My boyfriend can't keep his hands off skin. He is particularly fascinated with my super smooth nose and chin and constantly wants to touch them! This is great, as long as it doesn't cause me to break out!
Although I'm 35, I don't really have any wrinkles, but I can imagine that this product could be helpful with this issue as well. I highly recommend this product and I will continue to use this indefinately.
Customer Review: My skin glowed right after the first try!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This a good product and works as advertised. I am careful about what I apply to my skin and try not to abuse my face with too many chemicals. I take care of it by just cleaning my face every night with water or gentle cleansers and moisturize it regularly. This is a product that I can adopt as it is convenient to use, fast, not at all messy and gives great results.
It's simple to use, the abrasive pad sticks on to a head that goes onto the massager wand. Then you turn it on, to the low or high speed setting, and gently massage your face while the abrasive pad does the work to slough dead cells off your face. I found that not pressing too hard is better while moving the hand in circular motion in an upward direction. When you gently massage your face you'll feel a tingling sensation as it gets "rejuvenated" . I have good skin but it took on a luminous glow after using this product and also felt a little firmer right after the first try. It felt good after a week too, especially right after I use this massager on my face.
Applying a good moisturizer right after just adds to the effect. I use Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, Concentrated Amino-Peptide Complex, Fragrance Free - 1.7 fl ozwhich is a fabulous, fabulous product. Light, non greasy and makes my skin very smooth and soft.
Overall, I love the Nuetrogena Rejuvenator as it is less messier than the other products like the microdermabrasion cream. It also seems to be gentler yet more effective than some other products out there. I'll not be using this wand more than the recommended 2-3 times a week as I've found with previous experience that less is more to maintain my skin. Due to the abrasive nature of the pads - despite their gentleness - I'll also caution you from using it if you have very sensitive skin or acne prone skin. I do recommend this product if you have healthy skin and want a product which will take care of fine lines that start appearing post 35. I will post an update here after I've used it for a few more weeks.
Customer Review: Brighter, softer skin in just a few weeks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Although I have pretty good skin already, as I approach my forties, I am every more conscious of preventive measures regarding skin care and health in general. Because of this, for the last year or so, I've been interested in trying a home microdermabrasion kit, but had not yet taken the time to do so. Then Amazon Vine posted the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator for review, and I jumped at the chance. Having long trusted the Neutrogena brand, I felt comfortable trying their latest skin care gadget.
Neutrogena didn't let me down. From the very first use, I could tell a difference. My skin felt softer, looked a little brighter. Now, after several weeks of use, I would even venture the expression `soft as a baby's butt' in regards to my skin.
The Rejuvenator is easy to use, with disposable pads that simply stick sort of Velcro-like onto the device. The pads have some kind of cleanser in them, and they create very mild suds as you apply them to your face with the tool. The cleanser has a very light aroma that is simply clean and fresh, as you may expect from Neutrogena. At the time I wrote this review, I was able to easily find refill pads in several local retail stores and online.
The tool itself fits comfortably in the hand, without excess weight. However, once you turn it on, the vibration is very strong in the hand, to the point I can feel it all the way into my wrist. While not painful, it is a bit weird and I still haven't become quite used to it after several weeks of use. Still, requiring only a few minutes of use three times a week, I can live with this, especially after seeing the effect it has on my skin.
While the vibration feels a bit strong in the hand, it does not feel so on the face, which is good. It is very comfortable as it works the skin, not at all abrasive as I feared it might be.
All in all, I have to rate this unit with five stars. I am very pleased with the effects it has had so far and have already purchased refill pads with the intent of continuing using it indefinitely.
