Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti-Aging Power Treatment Kit
Customer Review: Fun to use, leaves skin healthy
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've been using this product for several weeks, and I plan to get more of the blue power puffs when these run out. This kit is really easy to use, and leaves my face feeling significantly younger and firmer. My skin is smoother to the touch.
Now, all that being said--I don't think that this little device is any better than a regular facial scrub. If you regularly use one of those, you'll probably not see a lot of benefits from using this instead. However, if you are like me--and relatively lazy in the morning--you find that you skip the scrub for months on end. That's where I think the real beauty of this device comes in. It's much easier to clean up than one of those abrasive scrubs, and it's fun. (It vibrates. Need I say more?)
If you are one of those people (like me) who love brushing with an electric toothbrush much more than you like using a boring old manual, you'll probably find this kit entrancing, and find you're taking better care of your face because it's much more fun.
Customer Review: Of the two new facial cleansers from Neutrogena, this one is my favorite

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator came out at the same time as the Neutrogena Wave - Deep Clean Power Cleanser with 14 Foaming Pads - Battery Included - Plus Refill Pack of 14 Foaming Pads - 28 Pads Total. The HSR is a bit more expensive, and comes in a blue box. I've tried both and I have to say that this one is my favorite of the two. It provides gentle exfoliation without overly drying my skin and leaves no hint of redness or irritation. The vibrations are a bit more hardcore than with the Wave, but since this is considered a microdermabrasion kit, I think that's to be expected. Another difference is that this one isn't water resistent, whereas the Wave cleanser is. If you're looking for a product that you can use in the shower, you might want to go with the Wave instead. However, if you're sick of shelling out $150 for professional microdermabrasion, the HSR will save you some money and produce nearly perfect results. It leaves my skin shiny and smooth even when used only twice a week.Customer Review: a great skin polisher with a few negatives

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have gotten a few skin treatments at spas and this product does not compare. But I do love the smooth feel and brighter appearance of my skin after two weeks of use and I hope that continued use will bring better results still.
PROS:
* the convenience of being able to use the system at home
* the cost of this system versus spa treatments
* the results are not as good as promised but still, nicer skin
CONS:
* the amount of effort it takes to find replacement pads in a store
* it takes 1-2 minutes for each spot of skin (a little tiring)
* if you use this system on your forehead, solution gets into your eyes
and stings!
If you are looking to brighten up tired looking skin, this is the system for you. Just don't think it's going to remove fine lines or anything on a grander scale and you'll be happy. I know I intend to keep using this product as long as I can find those darn replacement pads.
Customer Review: Save Your Money
Summary: 2 Stars
This overpriced gadget is totally unnecessary. I get comparable results at a far cheaper price with a buff pad, facial scrub, or an exfoliant. It's time consuming to use, is noisy, and the pads don't always stay on. If you don't apply them to the unit in the exact and precise manner as described, they'll slip off. You only get a small supply of pads in the kit, so the customer must make additional purchases. The pads are quite expensive, and there are no generic pads available. I paid $34.95 for the gadget and $20 more for the pads. Far too expensive for what it does.
It is not a quick process when you consider the time it takes to get the pad on and then applying the device in a circular motion to different sections of the face for minutes at a time. My arm got tired. And the noisy battery-operated unit was annoying. Instructions on the box make it sound like it's easy to use and affordable. You have to buy the item and get more complete instructions inside the box to know how it works. After you try it, you will ask yourself "why?"
I tried to return it to the store, but they wouldn't take it back because it had been used.
Customer Review: A capable multi-tasker

Neutrogena's 'Healthy Skin Rejuvenator' does exactly what it sets out to do - gives your facial skin a healthy and invigorating dermabrasion-esque scrub for pennies on the dollar from the comfort of your own home. Setting this up couldn't be easier and Neutrogena includes everything you need to get started right out of the box including 2 AA batteries and 12 Rejuvinating Puff Pads. The device has 2 settings - low and high. I found the low setting to be perfectly adequate in giving your face the needed scrub over without feeling too overpowered. My personal opinion is that the high setting was a bit extreme but feeling slightly knotted up on my shoulders that day as a result of some long racquetball sessions I applied the rejuvinator (sans puffs of course) to my muscles and found the device to also function very well as a portable massage device. This 2 for 1 functionality makes this product a good value in my book.
