Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti-Aging Power Treatment Kit
Customer Review: AWESOME Results at Home!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product!!
As an active mom, my skincare regime was limited to washing my face at night before bed, and once in a while using a mask to help purify pores and tighten skin. Then I bought the Neutrogena Skin Rejuvenator and it's really made a difference in how my skin looks and feels. I still just wash my face before bedtime, but then I use the applicator with a scrubbing pad and give my face the once-over. It takes only a few minutes and my face feels cleaner and --get this-- RELAXED-- by the massaging power of the vibrating applicator.
I used to have dark circles under my eyes, but the massaging action coupled with the exfoliation pads improved the skin under my eyes remarkably! It improved circulation and skin tone within a matter of two weeks of recommended use (3x a week with the pads-- every other day) I actually took 10 years off my appearance (so says my husband). I wish I could show you a 'before' and 'after' photo! It didn't actually remove my wrinkles, but it did smooth them out a little as circulation improved in my skin and collagen was able to rebuild itself there. My friends have noticed the difference too and at least one of them has gone out and bought the product for herself!
While the pads might seem rough on your skin at first, usually this is because your skin is not used to being scrubbed. But the pads really aren't harsh at all and you adjust the pressure and length of time that you use the applicator. I wasn't thrilled with the micro-dermabraision cream and pad that can be used with the applicator though-- the fine crystals actually caused my pores to clog and if you get any of the cream in your eyes when rinsing, you can scratch your corneas.
Overall, I would recommend the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator to everyone.
Customer Review: Does a great job. Worth the cost.
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion kit that uses this same wand. I ended up rarely using it, and by the time I needed a new container of the dermabrasion cream the company had stopped producing it. I figured I would give these a shot since I already had the wand, and I was very happy that I did.
I found the puffs much easier to use than the cream. The puff attaches to the wand via some pseudo-velcro, which works well, I've never had a problem with it coming loose or detached during use. I've found that you can either wet your face, or wet the puff prior to use; each method works equally well for me.
The puff feels good on my face, and the cleanser is non irritating. I have mildly sensitive skin that tends to be oily, and some cleansers end up making my skin even more oily. I haven't had this problem with this system at all, and it hasn't caused any breakouts or rashes. My face does tend to be a little red after use, but it fades pretty quickly.
The best thing about this system is that my skin feels absolutely amazing after using it. It immediately feels softer and smoother and the feeling lasts for at least 24 hours. My skin tone does appear more even, and my pores smaller. Since I'm in my mid 20's I don't really have any wrinkles so I'm really not sure how it does in that respect.
One thing I also like about this system is that I can use the puff without the vibrating wand. This makes it easier to scrub around my eyes and along the sides of my nose. I haven't tried it out yet, but I bet it would also work well on rough knees, elbows, and feet.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone (male or female) who is looking for a good facial scrubbing system.
Customer Review: New Year, New Scrub, New Skin
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Want a better complexion in the New Year? This little kit, might just be the way to get it.
The kit, which is used for home microdermabrasion (aka power-exfoliating) comes with an applicator (machine which runs on 2AA batteries, which are provided), and 12 puffs which contain ultra-fine exfoliating crystals and "mild purifiers".
It's easy to use. The puffs attach to the machine-head, via a velcro-like substance, then you wet them, and gently go over each area of your face for about two minutes. (Go easy!) When you're finished, you'll see a better tone to your skin (blood circulation is up, so you'll be slightly pink), and your skin will feel noticeably smoother.
I gave this just a one-time use, so I can't report on what long-term results will be. But so far, it's a nice cleaning and exfoliating system.
If you use a scrub regularly, I think you'll enjoy the novelty of using the machine. But I gave it four stars instead of five because:
--cost of the batteries and replacement pads will be more than your usual trusty tube of facial scrub.
--simple is good, and that old tube of scrub can be left in the shower, and used regularly.
--"old-fashioned" scrubs require just your hands. The machine part is novel, but I don't think my face felt any better than when I used a certain apricot-scrub that comes in a tube.
If you like gadgets, you'll like this. If you just want better skin, any good scrub will do.
Customer Review: At-Home Spa Treatment
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The major differences I found between using this product and getting microdermabrasion at a spa were (1) price and (2) pampering. Additionally, this treatment was a bit gentler than the spa microdermabrasion; however, I like that it can be done at home a few times a week to maintain the benefits.
One of the drawbacks of spa treatment is that you end up spending a lot of money every few weeks or so if you want to keep the effects. Using this product as part of your regular personal care routine saves time and money while getting results that are almost as good as the professional treatments.
You will notice some effects instantly. From the first time I used the product my skin felt smoother and tighter. I have been using the Skin Rejuvenator for just over two weeks, and my skin is smoother. I have not noticed a reduction in small wrinkles, but it is really too soon to tell.
There are good instructions for using the product, but you should adjust them based on your skin. For example, if you skin is very sensitive, you will probably want to use it for a shorter time than the 1 - 2 minutes per area recommended.
I like this better than many of the facial scrubs I have tried because the pads are not as messy and do a better job of smoothing away dead skin cells.
For just a little more than the cost of one spa treatment, you can use the Skin Rejuvenator for more than a year. That seems like a bargain to me!
Customer Review: Much Better Deal than Pro Treatments
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My wife and I have both used this and really like the results. There was a noticable glow and we had a more even complexion right after the first treatment. There are several of these products out there but this one is nice because the the pads have the cream built into them...just add water. Another we have requires you apply the abrasive mixture before using, then clean the spongy pad afterwards, a pain. With this one you just remove the old pad and rinse, very easy. I am not sure what replacement pads cost, but considering what you'd pay at the dermatologist or beauty salon, you are still getting a better deal. The pads foam up nicely and you can really feel it working. My wife and I both liked the scent of the the solution, not too harsh.
If I had to nitpick the only drawbacks would be the requirement to buy new pads after the initial supply runs out, the fact that the liquid can run into your eyes, and that the vibrations might be a bit too strong for some. I personally liked it though. It was hard to open the battery door the first time, but once you get it, then it is fairly easy after that.
Those are minor nitpicks though. If you want an easy to use, relatively inexpensive and effect battery powered dermabration tool, then I doubt you could do better without spending much much more! In fact, I am going to go give myself another treatment right now! ;']
