Stridex Conditioning Acne Scrub {Review}

Disclosure: I received one bottle of Stridex review in exchange for my honest opinion. Please see my Disclosure Policy.

Now that spring is finally showing its face here in Chicago, I want to show off my best face too!  I want to shed layers both on my body and my skin!  Yes my skin too, which mean I need to exfoliate.  Well Stridex has been a trusted brand by generations since 1959 and they just realeased a new products, Stridex® Conditioning Acne Scrub.

Stridex® Conditioning Acne Scrub may seem like a regular facial cleanser on the outside but it has super-fine exfoilating balls, skin-healthy vitamins and botanicals and an effective acne-fighter built in.  The scrub provides deep cleansing and exfoilation for your skin that is gentle enough for daily use.  It isn’t rough enough that it will scratch or gouge your skin, which I mean who wants their face to look like a war zone?  Some of the ingrediants are:

• Acerola Cherry Extract – contains high level of natural vitamin C and antioxidants for healthy skin.
• Bergamot Citrus – a traditional treatment for acne and other skin conditions.
• Honey – known for its antiseptic and moisturization properties.
• 2% salicylic acid which works as an acne buster and prevents pimples and blackheads

I wash my face twice a day but if I’m not careful I can do more damage than its worth.  I have an oily forehead but a dry rest of my face, so I need something gentle but that works.  Lately I have been breaking out, pretty much worse than when I was in high school! I used to use those exfoliating cleanses that have the little beads in them that really scrub your face.  The problem with those though is they would irritate my face causing redness and I was afraid it was actually opening my pores to irritants.  When I saw that Stridex came out with a Conditioning Acne Scrub I was intrigued.  I used to use those Stridex pads to clean my face and honestly I don’t know why I stopped using them.

Now even though Stridex Conditioning Acne Scrub is an exfoliating cleanser, the beads are small and gentle it doesn’t irritate my skin.  I could feel them in there but it was more of a gentle gritty feeling.  Really gentle but still scrubbing those dead cells off my face.  The smell was also nice and refreshing.  Usually Salicylic acid bothers me too but I it didn’t with this cleanser.  I really like this cleanser by Stridex and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a gentle yet effective acne scrub!
