Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-off Formula 50ml

Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-off Formula 

This is actually a gift that came with the Mothers Day Smart Skin Clinique Set. I will be reviewing that set separately later on. Anyway, it's a sample size of 50ml which isn't that bad in my opinion. It's a good sample to test try and I've been using this once a week for about a month. As you can see from the image above featuring a brand new flower c:, there's still quite a lot of product left!

Description:
Dermatologist-developed exfoliating cream that deflakes and refines the face. It helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and clears the way for moisture. The product is suitable for all skin type.

Directions: 
-Massage gently over makeup-free skin
-Avoid eye area
-Do not use on active breakout
-Rinse with warm water or tissue off
-Follow with your 3-Step Skin Care System

What Do I Think About It?
The scrub cream is really gentle and that is a plus for sensitive skin. They claim it's gentle enough to use everyday hence the name 7 day scrub cream, but I don't want to try that. Using it once a week is enough for me. It is a white thick texture that has tiny microbeads in there. I wasn't able to see the actual beads, but once I started rubbing them into my hand, I can certainly feel the beads. I love the feel of it on my face, very gentle and there's no scent at all. No floral, no fruity, no scent. I have a dry patch around the tip of my nose and after using the product, the dry patch disappeared. *poof* 

It did not dry out my skin, in fact my face felt clean and smooth. My face wasn't irritated at all and I think it did a good job cleaning out my pores around my cheek. However it wasn't strong enough to deeply clean out my pores around my nose and blackheads. 

The product also claims to minimize the appearance of fine lines and I can't really verify that... I don't have major fine lines on my face so I have nothing to say about that claim.

PROS
-Gentle enough for sensitive skin
-Keeps face clean and smooth
-Exfoliates well 
-No fragrance 
-Dermatologist approved 

CONS
-Wasn't strong enough to get rid of blackheads or white heads

Rate = 7/10
