BV Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth skin After using the liquid exfoliating for the past 4 weeks, starting gradually and increasing the usage every other day, or every day based on my skin needs, my skin surface and texture improved considerably. I applied it on a cotton pad and gently going across my face and neck. I can detect a mild scent but this is due to the glycolic and citric acid, but this fades away while the skin get dry. Having a combustion skin , dry patches and acne prone in the same time , this really helped my skin texture a lot by gently removing the dead skin cells and excess oil , exposing a smooth skin and in the same time maintaining skin moisture barrier

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Needs time but is good I tried the product for about a month and I believe is very good but needs longer for your skin to show any difference. At the beginning I followed the directions of using it once a week. I’m glad I did it because it felt like tingling and my face became red, just as when you start with retinol serums. Those effects didn’t last too long and I started using it at least three times in a week. Because the use is not daily from the beginning, you’ll need a bit longer to start noticing any significant changes, but I did noticed that after every use my skin felt smoother and looked radiant. I do recommend if you, like me, deal with dark spots due to hormonal changes or age and want to even out the skin tone and improve the skin appearance.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Neutrogena toner I am very happy that I had an opportunity to try this toner and I am impressed. It actually works fine,just need to be very careful with using, because this is not for everyday use. I just started to use once in a week and then extended, but not recommend to use it more than 3 times a week because I am used to used acids, but for someone who is not, then 1-2 times is optimal. This product definitely helped me to heal faster my post acne marks and makes my skin glowy.When applied,it's a bit stings for a while and my face gets red, so just used in the evenings,but other day looks nice and glowy. Another plus ,that this product didn't dryed my skin out and also there is no fragrance, so highly recommend for those who don't have sensitive skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Helped even my skin I have been using this product for a few weeks now, and I have noticed a difference in my skin. When I first started using it, my skin felt a little tight, but it didn't last long. After a few weeks, my skin looks more even, and some of my acne marks have faded. My skin feels and looks a little smoother and more radiant, and I haven't had as many spots. The acne that I have had has gone a lot quicker than normal for me. Overall, I would say that it has done more good for my skin, and I would definitely buy this product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not Convinced The first thing that struck me was the packaging. I personally would not choose it if I saw it on the shelf as it currently looks. The mix of black, red, and white looked more like an industrial cleaner or product for my car and gave me the impression it would contain harsh chemicals. The first time I used it stung a little but that can be quite normal so I stuck with it. I can't really see any difference and I didn't really enjoy using it but I could have been put off by my associations on the packaging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feeling fresh on my skin! This item can fade acne marks and rebalance my oily skin (T-zone). I like that it can reduce excess oil, which can lead to blemishes, and I've seen at least a 50% reduction in my blackheads. I recommend using it once a week at first to let your skin get used to it, and then maybe increasing to twice a week. The ingredients help visibly refine the skin's texture. Additionally, I appreciate that it comes in a recyclable bottle made of 50% recycled plastic and has fully recyclable packaging!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exfoliatient I added this to my night routine after cleanse and toning I applied a small amount on a cotton pad and gentle rubbed all over my face avoiding my eye area it tingled for a few minuets but settled down. The product took away any oils and dirt left in my skin and left my face looking fresh and felling really clean after a week of using the product I could see and feel a visible difference my skin is super soft and it didn't cause any reactions or blemishes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really helped to clear up my skin I love this Neutrogena Liquid Exfoliant. In the 4 weeks I have been using this exfoliant, it really has helped to clear up my skin, making my skin look much more smoother and healthier. I have combination skin that can be a little sensitive. I tend to suffer with spots around my nose and chin area, some of which can take ages to disappear. When I first started using the exfoliant, I used it every other night for about 1 week, I then went on to use it every evening. It does sting slightly but it is bearable. It has helped to control excess oil around my nose and chin, without drying out my skin. If I had one criticism it would be the packaging, it doesn't look very attractive and reminds me of a supermarket own brands food. But as for the liquid exfoliant itself, brilliant stuff and I would definitely recommend it to others.
