Review of Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub

Whenever I run out of facial scrubs, I go out and restock on a binge. I find that I cannot make up my mind, I get overwhelmed, and I end up purchasing three different bottles of scrub. Normally I only do this whenever I see that a company has made something new. If I see that three different companies have made new facial care products I buy them all. It's a bad habit, but I care about my face a lot, so the bad habit is really a benefit to my skin.

During my most recent binge on facial care products I came home with a large squeeze tube of Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub.
 
The reason I bought the scrub was mainly due to the fact that it was something new from Olay, and I have been a fan of Olay for quite some time now. The other reasons of course go out to the promises the scrub had made.

It promised to exfoliate, and clean deep deep down into the pores in order to purify the complexion of the skin. The scrub also promises to polish away dull skin, while minimizing pores and leaving the skin clear.

The promise has of course been heard a million times over and over again. Just about every facial scrub I have come across promise the same, or similar results to the skin. Olay however usually comes through with their promises, so I felt like the $7.99 I spend on the scrub would be a good investment for my skin.

My Use:
 
In the bathroom I clicked open the cap, and squeezed out a generous portion of the scrub into my palms. The scrub itself has a grapefruit transparent coloring to it. I was able to spot the small studs of exfoliating scrub in the formula.

The scent was refreshing, but at the same time really weak. I usually like rinsing my face with citrus scented products because they give me a good burst of refreshing energy after I use them. Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub sort of disappointed in the scent department.

After wetting my face a bit, I went to work at scrubbing the formula into my face. The exfoliating beads did a pretty good job at lightly scraping the surface of my skin, without being harsh or painful.

After scrubbing it around for a little bit, I then rinsed. My face felt refreshed and clean, but I have used other scrubs that have left my skin feeling fantastic and rejuvenated. Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub failed as far as leaving that 'beautiful' clean feeling behind after drying off.

Long Term Results:
 
I have been using Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub for over a week now, and have noticed no changes in my skins appearance at all. I continue to use it to see if there are any long term benefits, but after waking up this morning and discovering small breakouts, I decided to bring this one back for a refund. I do not know if the break outs have anything to do with this scrub, but breakouts like this do not happen too often for me. Usually they only occur when I am using a bad product that my skin does not agree with.

Overall:
 
I'd recommend saving your money and buying another scrub.
