Ok, so I bought this scrub with so many expectations, but hey I didn't expect it to clear my blackheads within 3 days(guys!!! lets be realistic!)I was willing to give it 3 weeks time. I have been using this for a bit more than 3 weeks now and I have to say before hand itself that I don't have many blackheads on my nose, but if one comes real close, they can find it.
Pros:-
A pretty good scrub
Has real tiny beads
Doesn't scratch that bad eventhough its a bit grainy
I used it all over my face everysingle day and didn't dry out my face(maybe 'coz I have really oily skin)
Easy availability
Packaging is hygienic
Price 90 rs
Cons:-
Did not see much of a difference.
Let me show you with proof
(above) before pic.look closely u can see my blackheads.This is after using the clean and clear, well, I don't think there is any need for me to post a pic before using the scrub, because my nose looked pretty much the same!!!!
I didn't see any difference, so, I used the Michelle Phan (youtube guru) method of removing blackheads and believe me it worked like a charm!!!!
The method:-
Take 1 tbs of gelatin powder and 1 tbs milk, mix it together really well in a pan and then microwave it for 10 secs. After that put the gooey stuff on your nose(make sure that you don't lay it on too thick, otherwise it might take a loooooooonggggg time to dry and you may not get the desired results) and wait for it to dry (max 15 mins).Peel it off and voila!!!! your nose is blackhead free 98% in just one go!!!! Do you need proof......... see this!!!!
My nose that seemed "normal" had these many blackies!!!!!!! :( (click on pic and zoom in)
Anyway this is my nose after the blackhead removal.Its so clean and shiny!!!!!!!! :)
I am gonna attach other one, this belongs to a friend of mine and he doesn't want me to reveal his name and he fought with me when I told him that I am gonna put his "peel off"pic on my blog. Hey, its not my hubbys :p (he has a real nice shiny blackhead free nose...:( ya i know........go figure!!!!) So, brace yourself.........this is going to be gross!!!!
So, after seeing his results, I am never going to get myself another blackhead removal scrub(maybe summin that refines pores and reduces sebum along with it!!!)
So, which one are you going to opt for.........

OMG!!!That's really impressive! I'll try that tomorrow!
This is the perfect article for me!!! I really like the Michelle Phan idea, I'll certainly try that at some time.
wow, that peel off is really interesting. i think i've used this before and don't remember seeing much of a result.
I've tried this before, but it didn't work, I put too thick of a layer!
I dont have much blackheads..but I loved using clean n clear as a face wash..refreshes me instantly...
I'll try this sooner.....
So which mask did your friend use? Did that work for him?
@MCAI:-yup u should giv it a shot!
@aarthi:- the second (gross pic) one that my friend used was also the gelatin method! it rocks!
I do the gelatine mask on my entire face :D....
I knw sounds like too much... but it's better than a mud pack
:D which has million chemicals :D
Wow, that's all I can say. I'm definitely trying this tomorrow. It was a really good idea to post the photographs!
