I have been missing in action for some time now...havnt posted since 2 weeks and really lagging behind in reading other blogs too :( Just caught up with alot of things in life but I hope to get back to regular blogging now..
The product I am going to talk about today is a new launch in the market and I had been waiting to try it since the time I saw the ads on TV which looked quite appealing but I was sceptical about its tall claims so wanted to try for myself....Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub!
The scrub comes in the std C&C packing of a blue colored tube with dark blue top cover.
What it claims : A unique blend of micro-scrubbing beads works to break down trapped dirt, oil and dead skin cells that can cause blakcheads. Next, the natural apple extract formula penetrates deep down into the pores to help soften stubborn blackheads and prevent new ones from forming. Its gentle exfoliating action gives you visibly less blackheads in just 3 days for a clean, clear and beautiful skin.
Claims to be oil-free. Wont clog pores. Visibly less blackheads in 3 days!
Active Ingredients :
This is not just a scrub, but a lathering scrub or a facewash if you may say so.
To use, squeeze product on palm and work into a rich lather. Gently massage lather onto face, concentrating on blackhead prone areas like nose and chin.

The facewash/scrub is not at all runny in texture,it is almost transparent with extremely micro scrubbing particles, some blue in color. The texture of the scrub is also very very soft and hence it is gentle for daily use too. It smells quite pleasant.
Price : Rs. 90 for 80 gm.
What I like about C&C Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub :
- As per the claim, the scrub is very gentle for daily use. It is not at all abrasive or harsh on the skin
- It leaves the face squeeky clean and I like the feel of my skin after use. My skin feels very soft because afterall it is a scrub!
- Does not leave my skin dry after use.
- The fragrance is very pleasant.
- It stands true to its claim of not clogging pores. At times I noticed that the pores on my chin had opened up after using this scrub.
What I dont like about C&C Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub :
- It fell totally short on its tall claim of less blackheads in just 3 days for me !! I dont have heavy blackheads and I did not see any reduction in the number of blackheads even after using this for more than 3 days !! It works just like a normal facewash and does nothing to reduce the blackheads which is the main purpose of this product!
- Though it did open up the pores on my chin at times, it strangely did not work on the blackheads on my nose ??
Have you tried this blackhead clearing daily scrub? Does it work on your blackheads?
Haven't used this.. I remember using their facewash when I was in college.. Nothing works on my blackheads too - the only solution I have found is to use the TBS facial buffer everyday - somehow it keeps the new ones frm coming up. Glad u r back, missed yr posts & you too :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanveer...I missed you guys and reading your posts soo much !!
ReplyDeleteI love the TBS buffer too...infact it was your review only which made me buy that and now my mom loves it too!!
hmm...this is the new launch of them naa...but it looks so pretty in the pic..or it may be because u always click good pics:D
ReplyDeletei would surely try it out
ya its their new launch anu...I wud suggest try the smaller pack if u do want to try it :) n thanks for appreciating the pics always !!means a lot :)
ReplyDeletehi HD..long tym...I heard of this but I actually was not sure at all if this would stand to its claim as hardly anythg claiming to remove blackheads work..nice review..
ReplyDeleteI have been seeing the ads, and i was sure it was a product with lofty claims... so dint even bother to try it... I remember Ponds had removd their blackhead removal nose strips some yrs ago. Even that dint work ! I guess there is no product that can remove blackheads.
ReplyDeletegonna get this sooon as i want a gentle scrub

hey Bhumika...yeah long time :) even I wanted to check how true they stand to their tall claims so got to test it :) how r u doing?
ReplyDeleteYeah princess...I guess ur right..there is no product that will completely solve the blackhead problem for us...BTW which city do you belong to?
ReplyDeleteHey Aswathy...thanks for visiting and welcome here :) if u wanna try this as a gentle scrub then you might not be disappointed..
ReplyDeleteHi HD, I am a Bombay girl ! I guess only a proper cleanup can remove the prob of blackheads completely.. and that too, only temporarily...
ReplyDeleteOh ur from bombay too..thats gr8! yeah even clean-up will solve the problem temporarily...but yes a good skin care routine can help reduce blackheads for sure
ReplyDeleteYes, ofcourse. It can reduce them and also prevent new ones from popping up. I heard somewhere that toothpaste+salt can help. So many methods you hear everywhere... if only atleast some wld work !:P
ReplyDeleteha ha...so true!! only if some wud work or maybe we girls learn to live with it which is difficult...only thn will life be simple :D
ReplyDeletehehe... rite. btw, hv u tried that toothpaste thingy ? was wondering if it works ! no harm in trying na... ;)
ReplyDeletenope..havnt tried yet..will surely let you know how it fares if I experiment with it :)
ReplyDeleteOhk ! Tc :)
