Clean & Clear Morning Burst Shine Control Facial Cleanser with Bursting Beads (Lime) - Review

I really liked Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub, and when the tube ran out, I of course went out for another tube of it. I loved the mandarin orange scent, I loved how it kept my skin clear and lightly scented with a nice citrus smell. It wasn't the greatest of products in the world, but I fell in love mostly with the mandarin orange scent.

When I went looking for the facial scrub though, I instead came across a new scent. Instead of just having the option of a morning burst of orange, I now had the option for a morning burst of lime.

Seeing how I could not find the lime scent in a facial scrub I went for the facial cleanser. It looked nearly the same; only it wasn't a scrub...it was just soap.

Inside of the pump down bottle though there were tiny bursting beads in blue and light green. Supposedly these beads would burst when you rinse, releasing energy and vitamins. The energy though is given off by the lime scent, the vitamins...um...I guess those are for your face.

I didn't really pay much attention to the bottle in the store. I knew I liked the Morning Burst line, so I had a feeling I would love the facial cleanser as well.

At home though (while on the John), I got to reading the back of the bottle. Basically this lime scented facial cleanser promised to remove dirt, oil, and impurities, while leaving it shine free all day long.

The promise seemed bold, but I got excellent results with the scrub, so I surely thought I would get excellent results with Clean & Clear Morning Burst Shine Control Facial Cleanser with Bursting Beads.

That night:

I pressed down on the pump, and the gel came out with ease, sadly though there were no beads in the first pump; so of course I pumped again. I got one bead, one solitary blue bead.

I ran a small amount of water in my palms just to work up some sort of lather...only there was no lather. I rubbed the gel into my face anyway. The scent was lovely; a mild lime and citrus scent was what I got out of it. The scent was not harsh or too strong, and I really liked it. The scent really did give me that POW, BLAM, BOOM wake me up feeling.
