Neutrogena Deep Clean Wave
Posted by admin on 30 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Beauty Products
While I admit to loving gadgets, beauty gadgets aren’t something I generally pay a lot of attention to … a good facial cleanser, a wash cloth, and I’m good to go.
I was shopping at my local Target this week and a pink product jumped out at me — the Neutrogena Deep Clean Wave

I looked at it, read the box, and decided to buy one. The price was $11.99 and I also saw it at Wal-Mart for $11.97.
The Wave is a battery-operated gadget that holds Neutrogena foaming pads to clean your face. The little foaming pad vibrates on your skin as it cleans off impurities, and feels kinda cool.
The box really didn’t have instructions but it wasn’t that hard to figure out that I had to put in the battery to use it. I did and it was simple. You then take one of the foaming pads — the unit comes with 2 bags of 7 pads each — and it self-sticks to the applicator on the Wave. You run the pad under running water to activate the foaming cleanser, then you then hit the on button and run it over your face.
It promises softer skin and clean skin. I’d say yep, it did what it promised. It removed all the makeup I had worn the day I bought it and left my skin makeup-free and soft. When done you simply peel off the disposable foaming pad.
In the past I’ve seen battery-operated gizmos like this but they always had brushes that didn’t seem to do what they were supposed to do.
In the box was a little flyer saying I could have a 3-dollar coupon by going online to the Neutrogena website and printing out the coupon. I did and went in search of a box of refills.

I did, however, have an issue buying refill pads. I checked at my local CVS Pharmacy, Rite-Aid Pharmacy, Walgreen’s and Target, where I purchased the original product. Nothing. Fortunately I was able to find 2 boxes of refills at Wal-Mart and bought them, approximately $6.50 per box of 30 refill pads and a new attachment head. They say they are “original” so I wonder what other type there are .. medicated?
The Wave is very small and easy to operate, and lightweight, and stores easily in a bathroom cabinet or vanity drawer. It’s a new product but I’m reasonably sure it will be available every where soon.
