Beauty: Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Warming Treatment

The box says: 
"Use the gentle power of warming sensation to help eliminate blackheads for visibly clear and healthy looking skin"

"Instantly warms up to open pores.  "Blackhead Fighting Complex" then penetrates into pores to promote the removal of dirt, oil, and even stubborn blackheads"

"Cedarwood extract and moisturizer help strengthen the skin's natural water and oil balance, and prevent the new blackheads from forming with continuous use"

I will not claim to be an expert on beauty but I have very sensitive skin and have tried quite a number of products and I must say, this one did not give me anything but softer skin that feels very clean. Start with a clean face, apply and massage onto the skin.  It will feel slightly gritty when you apply it but as you continue massaging your face, it will feel even more grainy.  At this point, I think it's doing what it's supposed to do.  I've only used it twice and so far I'm liking it.  

Got this from the pharmacy for only HKD 85 (PHP 460 / USD 11). It comes in a box with 6 5mg tubes.  Each tube is good for about 5 uses so that's approximately HKD 2.80 per use (PHP15 / USD 0.35). Not bad if you don't have access to a derma clinic.  BUT! I think this works only if you have "normal" skin.  "Normal" as opposed to "perfect" and "problematic" skin, not the beauty-speak skin typing.  

It's a neat product and I rate it with ♥.
