Product Reviews: Neutrogena Wave
I’m sure a lot of people have seen the commercial for the new Neutrogena Wave, when I first saw it I thought it looked interesting, and I wanted to try it out. While browsing Walgreen’s the other day I saw it on their shelf for $13.99, so I threw it in my cart.
The Wave comes in three colors; pink, blue, and green. It’s very compact and easy to handle. It’s waterproof so you can use it in the shower safely. It comes with 14 single use disposable pads…something I’m not to thrilled about. I hate creating more garbage, and buying refills at $10 dollars a pop gets expensive.
To use the Wave you stick one of the pads on the velcro like head, and push the button. Then the whole thing vibrates. I’ve used it about five times now. I really like it! After the first use my skin was noticeably softer, and had that cool, fresh, and clean feeling. I feel like it really cleans deep down. I haven’t experienced any breakouts either, which can be a possibility when switching cleansers. I think my skin is actually clearer since I started using it, and has less dry patches. I have noticed a slight stingy sensation while using the Wave, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.

Like the background music? It’s from the 1970’s porn collection.
Overall, I really like the Wave. Will I keep using it after I run out of pads? I don’t know. The Wave is great, but I don’t know if it’s worth buying the refills.
Pros: Small compact design, noticeably softer skin, cleans deep, and pretty colors.
Cons: expensive disposable pads, slight stinging sensation, and it uses batteries.

Yay, Hello Kitty shower curtain
The Wave is sooo weird, I’ve never seen it before, but now I kind of want to try it. I love the porn music, haha

EKK! I saw that and I have been wanting one for quite awhile! I’m waiting for some extra money to get the pink one! I’m so happy you did a review, because I want to make sure it is worth the money
Great porno music in the background ha ha

LOVE the music! And love the video, gorgeous!
I hate it that those refills are disposable! How environmentally un-conscious of them!
I had something like that, like those home micro-derm kits. I dunno what happened to it but it was similar, only you could wash and reuse the pads. I definitely need something because (presumably from switching birth controls this month) my skin is out of control.

Yeah those are good to open your pores and rejuvenate your skin. The stinging comes from your pores being open I think.

Omg, that part of my recent blog was so NOT directed at you, sweetie!!! ♥ If I ever had beef with you (which I don’t ever see happening), I’d have the decency to at least send you an e-mail about it! It was just an example that I wanted to use because I’ve seen, in LJ communities, shopping posts where people leave really really rude replies to the person.

Wow… I haven’t seen the commercial and this is the first time I’ve heard of it! That little video you did was awesome. And you look cute too! HAHAHA About the music… do you mean it’s from a porn video or is it a name of the band — 1970’s porn collection? it’s funny no matter what. HAHA!
About the animation, I use Image Ready. It comes with Photoshop. Maybe you can adjust the time frame on your program to speed it up. Around 1/10 or 2/10 of a second each frame.

Haha! I love the music, I’ll go hunt for it after I download all The Long Blondes albums I can get my hands on.
I think it’s going to be a while before the Wave gets to Philippine shores. But I hate a waste and anything disposable (except for razors, lol). Plus, I’m happy with my St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub.

I was going to email you, but I can’t find your email. lol, well if you have one feel free to add mine to your address book.
I’m not much of a blogger these days, so you can remove my link, but since I consider you ans the others on my blogroll to be friends, I’d like to stay in touch. And who knows perhaps later on down the line I’ll be out of my funk lol. Oh well, talk to you soon Crystal! It was lovely to link to you I’ll still drop by here though! 
*Hugs*

I’ve seen the commercial countless times and I wanted to get my hands on one the last time I went shopping. I’m glad you did this review, now I’m convinced to make my purchase. It looks like a great product. Hopefully we’ll have it here. It takes time for us to receive new products on the market since I live in the Caribbean.

oh wow I’ve never heard of that! I’m really big on skin care so I might have to give that a try!
March 16th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
aww happy belated to you =)
yeah i saw the commercial for that, was actually wondering about that myself. it seems kinda useless i dont know, it doesnt explain to me how it works but i’m thinking of trying it..

Hahahahaha. I was amused by the background music. I have REAAAALLLYY sensitive skin and I break out if I use anything other than the CVS generic version of the St. Ives Apricot Scrub, so I probably won’t try it. But it looks interesting.

I love cheesy old school porn music <3
I haven’t heard of this new product yet, but this post have definitely sparked my interest. I’d love to try it.
PS.. love the wig cam shots! lol

Hmm… I may check it out. But, I’d probably just forget to use it enough to make a difference in my skin, lol.
