Baby Blue 0 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I want to say that I read somewhere (maybe here) that the smoother the bp, the better the product. THe grittiness is supposedly a sign of low quality bp. I am not for sure, but that is what I THINK I read. Anyone, feel free to correct me (or agree). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brandolynn 287 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I don't think they're supposed to be gritty. Maybe you product got dried out or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pjcq 0 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I use Clearasil's product, and they recently changed their packaging, and the new tube I got IS a little grainy. I don't know if it was just my tube or what, but I can definitely feel a little spikiness when I'm putting it on.It's not like sand or anything, but I can for sure tell. I think Brandy is right and it's about the dryness of the cream base. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
think76 2 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Some BP's are gritty. High quality products typically aren't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elsewhere 33 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Holy moly, I was JUST going to post this very same question! Thank you for doing it for me!I bought a generic BP brand and it's SERIOUSLY gritty. Doesn't feel good. I'm going back to Clean N' Clear's BP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Belle04 0 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I was using Spectro Acne Care BP, which is a nice smooth lotion, but it comes in a very small bottle. So I decided to try PanOxyl Aquagel, expecting a nice smooth gel, but it was so grainy and hard to rub in!! I really did not like it. I think I just blew my money on that one! So I guess this really dosen't answer the question, but that's my experience. Although I don't know which one really is better, I prefer by far the smoother BP lotion.
