Skin Care Reviews

09.28.18AD DISCLOSURE

The next time you’re browsing the skincare aisle at your local drugstore or Target, you’ll see plenty of shelf space devoted to one brand in particular- Neutrogena. This brand began with a bar of soap and is now one of the best known mass market skincare brands in the world, selling creams and serums, sunscreen and makeup. Here’s a look at Neutrogena, its product line and is it worth a try?

What are the Best Skin Care Products of 2020?

What Is Neutrogena?

Neutrogena traces its roots back to 1930 when founder Emanuel Stolaroff started a small specialty cosmetic company called Natone that was mainly a supplier to beauty salons affiliated with the film industry. By the 1940’s, Natone began making cosmetics for the retail market. A pivotal point for the company occurred in 1954, when, according to Neutrogena, Stolaroff  heard about a soap developed by the Belgian cosmetics chemist Dr. Edmond Fromont. The clear, mild soap was easy to rinse off and returned skin to its normal pH after washing. Stolaroff decided to imported and distribute the Neutrogena soap in the United States, and he focused on selling it to department stores and drug stores. In 1980 Neutrogena launched a haircare line, and was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 1994. Today Neutrogena sells skincare for men and women, sunscreen as well as makeup.

What is the Neutrogena Philosophy?

Neutrogena is a drugstore favorite brand that is known for its straightforward products. The company bills itself as “The #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand.” The brand balances heritage with innovation. The original glycerin soap is still available today in both a bar and liquid version, while some of the newer collections include Hydro Boost, which is powered by hyaluronic acid, and Bright Boost, which is centered around neoglucosamine, which helps brighten the appearance of skin.

What Does Neutrogena Sell?

Neutrogena sells a comprehensive line of skincare, haircare and sun protection products. Here’s a breakdown.

On its website, Neutrogena states, “The fact is, Neutrogena doesn’t conduct animal testing of our cosmetic products anywhere in world, except in the rare situation where governments or laws require it.”

What Ingredients Are in Neutrogena?

Neutrogena uses common skincare ingredients to formulate its products. The key ingredient in the Hydroboost line is hyaluronic acid, which acts like a sponge to absorb and retain water. The new Bright Boost collection is powered by neoglucosamine which, according to the company, is an amino sugar that helps make the skin feel softer and smoother, and also helps to brighten the face. Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is the signature ingredient in the Wrinkle Repair line. Other ingredients include the humectant glycerin; dimethicone (a silicone); ascorbic acid and citric acid (vitamin C), and shea butter.

Where Can I Buy Neutrogena ?

Neutrogena products are sold in drugstores including CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens, in large retailers including Target and Walmart. It’s also sold on Ulta and Amazon.

Does Neutrogena Work?

Even with cult favorite brands that have been around for decades, a little trial and error is always necessary to find the right products for your skin. It’s always helpful to look at customer reviews and editorial write ups as a starting point.   

Neutrogena has collected plenty of awards from People, Allure, Esquire, Self and Redbook. In 2019 Vogue included the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum in an article called “These 10 Hydrating Serums Will Make Dry Skin Vanish” – alongside pricier products from Dr. Sturm and SkinCeuticals. Neutrogena’s Wrinkle-Smoothing Night Cream has earned a Good Housekeeping Seal Star. According to a 2019 article in the magazine, “In a test on 120 women, an impressive 100% had noticeable results after one week; it diminished the look of deep forehead, cheek and crow’s-feet wrinkles as well as brightened skin tone in eight weeks.” Neutrogena’s Easy-On Sunscreen Spray was also a GH Lab test winner, for a  Bargain Buy. Their lab lowdown: “It ranked near perfect for effectively protecting skin from the sun.” A 2019 Real Simple article looking at “The Best Anti-Aging Products of All Time, According to Top Dermatologists” included the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel.

Editorial write ups aside, what do real people think?

On Influenster, some of the most reviewed Neutrogena products are its Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes (74,000 reviews); Neutrogena Naturals Face and Body Bar (23,000 reviews) and Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub (17,000 reviews). The Cleansing Towelettes, which also received a 2019 Influenster Reader’s Choice Award and a 4.4 out of 5 star rating, was called people’s “go to” and “seriously amazing.” As Katie R. wrote, “These have been my go to wipes for as long as I can remember. They make my skin feel soft and clean and as if I didn’t even have any makeup on my skin.” Customers who didn’t love it wrote that it was too drying or made their skin feel like it was burning. As Emily J. noted, “I can’t use these. They are so drying on my skin and I feel like I’m still left with a lot of makeup on my face after 2-3 wipes.”

The Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub gets a 4.2 out of 5 star rating on Influenster. Fans of the product loved how it made their skin feel. Kyla I. wrote that she is a longtime user – “I’ve been using this face scrub for 4 years. I don’t have terrible acne but this has definitely helped me cut down on breakouts.” Those who gave it low ratings wrote that it made them break out or found it to be too drying. “This just made my skin break out more I tried it because I had a few pimples and it made them worse,” wrote Wendy M.

The Hydroboost Gel-Cream has been reviewed more than 4,000 times on Amazon, with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating. The cream was called “the best” and a “lifesaver.” As one customer wrote, “Neutrogena Hydro Boost is nothing short of miraculous.” People that didn’t love it found it to be just “ok” or they had a bad reaction, like this user- “This stuff felt good when applied but dried my skin out. I thought I had sun burn on my face! Then it caused weird bumps. What is in here?!? My skin never reacts to anything. I will NEVER buy this again.”

On Reddit’s Skincare Addiction thread, much of the feedback is centered on the brand’s sunscreens and the Hydro Boost Gel cream. Reddit user Mxchiavxlli posted about the Neutrogena ultra sheer sunscreen liquid. “If I’m going bare faced, I love it. Leaves a soft velvety finish on my skin, isn’t greasy, goes on great over daytime serums. Under makeup though it’s a nightmare, even just simple B.B. cream. It pills and separates and clumps like you wouldn’t believe.” Some users compared Neutrogena’s moisturizers to CeraVe, like user Onigiri815 who wrote about the Oil Free Moisturizer. “This is a great basic, no frills moisturizer. I was a bit apprehensive because I was afraid it might be too heavy or emollient but it’s actually great. Compared to the CeraVe PM, it does have a very similar consistency. Because it is so basic, I don’t know if many people would rate it but I like that it does what I need it to do – moisturize and seal in my humectant layer underneath it.”

 What Are Some Alternatives to Neutrogena ?

Although Neutrogena is a popular drugstore buy, it may not work for everyone. Perhaps it did nothing for your skin or you’re looking for products that can do more.  There are a few other brands to consider.

Formulyst’s philosophy is long-term and effective skincare. The brand wants to help its customers achieve their best looking skin. Formulyst’s Super Hyaluronic Water Moisturizer helps keep skin hydrated and dewy looking. This oil free formula is packed with multiple types of hyaluronic acid and it works as a moisture magnet by drawing water to the skin.

It is gentle enough to be used every night, and also helps to visibly brighten dark spots and soften fine lines. Skin looks softer, smoother and radiantly revived when you wake up.

Neutrogena Deep Moisture Night Cream Review

The Neutrogena Deep Moisture Night Cream was designed to serve as a no frills, no fuss moisturizer that aims to increase skin’s moisture levels overnight. For those with ultra-dry skin or damaged moisture barrier, it can be challenging to find a product that doesn’t just hydrate at the surface, but works to improve your skin’s moisture balance overtime. This clinically proven formula is fast-absorbing and non-comedogenic while also providing the skin all of the necessary components to hydrate and moisturize all of the layers of your skin, so you wake up each morning feeling refreshed, comfortable and hydrated. The two main actives in this ingredients include vitamin D3 and glycerin. Both of these ingredients are key to balancing out skin’s moisture levels and ensure that the skin has everything it needs to perform essential skin processes.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion Review

The Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion was designed to act as the ultimate easy going, workhorse moisturizer, making it a great option for those who prefer a more minimal skincare routine. The formula behind this product offers users a moisturizing and hydrating base that blends seamlessly into the skin, while active ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids or AHAs gentle exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. To top it all off broad spectrum SPF15 protection helps to prevent sun damage which can contribute to further signs of premature aging. Each aspect of this formula works together to create a well rounded, single step approach to skincare. For example, since AHA’s like glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to UV damage, the SPF 15 acts as a buffer to ensure that even if you forget your daily SPF, you’re still covered. With all this said, this product does contain fragrance, so if you find fragranced skincare products to be irritating for you, this may not be the perfect option. But, outside of this, the minimalist formula behind this product makes for a great option for most skin types.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser Review

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser offers a slight twice of the classic exfoliating cleansers that are available at the drugstore. When most of us think about these types of products, our first thoughts are scrubs with various particles to physically exfoliate the skin in order to remove dead skin cells. But for some, this method can be irritating, while also not being quite as effective. As an alternative, products like the Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser utilize chemical exfoliants to remove dead skin cells. The two key chemical exfoliants within this product include papaya extract and lactic acid. Papaya extract contains natural chemical enzymes that provide a very gentle form of exfoliation. Lactic acid on the other hand is a slightly stronger chemical exfoliant which contains some unique benefits on its own. Lactic acid is often recommended for those with dry or mature skin types in particular because in addition to acting as a chemical exfoliant, this ingredient is also a humectant, meaning that it draws moisture into the skin. This negates any dryness or irritation that can come with frequent use of other exfoliants in favor of a more gentle and even alternative.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Grapefruit Scrub Review

The Neutrogena Grapefruit Scrub was designed to serve as an invigorating daily physical exfoliant for those who are looking for a acne-centered option for their skincare routine. This product has been a standout for the brand for quite some time, and is a fan favorite for its double-duty exfoliation. Starting off with the physical exfoliation, this product features jojoba beads, which gently been effectively exfoliate the top layer of skin to encourage the removal of dead skin cells and product buildup. Secondarily 2% salicylic acid goes to work deeper within the skin to clear out the pores and banish blackheads, white heads and bad bacteria which can lead to breakouts down the road. Now, as the name would suggest, this product does have a pretty hefty dose of fragrance, so if you’re sensitive to these ingredients, or prefer fragrance free skincare, this probably wouldn’t be the best option for you.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen Review

The Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen offers users an easy, budget friendly option for those who are looking for a super solid, staple sunscreen. When it comes to skincare, sunscreen can often be one of the most difficult products to nail down in your routine, because there are simply so many factors to consider. With different filters, formulas, naming conventions, and national regulations, trying to find a sunscreen and understand exactly what your buying can be extremely complicated. So, when it comes to assessing a sunscreen like the Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen, the easiest way to figure out if it will work for you is to take a look at the labeling. The Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen is labeled as broad spectrum SPF 55, which means that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, while also offering your protection from more than 98% of the sun’s rays. Additionally, the name Clear Face Sunscreen has been chosen to highlight this formula’s lack of a greasy whitecast, which is mainly due to its use of a few key chemical sunscreen filters.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub Review

The Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub is a great choice for those of you who love a good dose of physical exfoliation. These days, it often seems like there are way too many exfoliating products to choose from, and it can be difficult to narrow down which option is best for you and your skin type. Like the name would suggest, this product was designed to serve as a deeply purifying, yet gentle physical scrub that buffs away dead skin cells to reveal a smooth, soft as silk skin texture. If you’ve found that chemical exfoliants can be a bit too harsh for your skin, using a physical alternative like this one may be the perfect alternative for a once or twice a week treatment product. Some of the key ingredients within this formula include a few gentle surfactants to add a subtle cleansing effect, as well as a touch of salicylic acid to specifically target stubborn skin concerns like congestion and clogged pores.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Shine Control Powder Review

The Neutrogena Shine Control Powder was originally designed to offer users an easy to use, mattifying powder for makeup application as well as occasional touch ups throughout the day. Unfortunately, this product has been discontinued by the brand, but that doesn’t mean that you still can’t find a mattifying, mineral-based product from within this brand. Currently the brand offers 3 different powder face products for use as either finishing powders or powder foundations. This includes the SkinCleaning Mineral Powder, the Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation and the Loose Powder Foundation. Each of these products offers something a little bit different, and you may want to experiment a little before you settle on one powder over other. For example, if you’re looking to try out some of the brands most long standing products, you may want to check out the Loose Powder Foundation to see if it does the job for you.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation Review

The Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation was designed to serve as an on-the-go friendly powder compact for touching up throughout the day and minimizing the appearance of any oiliness or shine. This oil-free mineral foundation can act as both a sheer veil over foundation or concealer, or can be built up to offer a more impactful coverage for designated areas. The pressed powder formula uses pure and gentle minerals that have been selected by dermatologists in order to blur and perfect the skin without flattening out your features. Instead this pressed foundation delivering a subtle, radiant glow that makes the skin look youthful and healthy. Aside from the minerals in this formula, this product also contains antioxidants which help to protect your skin from daily environmental aggressors. These include things like pollution and free radicals, both of which can cause skin damage and lead to premature aging down the road. Utilizing a range of products that are antioxidant rich helps to protect your skin from all angles, preventing damage as well as correctly any damage that has been done in the past.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser Review

The Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser has remained a huge fan favorite cleanser for years, and for very good reasons. As a gentle, non-foaming cleanser with no fragrances, harsh surfactants or unnecessary filler ingredients, this workhorse cleanser has been recommended consistently by dermatologists and estheticians for those who need a good, budget friendly cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin. The formula behind this product is incredibly minimalistic, consisting of a few base ingredients, a handle of gentle surfactants and one or two humectants to add balance. But unlike a serum or moisturizer, this pared down formula is actually what makes this product so successful. Most research on cleansers and active ingredients within cleansing products has shown that even when active ingredients are found in these products, they’re not left on the skin long enough to really do their job properly. Because of this, using a simple and straightforward, no frills cleanser like the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser allows you to prep your skin properly, so that all of your favorite serums and essences can penetrate the skin properly.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Multivitamin Booster Review

One of the standouts from the Neutrogena Hydro Boost range has been the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Multivitamin Booster. This multitasking serum was designed to deeply and thoroughly hydrate the skin while also delivering a powerful dosage of nutrients and vitamins. In order to achieve this goal, the formula behind this product features a unique micro-encapsulated beads that pop upon application, releasing the active ingredients. The key ingredient within this formula is purified hyaluronic acid, which has become incredibly well known in the beauty community for its unique ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a powerful humectant. With vitamin E to add key nutrients and antioxidants, this serum also works to protect the skin against environmental aggressors including pollution and free radicals. Both of these factors can negatively impact your skin and even lead to premature aging down the road, so its important to offset these factors with antioxidant rich products like this one.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum Review

As a hydrating serum that can easily be found at the drugstore, the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum proves that you can in fact find efficacious serums on a budget. This serum was designed to add a hydrating and plumping boost to your existing skincare routine, before finishing off with moisturizer. The key ingredient within this formula is purified hyaluronic acid, which has been shown to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid draws water from the air into your skin, relieving dryness and dehydration instantly. It’s also worth noting that this product is completely oil-free, making it an excellent option for those with reactive skin types, or those who are prone to clog pores or fungal acne. Depending on your skin type, environment and climate, you may find that this product offers enough hydration on its own, but for those with dry skin, we recommend using this product in tandem with your favorite moisturizer to seal in all of this hydration and nourishment.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti Aging Perfector Review

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector is a tinted moisturizer plus sunscreen that provides sheer to light coverage and is said to smooth skin’s texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, even after you take it off. It is available in six different shades so that you can choose the one that best matches your skin tone. The active sunscreen ingredients in this moisturizer are octinoxate (7%) and octisalate (3%). Both are synthetic chemical sunscreen ingredients that protect the skin by first absorbing UV light, then transforming that light energy into some other form of energy, such as heat. The combination of these ingredients provides broad spectrum protection, which means the skin is protected from both UVA and UVB rays. One disadvantage of this moisturizer is that it is only rated SPF 20, when SPF 30 or higher is recommended for adequate protection.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector also provides anti-aging benefits due to the presence of retinol and retinyl palmitate (the ester of retinol and palmitic acid). After being absorbed by the skin, retinol is converted to retinoic acid, the active metabolite of vitamin A, which increases the production of collagen and promotes healthy cell turnover. Retinol is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector also contains the lipid-soluble antioxidant vitamin E in order to help combat free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser Review

If you’re starting to feel like you’re just not getting a deep enough or effective enough cleanse, you may want to try a more intense option like the Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser. This product was designed to serve as a gentle, yet increasingly purifying formula to eliminate clogged pores, and remove things like bad bacteria, dirt, excess oil and makeup which negatively contribute to clogged pores and breakouts. At the same time, this formula also works at the surface layer to remove dead skin cells which can make your complexion appear duller, rougher and less radiant. The main active in this formula includes salicylic acid, which is a beta hydroxy acid that mildly but effectively exfoliates the skin. Unlike alpha hydroxy acids, Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, meaning that it can get down deeper into the pores and clear out congestion. Because of this, salicylic acid has been a gold standard acne and congestion fighting ingredient for years, and remains one of the most trusted actives in the industry. In addition to this ingredient, this formula is also completely oil-free and non-comedogenic.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub Review

Exfoliation is one of those steps in your routine that takes a little bit of trial and error to get right. While some people can see real benefit in chemical exfoliation using alpha hydroxy acids to remove dead skin cells, for others, chemical exfoliation can often prove to be a little bit too much and can even aggravate sensitive skin types. If chemical exfoliation isn’t really your cup of tea, but you’d still like to see all of the benefits of regular exfoliating treatments, you may want to check out a physical scrub like the Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub. This product was designed specifically to suit acne prone skin types to help eliminate stubborn types of acne including blackheads, whiteheads and pustules. A small percentage of salicylic acid helps to purify the pores which can harbor bad bacteria, dirt and excess oil which can negatively contribute the formation of different types of acne. Additionally skin soothing microbeads exfoliate the surface layer of the skin to remove dead skin cells which can make the skin appear more texture and congested. Together, these to processes work together to gently exfoliate the skin from multiple points to discourage the formation and appear of multiple types of breakouts to deliver clearer, more radiant skin.

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel Review

Every so often, no matter how well we treat our skin, we still experience that stubborn zit that comes out of nowhere. So what do you do? Well, if you’re looking to get rid of it fast and minimize the likelihood of acne scarring, one of the best things you can do is find a good spot treatment. Products like the Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel have been specifically designed to treat these out of the blue breakouts with a combination of active ingredients that help to eliminate the spot while also taking down the inflammation that is making it appear even larger and more noticable. This particular formula is mainly made up of 10% benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide, along with ingredients like salicylic acid, is considered to be the gold standard for spot treatments and acne-fighting products as a whole. These ingredients work to eliminate bad bacteria that is causing acne at the source, while also dealing with the blemish that has already formed. Benzoyl peroxide takes down the inflammation, decreases the redness and goes to work fast to heal the blemish in half the time. In order to help this product to work even more effectively, we recommend that you try to avoid popping this stubborn spot and apply a generous dot of product directly to the blemish after your evening skincare routine.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser Review

Unlike serums and moisturizers, cleansers don’t really need all of the bells and whistles in order to be effective. The truth is that most active ingredients in cleansers aren’t left on the skin long enough to really reach their full potential. The key to a good cleanser isn’t a laundry list of ingredients, but rather, a core formula of effective yet gentle cleansing agents which remove all of the impurities that have accumulated throughout the day. Products like the Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser hit this concept right on the head. With a gentle, no frills formula, this product works best as a second cleanser after removing makeup to ensure that your skin is properly prepped for the rest of your skincare routine. The bulk of this formula consists of extremely gentle surfactants or foaming agents like lauryl glucoside, decyl glucoside, cocamidopropyl betaine all of which gently cleanse without stripping. This product also has a self-foaming pump that makes application a breeze and cuts down on the likelihood that this formula will strip or dry out your skin after you’ve rinsed away the product.

Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Review

More and more often, we’re seeing that you don’t need to break the bank to find great skincare products. Long Standing drugstore brands like Neutrogena have been increasing the amount of skincare offerings that feature highly potent active ingredients, and the Neutrogena Triple Age Repair is no exception. This anti-wrinkle moisturizer was designed to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone, as well as increase skin firmness. The main active ingredients in this formula include the unique Hexinol Technology as well as a vitamin C ester called ascorbyl glucoside. These two ingredients help to gently rejuvenate the skin while simultaneously brightening and evening out skin tone. It’s also worth noting that this product also features an SPF of 25 which is created by the use of four popular chemical UV filters. Investing in a good sunscreen every day is the most important thing you can do to keep your skin looking youthful by keeping the harmful UV rays at bay. The ascorbyl glucoside in this product does also helps to keep free radical damage at bay as well, which is another large factor in premature aging.
INGREDIENTS

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Oil Review

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing retinol oil that is said to provide visible results in just 1 week. This formula contains retinol SA, an ingredient patented exclusively by Neutrogena. The “SA” in retinol SA stands for “sustained action.” The company claims that retinol SA is distinct from retinol because of its ability to penetrate the skin and continue to work for 12 hours after its application to reduce skin discoloration and fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

After application, retinol penetrates deep into the skin’s surface where it is converted to retinoic acid (the active form of vitamin A). Retinoic acid interacts with the retinoic acid (RAR) and retinoid X (RXR) receptors located in the nucleus of the cell. These nuclear receptors increase the production of procollagen and function to block the release of inflammatory mediators. In addition, retinol is a potent antioxidant that can protect the skin from free radical damage. Ultimately, this means that retinol has the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. In addition to retinol, the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Oil contains emollients like dicaprylyl carbonate and isohexadecane, as well as the skin-soothing agent bisabolol.

Neutrogena Light Therapy Mask

Those looking for a cure for acne may come across light therapy products, like the Neutrogena Light Therapy Mask. Although light therapy for acne has been performed by dermatologists for several decades, at-home devices have only recently gained the attention of consumers. One of the reasons for this is that devices like Neutrogena Light Therapy Mask may not have the same therapeutic effect as expensive equipment at the dermatologist’s office. Further, many acne light therapy procedures at the doctor’s office will often be combined with topical preparation treatments that make therapy more effective. Therefore, consumers who are considering at-home light therapy may wish to first discuss this treatment with a dermatologist and read Neutrogena Light Therapy Mask reviews to see whether others with their type of acne have benefited from this Neutrogena product.

Neutrogena Rapid Dark Circle Repair

Consumers struggling with dark undereye circles may come across a product called Neutrogena Rapid Dark Circle Repair. The developer of this product is the famous skin care company, Neutrogena, which offers a wide range of items like moisturizers, face cleansers, anti aging products, sun blocks, and hair care items, among others. However, the consumer must stay objective when considering a product like Neutrogena Rapid Dark Circle Repair, because dark circles can be caused by a number of issues. For example, such undereye circles can be caused by poor diet, lack of sleep, lack of proper hydration and even genetic factors. In this way, dark circles aren’t just a cosmetic issue but can possibly signal deeper health problems. Therefore, anyone struggling with dark circles is encouraged to speak with their primary health provider about the issue and not simply address basic symptoms with products like Neutrogena Rapid Dark Circle Repair.

Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Review

The Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen was designed to serve as an all over, staple sunscreen for those who typically have a hard time finding a sunscreen that works with their skin. For some, the chemical filters, particularly the ones that have been approved in the U.S., can be quite sensitizing. This can lead users to experience dryness, irritation, redness and clogged pores. Because of this, many of those with sensitive skin turn to physical filters like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. These are the exact same filters that are used in the Neotrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen. Now, because this is a physical sunscreen, you may notice an initial white cast when first applying this product, but in most cases, that will dissipate and disappear into the skin after the first few moments. Its also worth noting that this product features a broad spectrum SPF rating of 60+. According to skincare experts, SPF 50 and above blocks up to 98% of sun rays, so a higher SPF than this, isn’t necessarily better.

Can Neutrogena Face Wash Keep Acne Under Control? If you're considering a Neutrogena Face Wash to help manage your acne, you're probably interested in a cheap solution that can get you quick results. Perhaps your previous acne face wash didn't work all that well, or maybe you're looking for a cheap face wash to buy while you're on a trip, because you don't want to risk having to throw away an expensive item at the airport because of TSA rules. Whatever your situation may be, clearly understanding your reasons and your skin type are vital aspects of determining whether Neutrogena Face Wash is the right choice for you. For example, if you're looking for a facial cleanser to buy while on a short trip, then one of the solutions from Neutrogena can be a great solution. The company's products are usually cheap, and if it either doesn't work for you or you have to throw it away, then no real harm done to your wallet. However, if you need an acne face wash for your daily skin care routine, then a Neutrogena Face Wash may not be the best choice for you, and you may need a much stronger solution.

Neutrogena Face Wash Ingredients

To fully understand the effectiveness of the company's face wash product variations, you need to take a look at their ingredients and read Neutrogena Face Wash reviews. For example, the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash has several products in its line, including; a Daily Scrub, a Cream Cleanser and a medicated face wash.

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Dark Spot Corrector Review

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Dark Spot Corrector is a fast-acting, potent spot treatment for all types of hyperpigmentation including dark spots, age spots, and post-acne marks. This particular dark spot corrector contains three active ingredients which include retinol, vitamin C and salicylic acid. Retinol helps to speed up cell turnover, which helps to reveal new, brightened skin, while vitamin C works to brighten the skin and even out skin tone. Both of these actives are considered to be gold standard ingredients in skincare and can be very beneficial in treating a number of skincare concerns, including hyperpigmentation. Salicylic acid on the other hand, is a beta hydroxy acid that helps to exfoliate the skin. While salicylic acid is mostly known for keeping acne, blackheads and whiteheads at bay, since it is an exfoliant, this ingredient can also be used to create smoother, more even skin tone.

Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System

The Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System The Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System is marketed by Neutrogena, a company that specializes in a variety of skin care products, moisturizers and anti aging treatments. The system is designed for use at home, but is also small enough to be portable for travel. The Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System was originally created with the idea of giving users the experience of a microdermabrasion treatment offered by high-end spas, but without the cost or inconvenience of travel. In advertisements, the manufacturer claims that their applicator will smooth out skin in the same way that professional microdermabrasion treatments do, and that users will see an improvement in the look and feel of their skin after only a few treatments. Users can purchase The Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System either directly from the company or through a number of popular online retailers. However, before making a decision, you should learn more about how this machine works and understand that the successful use of at-home skin care kits depends largely on the experience of the user. There is a learning curve, and not investing the time into learning how to effectively use the system has the potential to cause skin damage, or simply yield lackluster results.

How Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System Works

The Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System was designed with the same basic premise as most Dermabrasion treatments; it uses buffing beads to exfoliate the skin, thereby removing dead skin and making way for new, healthy skin to grow. The kit includes an applicator, a 30-day supply of rejuvenating buffing pads, an attachment head, and 2 AA batteries, which are necessary to run the applicator head.

Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner

Should You Choose Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner? If you're considering buying the Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner, you've likely experienced problem with unbalanced skin and have been trying to get rid of rough skin patches. A toner is an essential part of any skin care routine, because it helps condition your skin by removing excess oils, pulls out dead skin cells and shrinks pores. However, choosing the right toner isn't always easy, because ingredients in a toner can sometimes be very harsh and cause great irritation. With Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner, the reported results have been quite varied. Some consumers report excellent results that gave them tighter, smoother skin. Other Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner reviews point to the product being very irritating, with some even linking this toner to allergic breakouts.

Why the Disparity in Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner Reviews

The truth about toners is that they can be especially tough to match to your skin type, and Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner is no different. The job of a toner is in many ways similar to an exfoliant. For example, the Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser is a facial scrub that helps remove dead skin cells by utilizing micro beads and chemicals like salicylic acid. The Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner is similar in that it aims to remove dead skin cells and break down oil buildup inside the pores.

    I, too, am devastated that Neutrogena has discontinued its wonderful Intensive Moisture Wrap lotion. I have used it for decades. It’s the only lotion that has a lasting effect on the relief of extremely dry skin. I know of no good substitute.

  • christian 12.05.18 Reply

    Neutrogena had the most amazing lotion, “intensive moisture wrap”. It was by far the best of all lotions. It helped those with the driest skin who was suffering. But Neutrogena discontinued the product in July 2018. So now thousands of suffering people are without their lotion. They hid the lotion from all stores and only had it online and in walmart for the last 3 years. Now it is completely gone. I don’t know what to do. I have bad ezcema and without this lotion, i know i will suffer. So will others. But Neutrogena doesn’t seem to care. I wrote 3 reviews on their product (in a fair and respectful manner) and they removed each one of them. Shame on Neutrogena. Any company would kill for loyal customers and a product that is truly the best in the world! I am not exaggerating. But Neutrogena canceled this product…. what a shame. I’m really sad and upset. I wonder how many others will now suffer without this? All because a skin care company, decides to focus on beauty products and not “care’. Nothing against beauty products… but why not do both? Shame on those at Neutrogena who made this decision. I ask, for those with sense at Neutrogena, please bring this back… it will do good for your business and do immense good for all those who suffer with skin problems.

    Used neutrogena (clear,pore face wash and mask)for the first time and my whole face looks like I got major sunburn with pain, hotness and burning on my face. This is the second day after thoroughly washing my face off from the product and my face is still burning and hot. Feels like sunburn to the max.
