In Review: Neutrogena Naturals Line

Neutrogena is doing its part in providing eco-friendly skincare products by expanding its Neutrogena Naturals line. The line is created with naturally plant derived ingredients and contains no harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or phthalates. Neutrogena created only pure, high-quality natural ingredients for balanced beauty from the skin care experts you trust.

These days, more skincare brands are becoming more eco-conscious and Neutrogena is one of my favorites so you can only imagine how thrilled I was to learn that I would be given the opportunity to test drive their natural skincare line. For this review, I will go over the Purifying Pore Scrub, Purifying Facial Cleanser, The Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream, and Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover.

Purifying Pore Scrub: It gently scrubs away impurities and dull, dead skin cells that can build up in pores to improve complexion for fresh, clear skin. It’s not a harsh scrub, which many experts say is the preferred choice for acne-prone skin. I love this scrub because it didn’t feel like it was stripping my skin off and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement on my skin texture. It also leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed.

Purifying Facial Cleanser: This face wash contains natural salicylic acid found in Willowbark bionutrients to penetrate deep into pores to detoxify and help remove dirt, oil and makeup, while rinsing clean without pore-clogging residue. I took a liking to this cleanser after one use. It cleanses and moisturizes my skin, and my skin hasn’t suffered from any acne breakouts. Neutrogena says it’s a recommended choice for acne-prone skin and I certainly agree.

The Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream: For someone like me with oily skin, I was a bit concerned that this cream would be too heavy or break me out; but after using the product for a few days, it’s been a pleasant experience. The moisturizer is light and fast-absorbing. I wake up to smooth, soft skin (no breakouts) and it smells amazing!

Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover: I wear makeup everyday so finding a makeup removing cleanser that is strong enough to remove all traces of makeup with out stripping the skin’s natural moisture is often difficult to come by until now. I was super impressed on how well it was able to remove the majority of makeup with just one wash. It’s very gentle around my eyes and it managed to remove my waterproof mascara too! Overall, I would say this remover is gentle but effective.

Neutrogena Naturals is a great line and I hope they keep this line available for a long time.  I’ve already started replacing my normal skincare routine with them.
