New Skincare from Neutrogena

Neutrogena is upping its game, following other brands by putting their active ingredients AND the percentage on their packaging. I know experts always say that “regular people” don’t need to worry about the ingredients and should just look for results, but when there’s so much to choose from how are consumers supposed to decide what to get. Personally, I’ve always liked more information. , and I like the labelling on these.

I also like the lux packaging. The Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel is in a heavy glass bottle that rivals anything you’d see at Sephora. The Stubborn Texture Liquid Exfoliating Treatment (in the red labelled bottle) has a nozzle applicator, just like other brands, and I know that the off-label use is that people have been using them on their scalp and under their armpits. There are also acne patches, and I’ll vouch for the fact that they really are invisible from arm’s length and they actually work. I’ve used each of the acid liquids a couple of times and the final textures are better than others I’ve tried. They go on smooth and don’t leave your skin sticky or tacky. As always, use sunscreen during the day because acids can make your skin more sensitive to light. Thoughts?
