Neutrogena Face Moisturizer
DESCRIPTION
It starts every winter: the itchy, tight feeling. The sandpaper-y texture. Flakes of skin pilling from your face like a sweater that’s seen too many seasons. Despite your best efforts (humidifiers, masks, more water, less wine), maintaining a supple complexion during sub-zero temperatures is always a challenge. But the solution is surprisingly simple, according to a dermatologist we interviewed: Take shorter showers, switch off your heater as much as possible, and apply a thick, heavy moisturizer often. After much trial and error, here are 14 soothing options that truly work.
The gel-cream consistency spreads evenly but feels more like a liquid once applied. Ideal for oily complexions, it absorbs almost instantly so that your skin feels softer, nourished, and not at all greasy. It is also one of the least-expensive moisturizers on this list.
PROS & CONS
REVIEWS (11)
I chose this because it was recommended by dermatologists online, and because I have always appreciated the quality of the company’s products. But I’m not sure what went wrong here. It could have been an allergic reaction, I’m not sure. But I only had it applied to half of my face before it started burning and stinging like crazy. It felt like a chemical burn. It was only after several washes and rinses that my skin became to calm down.
I’m giving it a 3 star because it could have just been my fair, sensitive skin. Amazon was great with the immediate refund. I just won’t be trying this again.
WHY do they 'improve' a great product? Do you know how many times a product I have been using is changed - and they say it is 'improved'?
I used the old formula of this for years and loved it. I have Rosacea, so I can't wear a lot of lotions and suncreens but could wear this lotion. Not anymore . . .
The new formula burns my face and if I wear it anywhere around the eyes, they sting (not so on the older product). It's not a rich as the previous version either.
The scent is fine - but I prefer no scent at all. Doesn't really matter - because I can NOT wear this lotion. Now I have to try and find something similar to the old product - not fun.
Our lightweight, water-based formula is gentle, yet effective, for even sensitive skin and won’t leave your face feeling greasy or looking shiny. Extra gentle, and oil-free, it’s dermatologist-tested. Plus it contains no drying alcohol, so it won’t dry out your skin.
