Moisturizers are one of the most essential steps in a beauty regimen, but not all moisturizers are good for your skin – even some from the most trusted brands. Neutrogena is one of the best brands in terms of skincare products that repair and nourish the skin, but there is one moisturizer from them you should kick out of your beauty cupboard. It’s called the Oil-Free Anti-Acne Moisturizer.
A reviewer told Total Beauty that, “I tried this acne moisturizer and it just ended up leaving these dry patches on my cheeks. I have sensitive combination skin and while it helped my acne it made my cheeks which are not oily super dry.
The Neutrogena Oil-Free Anti-Acne Moisturizer should only be used by people who really need it to calm their skin. Everyone else should avoid it because its oil-free formula deprives dry skin of the deep hydration it really needs. If you don’t keep your skin properly hydrated, you put it at risk of developing wrinkles and dark spots.
What To Use Instead
Instead of Neutrogena’s oil-free moisturizer, try the brand’s ultra hydrating Hydro Boost Gel Cream. It’s made with hyaluronic acid to restore moisture to the skin, repair the skin barrier and keep your complexion smooth and soft all day.
