I recently rediscovered this wonderful shower gel while staying in a hotel. I remember using this in high school as my mom would buy it and I loved it. How did I forget about it? I ran out and bought my own bottle. I adore it. I love the exotic fragrance and wish they had a body lotion to layer it with. I live in AZ and my skin gets dry and itchy after a shower but not with this! I love it and is a definite repurchase. I hope to find a good deal on the larger size. I've been using it everyday. I've been pleasantly surprised by Neutrogena, a line I wrote off awhile ago because I had used it as a teen and wanted better products. More expensive doesn't mean better!!! Again. Love it and will repurchase it when I run out. A delight to use in the shower!
Pros: Does not leave skin dry or flaky. Leaves a light pleasant scent.
Cons: They don't make a lotion or body spray to match!
Review on: Scrubs Neutrogena Energizing Sugar Body Scrub
I love the citrus scent of this scrub, but as a scrub it is pretty disappointing. It dissolves pretty quickly so you don't get much of a scrubbing action from it. It is also oily and leaves a film behind on your skin.
Pros: energizibng citrus scent
Cons: dissolves too fast, leaves film on your skin
This was a nice gradual sunless tanner formulated for your face. I was sure to use a very very small amounts and I'd mix it with my moisturizer too, to delute it (guess I was nervous...but it worked for me). Didn't clog my pores and contained an SPF. Gave a nice warmth to my face. Again I'd apply VERY VERY tiny amounts. Of course on exfoliated and moisturized skin. Made sure to blend well down neck and into chest and shoulder area until it blended away. Left a nice warmth, and didn't appear too orangy (I think with most sunless tanners, on the face, little little little is more and sometimes mixing and diluting with a moisturizer helps). Did not irritate my skin.
Wash hands immediately....but no matter what, your fingers will somehow still remain to get the orange look to them....ARGGG!
Pros:
Cons: hands will turn color, even after washing them immediately...sometimes you may get lucky
Review on: Self Tanners Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Mousse
This was one of the self tanners that I could get to work for me. I had the instant bronzer which helped me to see where I applied it. As long as I exfoliated and moisturized first, this would work fine. I used a very light hand....or should I say small amount and blend blend blend. I always applied this lighter around my ankles and knees. I would apply a little and then a few hours later apply more. Then wait til the next day. I also would like to do this before tanning outside, it seemed to help give me an extra boost or jump, since my skin is not so tan.
Review on: Body Treatments Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash
This is a body wash to help treat and prevent body breakouts. The active ingrediant is salicylic acid (2%). It foams up to a nice lather and is gentle enough for every day use. Does not over dry my skin, nor irritate. I switch this off every other day/shower with my perscription BP wash. BP wash is a bit drying and therefore I wanted to give my poor skin a break. I do not think this item alone is strong enough for me. I have noticed a difference when using this though, and I like that it's gentle and never over dries my skin like the BP Wash does. I use this only on my shoulders, chest and back areas. Nice drugstore item.
My skin: NW25/sensitive/hyper-oily/acne prone w/ pink undertones.
Review on: Self Tanners Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Mousse
Instantly gives you a natural bronzed tan look, not orangey or streaky. The colored foam makes it easy to apply leaving a streak free sunless tan. Rubs in easily. Tan develops in a only a couple of hours. Lasts for days. Doesn't smell bad. Didn't dry very fast for me but we have high humity which might be the problem.
Review on: Self Tanners Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Spray
A great drug store sunless tanner. Affordable!
The can makes it soo easy to apply in hard to reach places. Doesn't irritate my skin. Smells good and dries very quickly. My tan looks more natural than some others that I've tried but it still has a little bit of an orange tint. However, this stuff is so easy to use and cheap and dries fast, that I don't really mind. The tan lasts about a week. You can apply everday until your desired color is acheived.
Highly recommend if you're looking for a good quality yet affordable sunless tanner.
Review on: Body Cleansers Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash
It does keep acne on the body at bay! And I love that it's thick so a little went a long way! I would give this a try just make sure to moisturize after!
Pros: Did great for acne and a little went a long way and smells great!
Cons: It can be overdrying!
first off, the smell is really really bad and it doesnt leave for like days. it stains your hand and no matter how much scrubing with a pumice stone you do they're still stained. and it makes you look an orange tint insted of a natural look. i like how its a foam and that you can see where you put it on but thtat;s about it.
Pros: easy to tell where you missed spots
Cons: everything else
Review on: Body Moisturizers Neutrogena body oil (original)
this product helps moisturize the skin, and is used while your skin is damp. it was working to moisturize my skin, but i broke out with bumps on legs so i could no longer use it.
I tried this because it is suppose to let you control how dark you want to get by applying it every time to gradually tan. The smell is great amd the color you get is nice but darker than then the proclaimed"hint of color". No matter how well you blend it streaks and leaves some orange in your skin.
Review on: Self Tanners Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Mousse
I've used many self-tanners. This one gives you the best bang for your buck. The product absorbed quickly. Shake the bottle, place mousse on your hands and work quickly. Did not leave a sticky feel; no strange smells like most self-tanners. I used the Extra Deep and my skin appeared really tanned and bronzed. Did not appear orangey at all. I've used Clarins, Estee Lauder and other high-end products. This I believe equals the other products if not better.
Pros: Absorbs quickly. Leaves you really tanned. No strange scent.
Cons:
Review on: Self Tanners Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Spray
Awesome!!! Great product. I loved the gradual tanning lotion, but this is even better. No orange hands, and this gives you a great tan. But be sure to spray 6 inches away. If you get too close you'll know it.
I highly recommend. Now I can buy a strappy swimsuit and not worry about tan lines...I'll just spray them away!!!
Pros: no orange hands, easy to use,
Cons: sprays on clear, so you can see where you sprayed, but you'll have a sheen
Review on: Self Tanners Neutrogena Sunless Tanning Mousse
The mousse is really easy to work with, and it shows up immediately on your skin so you know where you've applied and where you haven't. Color develops over a few hours.
Pros: Cheap
Color shows when you put it on
Fast drying
Cons: Have to work fast (because it dries quickly)
Review on: Hand Treatments Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
this would be a lifesaver if you have extremely dry, ouchy hands from harsh weather, doing dishes, etc. the texture is extremely thick and greasy, and a tiny bit goes a long way. i cant say i particularly enjoy the feel, but it does work very well. it doesnt rank on my list of favorites for when my hands need serious moisture, and i wouldnt repurchase it. im left wondering if norwegian fishermen really do slather this on like the commercials claim.
Review on: Body Cleansers Neutrogena Rainbath Shower Gel
i can see this being a total HG product, because my mother has used it as long as i can remember. the scent is nice, but i dont see any reason to purchase this unless youre in love with the scent. it performs just like any other shower gel.
Review on: Body Cleansers Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash
i should know by now to steer away from anything that allure magazine declares to be wonderful. (hello maybelline great lash mascara!) i bought this for my bf, to clear up his bacne. upon using the last squirt, he stepped out of the shower looking like a cross between mandy moore and jennifer love hewitt. (i like to call her J Lo Hew.) just kidding. he finished the bottle and we havent seen any improvement at all, so ill have to give it a one for not living up to its specific intention. it has a nice enough scent and cleanses well. its not drying, and it doesnt leave a film. the salicylic acid concentration just isnt hight enough to deliver the results promised.
