Then, when I became a beauty editor, most derms I interviewed for stories wouldrecommend a Neutrogena product.
But even off-the-record chats with dermatologist friends involved mention of the drugstore giant as one of thebest skincare brands.

So what, exactly, makes dermatologists go gaga for Neutrogena products?
We decided to find out.
“Natone was a supplier to beauty salons usually associated with the glamour of the film industry.
Then in the 1940s, Natone began manufacturing and distributing cosmetics for the retail market.”
So what sets the brand apart?
“Neutrogena is different because of our superior science and commitment to improving skin health,” Sullivan continues.
“Neutrogena products generally provide a great balance between quality results and a luxury experience."(Ed.
We call that a game-changer.
Hydro Boost Eye Gel-Cream
Are Neutrogena’s skincare products better than luxury-brand products?
“Not alwaysbetter; oftenequal,” Nazarian says.
“Sometimes they work just as [well] but are more affordable.”
Take this eye cream, a spin-off of best-selling Hydro Boost Water Gel.
That includes this budget-friendly eye makeup remover, a drugstore mainstay.
Bonus: Fans swear it’s a dupe for the much pricier Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover.
Andno oneis going to be liberal enough with their sunscreen app if they spent too much on it.”
Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil
“Neutrogenaretinol productsprovide proven efficacy,” Zeichner says.
“I am a fan of Neutrogena products because they give high-quality, luxury products at affordable prices.
I jokingly refer to the brand as being ‘mastige:’ prestige-quality skincare for the masses.”
One of Neutrogena’s swankiest retinol products is this oil-serum with 0.3 percent retinol.
The lightweight oil has an indulgent feel that most drugstore skincare products just don’t have.
Pore Refining Toner
Have oily or dull skin?
This inexpensive acid toner may be just the ticket to achieving a clear, luminous, even-toned complexion.
It also contains witch hazel meant to tighten pores and control excess oil.
Do you wash your face before bed?Hell, no.
These moments are why Neutrogena’s makeup remover wipes were invented, and they do the job swimmingly.
