neutrogena skin clearing

Neutrogena’s skin‑clearing range is primarily aimed at acne‑prone and oily skin, but it also includes formulations suitable for normal, combination, sensitive, dry, mature, and very dry skin.

Many formulas are oil‑free and non‑comedogenic, and they include oil‑dissolving complexes or ingredients that remove surface oil to help keep pores clear and control shine.

The range uses both physical exfoliants (exfoliating beads and scrubs) and clay absorbers such as kaolin and bentonite, alongside chemical acne treatments like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to help clear and prevent clogged pores.

Several products are labeled dermatologist‑tested or dermatologist‑developed, and the eye makeup remover is noted as ophthalmologist‑tested, indicating clinical testing is referenced on product labeling.

The line uses two primary acne actives: salicylic acid (commonly 2% in cleansers, toners, and washes) and benzoyl peroxide (about 3.5% in the 2‑in‑1 cleanser/mask). Product descriptions also list supporting extracts and hydrators such as green tea, cucumber, witch hazel, aloe, chamomile, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid.

The selection includes hydrating micellar wipes formulated with hyaluronic acid for gentle makeup removal and an oil‑free dual‑phase eye makeup remover (with aloe and cucumber) for sensitive eyes, providing cleansing and hydration alongside the acne‑fighting cleansers and washes.
