How to smoothen spot-prone skin with Neutrogena

Home » How to smoothen spot-prone skin with Neutrogena

Read time: xxx
Posted: 11/04/2024

What do Jennifer Garner, Vanessa Hudgens and Kristen Bell all have in common? They have spot-free skin. Anything else? They’ve all been the face of Neutrogena. A coincidence? We think not. (Okay, enough with the rhetorical questions). Which is why we’re a massive fan of Neutrogena’s Clear & Defend collection that helps smooth out spot-prone skin to make us feel like the stars we really are.

Saviours for spot-prone skin

Neutrogena has always been there for our skin worries. Backed by science, they use tried and tested methods to soften and smooth blemishes and imperfections. Their Clear & Defend+ range works to get healthier-looking skin in just 1 week.* That’s less time than it takes to binge watch all of Love is Blind (just saying). Here are some of our top picks.

*Serum: self-assessment, 67 participants. Application once a day for one week, then twice a day.

Neutrogena Clear & Defend+ Facial Wash

You know you’re onto a winner when a brand says “developed with dermatologists”. And those dermas have really put their brain power into this oil-free facial wash. It’s packed full of ingredients to revive a lacklustre look into a more even, radiant tone. There’s glycolic acid, a micro exfoliator that helps to fade coloured marks left after acne, and gluconolactone, which helps to refine skin texture. And there’s salicylic acid too, to help prevent future breakouts. This leaves rough skin feeling soft and smooth. Just like Vanessa’s.

Top tip: Massage into your face and rinse with water, starting with one application daily, then increase to two if desired. 

Neutrogena Clear & Defend+ Daily Serum

Those dermatologists have been really busy. They’ve worked on this fragrance and oil-free serum too, which is also filled with glycolic acid and gluconolactone to help fade marks, clear pores and smooth skin. But it has another secret ingredient: mandelic acid. What’s that? Well, it’s a peeling agent that taps into the skin’s natural renewal process to help improve the radiance of spot-prone skin. This combined action is so effective that 90% of people who used the serum said they had less new breakouts after 4 weeks.*

Top tip: Apply to clear skin and let the ingredients work their magic. 

*Clinical grading, 67 subjects, application once a day for one week, then twice a day

Zone in on oily complextions

Finding products for oily skin can be tricky. You don’t want products that strip all your naturally-occurring oils. After all, they’re there to help protect your skin, moisturise it, and even help reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles. That’s where Neutrogena’s Clear & Defend Salicylic Acid face wash and moisturiser come to the rescue. Developed with dermatologists, they work wonders to help smooth spot-prone and oily skin.

Neutrogena Clear & Defend 2% Salicylic Acid face Wash

This oil-free face wash is clinically proven to work. In fact, rave reviews showed that 97% of people who used it noticed less new spots in just 4 weeks.* That’s a lot of people with a smoother, clearer complexion. The key to its success is partly down to that purifying salicylic acid we’ve been banging on about that helps prevent breakouts. As well as that, it cleanses all those clogged pores, while leaving the skin’s natural balance in peace.

Top tip: To get the best results, use morning and night. 

*Clinical grading, 34 subjects

Neutrogena Clear & Defend 0.5% Salicylic Acid Oil-Free Moisturiser

Anyone with oily skin will know that the last thing you feel like doing is moisturising. But oily skin needs moisturiser just as much as the next skin type. It helps to strengthen and protect the skin barrier. Lucky for us, this oil-free moisturiser instantly hydrates while respecting the skin’s natural balance, helping to prevent spots and fade spot marks. Armed with aloe vera, chamomile and purifying salicylic acid (we honestly can’t get enough of this), it hydrates, smooths and helps clears your complexion. Try it out and be one of the 90% who noticed softer skin in just 8 weeks.*

Top tip: Apply in the morning and evening on freshly cleansed skin.

*Clinical study, self-assessment, 31 subjects

Start your journey to smoother skin.
