Question 1

i have been using the acne medication, neutrogena oil-free acne wash for maybe 3 or stop using the acne wash?

Accepted Answer

Can you clarify?: This is very weak stuff and if you're still having acne, move to something stronger. Salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and/or retinoic acid are your best friends. If they don't clear you in a few weeks, or if you have severe acne or it's on your trunk, your physician can add something stronger that will work. Best wishes.

Question 2

can i use retin  a in the night and neutrogena anti-wrinkle daily moisturizer with spf 20 that contains retinol in the day?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, you certainly can.
Important that you apply a quality moisturizer in the morning after the Neutrogena preparation

Question 3

is it okay to use neutrogena anti-wrinkle moisturizer with retinol and hyaluronic acid in the morning and deriva c gel at night?

Accepted Answer

: Not a problem.  These will not compete with each other.  Hopefully they will get for you the effect that you are looking for.

Question 4

is it ok to use neutrogena pore refining exfoliating cleanser and then wait a while and apply retin-a micro at night ? its an alpha/beta hydroxy wash

Accepted Answer

Try it: It may be a bit much and excessively drying to use that combination.  If you tolerate it and it does not dry your skin out too much, go for it as we love tretinoin as an acne medication and "wrinkle cream".

Question 5

26 (f), i wash my face every morning (cerave oil free) and every night (vanicream oil free cleanser) and use moisturizer (hydro-mask neutrogena or vanicream 35spf) but i still have oily skin by 3pm. it irritates my eyes, what am i doing wrong????

Accepted Answer

: I don't know what the problem is, but in such matters I feel a skilled cosmetologist  or cosmetician would be best to consult. He/she will evaluate your complexion status and advise you on how to best manage it and what the best products are to use.

Question 6

is it safe to use retin a and neutrogena anti-wrinkle night moisturizer containing retinol sa and hyaluronic acid together?

I would not recommend using both as they contain the same active ingredient - you would be double dosing and at increased risk for adverse effects, especially in sunny climate. F/u/w/ dermatology

Question 7

i have neutrogena rapid clear pads for my face. one side has little circles on them and the other side is smooth. which side do i use first?

Accepted Answer

Salicylic Acid 2%: Per Neutrogena product description: the side of the pad that is textured is what you would use to cut through oil and waxy plugs. But be careful, in addition to a proprietary cleanser, these pads contain 2% salicylic acid acne treatment  that may be harsh on your skin. Use as directed on the packaging and follow-up with your PCP or Dermatologist if you have additional questions or concerns.

Question 8

is neutrogena fine fairness is a good product for skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Neutrogena is an excellent brand of skincare that i can trust as a dermatologist. There are several brands out there. Whether it is a good product for your skin and skin type is indeterminate. If you are looking for a more comprehensive and customized skincare routine, see an esthetician who works under the influence of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Question 9

i am suddenly allergic to sunscreen, neutrogena brand.. what brand should i try?

Accepted Answer

Physical blocks: Depending on which neutrogena sunscreen you reacted to, the most common sun screen allergen is oxybenzone and its derivatives.  You can switch to a sunscreen that contain only physical blocks such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Remember to reapply every 2 hours while in the sun.

Question 10

is neutrogena t/sal shampoo ok to be used every day?

Accepted Answer

: I have not seen research that it is bad it good. But everyone is different so best to test it in yourself.  Start with low amount and then work up to normal. If no problems then likely OK.
