Shopping for skincare is no mean feat. With hundreds of different options, all promising to do slightly different things, finding an edit of products that work for your skin’s individual needs can seemingly require a lot of time-consuming (and costly) trial and error. But actually, it needn’t be that way. In fact, finding the perfect skincare line-up for your individual wants and needs couldn’t be easier, you just have to know how (and where) to shop.

Before you add anything to basket, it’s crucial that you identify your skin concerns. From there, choosing the right products should, in theory, be easy. But the truth is, unless you’re an encyclopaedia of skincare knowledge, it’s not always easy to understand what products are for what. If you ask us, everyone deserves the right to clear, radiant skin. And that is why, here at GLAMOUR, we’re big fans of Neutrogena’s simple, shoppable approach – just identify your overarching skin concern and select the right range for you.

When it comes to addressing particular issues – from oily skin to dryness, blemishes and sensitivity – the clever bunch at Neutrogena understand that it’s best to keep things streamlined. In fact, selecting just one range of products that have been formulated to work in tandem with each other not only helps avoid the risk of using clashing ingredients, it’s also one of the most effective ways to guarantee results.

To save time trying to select the right range for your skin, Neutrogena has done all of the hard work for you. Whatever your concern, here are your skin solutions…

1/5
Skin concern: Dullness and blemishes
The solution: Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear
If you often find yourself looking in the mirror, wishing your complexion looked a little clearer and had a bit more life to it, Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear is the range for you. Formulated with pink grapefruit and vitamin C, the three-step routine works to boost skin radiance and hydrate, without clogging pores.
The routine: Start by using Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear Facial Wash twice a day for an uplifting cleanse that leaves skin looking and feeling fresh, without drying it out. In the evening, follow up with Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear Daily Exfoliator. The zingy scrub contains natural exfoliators to boost glow and unclog pores. Finish up by applying the super-lightweight and oil-free Neutrogena Refreshingly Clear Moisturiser for glow-boosting hydration that doesn’t exacerbate congestion.
2/5
Skin concern: Sensitivity
The solution: Neutrogena Clear & Soothe
Turmeric is one of skincare’s buzziest ingredients this year, thanks to its impressive antioxidant properties. Working to combat everyday stresses that cause skin to react, Neutrogena Clear & Soothe range is perfect for sensitive skin that needs purifying and rebalancing.
The routine: Every great skincare routine should start with a gentle, but effective cleanse. Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Mousse Cleanser helps to remove dirt, oil and makeup while soothing at the same time. If you wear a lot of makeup, apply Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Micellar Jelly Make-up Remover to a cotton pad and massage over your face before you cleanse to melt away stubborn makeup. And always finish your routine with a lightweight moisturiser. Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Moisturiser has a lightweight, water-gel texture that offers immediate soothing hydration. Feel like your skin needs a midday pick-me-up? Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Toning Mist can be spritzed on throughout the day, for a refreshing, glow-boosting soother.
3/5
Skin concern: Congestion and blemishes
The solution: Neutrogena Clear & Defend
Blocked pores can be a recipe for breakouts. If your complexion is prone to congestion and blemishes, salicylic acid, found in Neutrogena Clear & Defend products, will help rid pores of the dirt and oil that often lead to breakouts. Plus, it should help reduce the appearance of pores too!
The routine: Use Neutrogena Clear & Defend Facial Wash morning and evening for a deep, pore-unclogging cleanse. Alternatively, if you find that your skin needs more of a helping hand, Neutrogena Clear & Defend Wash-Mask contains kaolin white clay and can be used as a wash or can be left on for five minutes to work harder against impurities. In the evening, use Neutrogena Clear & Defend Facial Scrub with natural cellulose exfoliators to unclog pores and defend against breakouts. And while applying moisturiser to congested skin might seem counter-intuitive, it’s an imperative step. Neutrogena Clear & Defend Moisturiser is free from oils and contains aloe vera and chamomile, and it nourishes and soothes.
4/5
Skin concern: Blackheads
The solution: Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating
Formed when dirt and oil become trapped in pores, blackheads can prove stubborn. However, the Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating range is formulated with salicylic acid, to reach deep into pores, removing dirt and oil to leave skin looking visibly refined.
The routine: After cleansing in the evening, use Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Facial Scrub to help remove and prevent blackheads. Its natural cellulose exfoliators work deep in the pores to remove trapped dirt and leave pores looking less noticeable. For super-charged results and extra prevention, follow up with Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Cleansing Toner.

5/5
Skin concern: Oiliness
The solution: Neutrogena Oil Balancing
Do you find that your skin looks greasy all day long? Oily skin can not only leave us looking shiny, it also contributes to pores looking more visible. The Neutrogena Oil Balancing range contains lime and aloe vera to rebalance the skin and remove excess oil for tighter-looking pores and a more mattified complexion (without compromising on that all-important glow!)
The routine: Start by gently cleansing skin with the super-refreshing Neutrogena Oil Balancing Facial Wash. It will rid skin of surface-level dirt and leave pores looking refined. To keep oil in check, use Neutrogena Oil Balancing In-Shower Mask twice a week. Apply in the shower and leave for 60 seconds. The formula works with the steam of your shower to offer a deep cleanse and a long-lasting mattifying effect. If you prefer daily exfoliation, Neutrogena Oil Balancing Daily Exfoliator can be used every evening after cleansing.
