Neutrogena Skin-clearing Blemish Concealer Review

Neutrogena Skin-clearing Blemish Concealer

Hello my favourite people,

As you all know the famous brand Neutrogena has not yet come up with their make-up products in India but I got a brilliant chance to shop for their stuff and took most of the stuff from this brand that I could. I have always faced blemishes and acne scar problem and this actually claims to solve up that problem plus provide coverage so thought of trying it. Let’s see how this unique concealer worked for me.

Price: $9.99

Product description by Neutrogena:

Don’t just cover up. Clear up!
• Powered by MicroClear® technology
• Blemish treatment with Salicylic Acid
• Conceals and treats blemishes
• Natural-looking coverage
Dermatologist Developed

Directions for use:

Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication.
Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to every other day.

Application Tips:

Before first use, turn dial at bottom of pen slowly until concealer dispenses (may require several turns). After first use, turn dial one click per application. Use sponge tip to gently apply and blend concealer. Avoid eye area.

My experience with Neutrogena Skin-clearing Blemish Concealer:

I got the concealer in shade light. It is a pen type concealer which comes in a transparent pen so that you can make out how much quantity is left. It has a sponge tip which for the first time is very difficult to use because the bottom has to be rotated for a lot of times and later on it is easy to use. The quantity according to me is very less because it is supposed to be 2-3 times a day and if used that much then it will get over in a month or so while the other concealers I have last for more than 4 months. The sponge applicator is very easy to use since you don’t have to use your fingers.  I used it for 5 days continuously and saw a slight reduction in my pimples size because it contains salicylic acid. The shade was a bit light for my skin tone and it appeared like a white patch on my face so a shade darker would have been perfect. It does not cover blemishes that good but yes it will definitely cover up minor blemishes and then I top it up with a translucent powder of my skin tone and it looks perfect. The consistency of the concealer is niether  that thick nor watery but it blends pretty easily. But blending with this concealer does not give a good coverage so I have to just dab it on the blemishes instead of blending. It provides light to medium coverage and people with extreme blemishes on their face will not at all like this one. It lasts for a good amount of 3-4 hours if topped up with translucent powder or else for 2 hours and then the blemishes start appearing. The problem with this is that it will only work for reducing the blemishes only if you use it continuously and I don’t normally use a concealer everyday.

Pros of Neutrogena Skin-clearing Blemish Concealer:

-A unique formula which helps to reduce acne plus provides a concealing effect
-Comes in a pen form so very easy to use and carry too
-Has a sponge tip applicator which is better than using fingers
-It helps conceal minor acne scars and reduces the pimple size too after everyday use
-Lasts upto 3-4 hours if topped up with a translucent powder
-This is a very good option to go with, for people who suffer from acne issues.

Cons of Neutrogena Skin-clearing Blemish Concealer:

-Not available in India
-Skin clearing claim will not come true if the concealer is not used every day and I don’t normally use a concealer every day
-The price is pretty high for the little quantity that they provide.
-Cannot be used for eye area and will not provide a very good coverage for pimples and blemishes as well.

Will I repurchase/recommend Neutrogena skin clearing blemish concealer?

I will not get it because the quantity is pretty less and secondly it is  not available here also. I will not recommend it to you people because we have used better concealers than this one which provide a higher coverage and give a flawless look too.
