Neutrogena Fine Fairness Range

Cleanse, tone, and moisturize - that's what skincare experts tell us to do when we want to have great skin. While I myself have a hard time being consistent to my skincare regimen, my sister begs to differ. She treats skincare like a religion, which is good because now she has healthy skin. This skincare review is based on her 4 month trial of the Neutrogena Fine Fairness Range.

Skin Background: Oily/Combination Skin
Her skin had post-breakout marks (from teenage acne). The dermatologist we consulted during our high school years did not teach us how to maintain clear skin. She just gave us her unbranded white plastic bottles of Glycolic Acid facial wash and Clindamycin solution. She told us to get it from her everytime we ran out of those, as if it were the only solution to our pimples. Her medication helped us a bit till our skin reached a plateau and her products were not effective anymore, so we decided to seek skincare products that are readily available in the market. Little did we know that there are a lot more inexpensive solutions to our pimples. It just comes down to choosing the right product for your skin type and using it day and night, and that cleansing, toning, and moisturizing is the key to great skin. Something our dermatologist never taught us.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Range

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cleanser

• Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cleanser is a purifying cleanser with Vitamin C and Essential Soy extract that is clinically proven to help improve overall fairness and translucence. Its gentle cleansing formula clears dirt, surface oil, and skin-dulling dead skin cells while maintaining the skin's natural moisture level.
• Dermatologist tested. Oil-free. Does not clog pores. Allergy tested.
• Usage: AM & PM

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cleanser 100g (P299.75)

The cleanser is mild and non-drying. It does not leave the skin feeling squeaky clean and uncomfortably tight. This is a good cleanser - it smells nice and it makes the skin look brighter after use.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Toner

• Neutrogena Fine Fairness Toner is a whitening toner that softens and hydrates the skin to help improve overall fairness and translucence. Contains Vitamin C and Essential Soy, with liposome delivery system, to enhance overall radiance and replenish moisture for soft, smooth skin.
• Dermatologist tested. Alcohol-free. Oil-free. Non-comedogenic. Allergy tested.Usage: AM & PM (after cleansing)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Toner 200ml (P459.75)

Out of the entire range, this toner is my sister's favorite. It does its job of removing excess dirt. After applying this, the skin instantly becomes softer and smoother.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Lotion SPF 30 PA++

• A daily moisturizing whitening lotion that helps protect skin against the appearance of melanin and uneven pigmentation for a healthy, fair and translucent glow.
• Helps whiten skin from within: Neutrogena HealthyWhite Complex helps boost the whitening process and helps reduce the appearance of melanin and uneven pigmentation.
• Helps protect skin from photo damage: UVA/UVB formula with SPF 30 helps shield skin from darkening and photo damage.
• Dermatologist tested. Oil-free. Non-comedogenic.
• Usage: AM (after toning; before sun exposure)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Lotion SPF 30 PA++ 40ml (P719.75)

We're not fans of this lotion but it does moisturize the skin and it has SPF. However, this makes the skin look shiny and oily, and it leaves a slight white cast when applied. If you want to try this, make sure to only use a small amount.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening UV Moisture SPF 50 PA+++ with Helioplex

• Advanced daily sun protection lotion with Helioplex that gives superior protection against UVA/UVB rays. It helps to prevent appearance of brown spots and skin darkening due to sun exposure, as well as new dark melanin from forming. Protective multi-vitamin complex with antioxidants, including Vitamins A, C and E, and green tea extract helps prevent environmental damage that may accelerate the signs of aging. In a lightweight moisturizing texture that is oil-free and non-sticky, it provides you with needed hydration and protection for maintaining fair, even-toned skin.
• Dermatologist tested. PABA-free. Oil-free. Non-comedogenic.
• Usage: AM (after moisturizing or as moisturizer; as makeup base; before sun exposure)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening UV Moisture SPF 50 PA+++ 30ml (P660.00)

This sunblock has a matte finish, very ideal for oily skin. This is actually my favorite product in the entire range. I used this on my face last time I went to the beach, and did not get sunburned at all! It's moisturizing enough, and is also a great makeup base. It's a perfect product for people on-the-go. My sister and I prefer this over the Fine Fairness Lotion.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum

• Double your skin's whitening power for even-toned lasting translucent fairness.
• This breakthrough high penetrating formula penetrates beneath the skin surface and deactivates melanin production at the source for a renewed visibly brightened skin tone. Powered by upgraded Neutrogena HealthyWhite Complex with pure Retinol and Lily, stubborn dark spots are visibly lightened for a lasting even-toned translucent fairness from within. Clinically proven to show visible results in just 3 weeks.
• Dermatologist tested. Non-comedogenic. Oil-free.
• Usage: PM (after toning, before moisturizing)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum 30ml (P999.00)

At first, my sister used this serum day and night and that left her skin feeling a bit dry. Since this serum has retinol, which can make skin more sensitive to the sun, then it's better to just use this at night. After 4 months of usage (in the evening), my sister is not really sure what this gel-cream like serum does for her skin (maybe its because she does not have dark spots to begin with), but she liked how her skin felt after patting on this serum.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream

• Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream is a daily whitening cream that helps protect skin against the appearance of melanin to give you an even, translucent skin tone and long lasting moisturization for healthy, fair skin with a rosy glow. Whitening complex with exclusive Essential Soy works within the skin's surface to boost the whitening process, while helping to reduce the appearance of melanin and pigmentation and helping to protect new skin cells from melanin.
• Dermatologist tested. Oil-free. Non-comedogenic.
• Usage: PM (after toning; after serum)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream 50g (P774.75)

Wake up to rosier, more radiant skin with this moisturizer! This product moisturizes without the greasy feel.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Deep Whitening Mask

• Continuous whitening all night for lasting translucent fairness.
• All new improved Neutrogena Fine Fairness Deep Whitening Mask immediately brightens skin tone and whitening essence is designed to continuously lighten melanin beneath skin layers all night to give you lasting translucent fairness.
• Featuring new 3D Push-In fabric that not only contains more upgraded HealthyWhite Complex, but also has a unique 3D stretchable design that fits closely to face to push more essence deep beneath skin layers, providing 3 times more essence for absorption. Even after mask is removed, a reservoir of essence works like an invisible mask beneath the skin layers through the night.
• Dermatologist safety-tested. Non-comedogenic.
• Usage: PM (after cleansing, once a week)

Neutrogena Fine Fairness Deep Whitening Mask 30g x 5 sheets (P990.00)

This hydrating mask hugs the contours of your face snugly. It leaves skin bright and glowing after use. The downside of this mask is that it is pricey and that the effects are temporary. After 3 days, the skin does not look as glowing as it was, but this goes for all face masks.
