What: Christiana tests skin iD, a new product by Neutrogena Dermatologics, is a personalized acne solution system that’s clinically proven to treating and preventing acne.
The Lowdown: I don’t have much of an acne problem (well, at least not since 8th grade, in which acne + frizzy hair combined for a wide range of issues) but I duly filled out the evaluation. A few days later, I received a cream cleanser, an anti-acne treatment, a hydrator, and a spot acne treatment. The first three are to be used twice a day, while the last one is for emergencies. The cleanser went on first, and my face immediately felt cool, tingly and refreshed. Next, were the anti-acne treatment and hydrator. The instructions directed me to wait for the anti-acne treatment to dry before applying the hydrator, and then wait for the hydrator to dry, which was pesky since I wanted to go to sleep at night or get my day started in the mornings.
After each treatment, my face felt relaxed and cool to the touch. A few days into the ritual, my skin felt and looked smoother. One problem though--the cleanser doesn’t remove makeup well, which meant adding another step before everything else. Smooth skin is all well and good, but I don’t want stray eyeliner and mascara running down my cheeks. That ain’t cute.
Yea or Nay: Yea--judging by the changes I noticed on myself, I think the more potent versions of the cleanser would work well on acne problems.

Cool, I’ve been looking for new facial care and I already trust Neutrogena. You should look up “Skintellingance” products too. My friend gave me a face wash for Christmas, it was so gently and cleaned really well.

I love Neutrogena products - I think I have been using them for around 8 years now after ttrying numerous brands beforehand. I tried this particular product recently after seeing it on this site and was very impressed. I would certainly recommend it.

I have suffered with severa acne for years. I’d like to try this personalized acne solution. Everything I have tried before has been manufactured for the mass market and hasn’t really worked. I like the approach of individualizing the product - it seems to me to be a more sensible approach
