Neutrogena Skin iD – Anyone Tried It?
Neutrogena, which has some products that have been really great for those with acne prone skin for years now, apparently is now offering a personalized skin care system, mostly targeted for those with problem skin, to help treat and quell the symptoms. Neutrogena has one of my favorite classics, the amber clear glycerin soap bar used for facial cleansing. This product has been around for ions, and it goes as far back to when I was a teenager with acne and trying to get it treated by visiting dermatologists.
The dermatologists always recommended one of three different types of facial cleansing bars. This was before liquid cleansers and cream cleansers were all the rage, when bars were still popular to wash the face. They would recommend either the Neutrogena amber bar soap, the Purpose bar soap, or the Cetaphil cleanser, which I never understood.
With Skin iD, you can go online and complete a questionnaire about your skin that takes roughly 5 minutes to complete. Neutrogena gathers information about your skin, your lifestyle and your problem with acne, and then formulates a custom skin care regimen out of their acne skin care products, specifically targeted to your skin and your personal situation so that it can be effective for what you need.
The Skin iD products appear to range from cleansers to treatment creams, to astringents and other skin soothing products. Perhaps they are built with the three skin types in mind as well, but I can’t really tell, but those three skin types are oily, dry, and combination. I think a good part of the people who suffer from acne have combination skin, and another good chunk probably have oily skin.
It is important to get the right combination of products for your skin type, so I think this is a great idea. Has anyone tried any of the Skin iD products yet, or had a skin evaluation with Neutrogena?

I tried it and it failed. The face wash felt slimy and I didn’t feel clean afterwards. The benzoyl treatment turned ashy and white on the affected area. I used the routine step by step for 3 months and i saw no improvements

The product didnt work for my daughter… that doesnt mean it’s a bad product. The problem I had was getting a hold of customer service to cancel it. I kept trying several times and would get busy signals which a customer service rep there named Kirbi said no one had complained about that but me. She cancelled the subscription and would not give me credit for a shipment I just received even after I offered to ship back…. she basically said I could but it was a waste of my time. She was trying to get me upset so she could hang up on me. She wouldnt let you finish a sentence… very rude! I will never buy a product from that company again. Don’t auto pay for any product with this company… you wont be able to reach them to cancel and they will call you a liar… try to get you irate so they can hang up on you and they will not credit you.
