The name says it all5
I have been using Neutrogena skincare for a couple of years now, and I've used the SPF 45, 55, and 70 sunblock, in addition to this one, on my face. I'm using exfoliating lotions, and have dark, sensitive skin that scars easily, so sunscreen is a must for me. This sunblock goes on much more sheer than the SPF 70 product from this line. It doesn't leave a pasty cast on my skin, and it doesn't sting or burn, even when it is close to my eye area. I highly recommend this item for those who need a high SPF.

good stuff for more serious protection5
I've tried the spf 45, 60, 75, and 85 versions of this stuff and have settled on using this (spf 85). It is a bit more noticeable on the skin, but also protects better than the others when in direct sun all day. I definitely recommend trying it out.

Neutrogena sunblock review5
This sunblock was recommended by our pediatrician after our 2-year old daughter came home sunburned from preschool. The baby sunblock was not effective! Her sunburn symptoms lasted for several days and she was very uncomfortable. We hated seeing her like that! Immediately, I purchased this product & it applies very well (non-greasy) and does not irritate her skin. Her skin-type is "very sensitive." Low and behold, my 3-year old son came home with a sunburn a few weeks later and I also switched his sunblock to this product while at preschool. They have both done excellent with it and are now eager to put on their sunblock so they can go outside. Also, we do use hats now when they are out in the sun! And I keep extra tubes in the car, diaper bag, and in my purse...

Feel and smell good all day long...5
This is absolutely the best body lotion especially when paired up with the Neutrogena Body Lotion, Light Sesame Formula. You certainly can't beat the deal on the 40 oz lotion that I found here on Amazon. After bathing I PAT dry and then use the oil, followed by the lotion. Yep, use both if you have really dry skin. There is no oily feeling whatsoever, as both soak right in and the smell is incredible - clean, fresh without being too girly, and a wonderful basis for any perfume I have. In fact, I have had people ask me what I have on with just the oil and lotion. I have been using this combo for years and years and my hubby now uses both products as well

Best Lotion for people with dry skin5
My husband and I have extremely dry skin. This lotion has a very mild scent , which is nice for someone who has problems with allergies. The lotion has just the right degree of moisturizing. It goes on very smooth and really helps with the itching that we have during the winter months.

Luxurious Lotion5
This was so hard to find when I was looking for it initially. I first used this at a luxury hotel and I felt like a king like wow this is so good! I ordered a box of these I think I have 8 bottles. I highly reccomend this and the Skin Milk lotions. This one is much smoother than Skin Milk though because of the sesame oil mixture.

Just a few minutes every day and Algemarin will put back all that life takes out of you.


Customer Reviews

Glorious fragrance!5
I've used Algemarin bath products for a long time, and they are getting more difficult to find. My grandkids love taking bubble baths in the "blue water" Algemarin creates, and I love the scent. It works in the shower as well...I use it as a liquid shower soap, and I even shampoo with it. Great Stuff!

Algemarin Shampoo "Dry-Powder Spray" (6.7 oz)

Product Description

An easy-to-use formula that is perfect for frequent use to clean hair without water. Ideal for people in a hurry, or anyone who cannot shower but still desires a thorough hair cleaning. So how does it work? When sprayed directly onto hair, Algemarin penetrates the hair absorbing dirt and hair products. When brushed out, Algemarin takes all these impurities with it, and you are left with soft, clean hair. All without even having to hop in the shower! This product is an Algemarin fan-favorite.


Customer Reviews

Great product!5
I love this product! It reminds me of Pssssst! and though the smell is different, I think it's very nice. It makes your hair feel very soft and nice and doesn't make it too white (although with any spray item, at times it has a mind of its own and deposits more powder than spray). One of the reasons I really like this product is that it is a "refresher" as well. I cannot wash my "down to my boobs" hair every day, or I will have to cut it off. Plus, I have OILY hair. So I REALLY need help here. I have been very pleased with the results of the Algemarin. i have to say that my favorite is still the old Pssssst! with scent, but they do not make it any more so that settles that!

As I wrote in my other review of another dry shampoo, there is a technique to using dry shampoo and if you are anything but grey haired or blonde, there is a procedure you must follow. First, never spray it on hair that will be the outer hairs of your "do" meaning don't spray it where you plan to part your hair. Spray it just underneath it. Second after spraying, take a towel and towel rub it through your hair. Then take a soft BRISTLE brush and brush your hair till all the white is gone and it looks more normal. Wipe off any remaining "white" residue with a slightly damp washcloth or soft paper towel. Style as usual!

Best by far5
I've tried three dry shampoos so far: Pssst!, Klorane, Algemarin, and Bumble & Bumble (updated). This one if by FAR the best one out of those four. It has a nice smell, doesn't dry out my hair, and a little goes a long way. Since I tried the colored B&B dry shampoo, you should know that it made my fingertips brown every time I'd touch my hair. That...and it dried the tar out of my hair.

If you're looking for an EXCELLENT dry shampoo, try this one first and save yourself some time. I'm going to be stocking up, personally.

I love this product5
I get very excited when a product actually delivers on it's promise. I've tried other similar products, the Bumble&Bumble powder is very expensive and messy, plus it wipes out your shine and weighs down the hair. The Klorane is good, (not the extra gentle one - the regular one), it has the faintest scent but it's not nearly as effective as the Algemarin. The Algemarin smells strongly perfumey at first, but the scent almost disappears and leaves your hair clean, mine actually looks like I shampooed it, and that was what I was going for. I'm not able to cut my blowdrying and flat-ironing in half and will be saving my hair! Great product. I shampoo for real one day and use this the next day. AND it's about half the price of the Klorane. (Psssst isn't as good either and smells like deodorant.) Algemarin ROCKS.

The Cleanest of Scents5
Several years back while working in Germany, I came across Algemarin. I immediately became hooked on it's scent and the incredible suds it makes in the tub. You can lay in the tub for quite a while without the water running and Algemarin suds will keep together.

People in the US that know about it, think of it as something exotic, though in Germany it is sold in drugstores and supermarkets.

The quality is first-rate.

ooo good stuff5
Very satisfied. My daughter also bought this product. Excellent product, fair price from dealer. As long as there is not a prioce increase we will continue to purchase from them.

This stuff is luxurious5
I've been using Algemarin for years. As the other reviewer said, it's really hard to find in the U.S., but anyone that's tried it will go to any lengths to find it. I have ordered it over the internet, but this was the best price that I've found yet.

Dry shampoo - great idea, but...3
I bought this prior to my having surgery. I wasn't able to walk up steps to take a shower, and my hair gets greasy within 24 hours, so I wanted to look semi-decent when my friends came to visit, take care of me at home. I used the spray on day 2 days after washing, and it actually didn't look too bad. It made a mess of white powder, when I brushed my hair, but ah, for the sake of vanity. Two days later, I washed my hair, and again, two days after that, tried to use the dry shampoo. The tip was totally clogged. I tried soaking the tips in hot water, and when something finally came out, it was just not as closely nice as the first time I used it. Beginners luck or whatever, I asked someone to buy me a headband and sucked in the vanity of my greasy hair. There's GOT to be a product out there that works well, right? I remember PSSSSSST from my youth, but why can't you buy that in the stores anymore? Probably for a good reason.... Nothing beats a good ol' shampooing.

Good basic dry shampoo4
This is a good, basic dry shampoo. My teenage daughter, who has very fine hair that tends to get oily pretty quickly, uses it regularly as a quick touch up and it works quickly and well to give her hair a clean, fuller look. My only slight objection is that it has a distinct aroma -- not a bad one, but a noticable perfumy smell. But it's not a bad one, and if you are looking for a dry shampoo this is the best one I have found.

Best I've Tried5
I've tried a few dry shampoos in my life and nothing worked until I finally tried Algemarina Dry Shampoo. It's great! I have a lot of problems right now that cause me pain and showering to wash my hair every day or even every other day isn't possible, so using this dry shampoo is a godsend. It truly makes my hair feel and look clean. I just can't recommend this enough. May sure you don't spray in too much or too close, but it's really forgiving as well. Love it!

My favorite soap, but terrible price5
I really like this soap, in fact I made a subscription for it. I have eczema and it's something that's helped me for years. I even carry a little travel bottle of it in my purse to use at public restrooms. They had it at Costco at one time, but then I couldn't find it for a long time and was so grateful Amazon had it. Now, I've received my shipment and was at Costco the other day and saw they are now stocking it again and when I saw their price, and I realize that I really paid too much. [...] and then the 20% off neutrogena coupon on the subscription, if they let you do that, would not get it to be a better deal [...] I just wanted to warn everyone to realize this is only three bottles and is right now a terrible deal. 5 stars for the soap, 1 star for the price... If this is the only place you can find it, then it's probably worth it, but just check around because even my local grocery store can beat [...] a bottle.

Perfect facial soap5
OK, sissy man is going to write a review of facial soap.

I really hate it when soap leaves residue on my face, like the deodorant soap does. I also hate the dried-out feeling that some soaps give your face.

This soap is perfect. No perfume, no residue. It quickly prepares my face for shaving (I don't use shaving cream, just a wash with this stuff and long hot rinse, then shave with a blade) I don't use hair gel, or conditioner, or cologne, or many other toiletries, but this one is my luxury.

PS a little goes a long way. I get almost 6 months out of each bottle (there are three bottles in each pack).

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti Aging Power Treatment Kit

Product Description

The Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator Kit reveals noticeably softer skin today for younger looking skin tomorrow. Massaging your skin with the system applicator, this kit delivers the perfect degree of gentle exfoliation with single-use puffs. More effective than professional microdermabrasion, this skin rejuvenator is gentle enough that you can use it up to three times a week. Better Skin In Four Easy Steps This ultimate anti-aging power treatment couldn't be simpler to use. Packed with ultra-fine crystals and mild purifiers, the single-use rejuvenating puffs attach to the attachment head with the blue side facing up. Secure puffs to the head by pressing with your thumb and then wet them thoroughly. Once you snap the attachment head to the system applicator, you're ready to massage each facial area for one to two minutes. The massaging micro-vibrations boost microcirculation and oxygenation for increased radiance, while surface stimulation increases cell turnover. When you're done, fully rinse your face and dispose of the puff, but be sure to keep the attachment head. More Effective Than Professional Treatments Dermatologist clinical studies have shown the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator helps reduce multiple signs of aging. In addition to helping maintain softer and firmer skin, it decreases pore size, wrinkles, and age spots. Gentle enough to use up to three times a week, this system is more effective than professional microdermabrasion because it allows you to continually build on the benefits of your last treatment. The battery-powered applicator requires two AA batteries (included).

Customer Reviews

Great product, does what it says it will - but refills aren't available!3
This is a great little product - Neutrogena took the vibrating rejuvenator unit that it used for its Microdermabrasion kit and added a velcro piece that allows you to attach the rejuvenator puffs. Instructions tell you to use it for 2-3 minutes per facial area - I use it for 5-6 minutes on my entire face just before jumping in the shower in the morning. It replaces my scrub a few times a week. So far I've noticed drastically smoother skin - and at 27 I am looking for something to really scrub away dead skin cells and maybe even out my skin a bit. This feels like it is doing both. The puff foams up with water, and is definitely a bit scratchy. There is a pleasant smell when you are using it.

I had to take off two stars for the following: price. It's overpriced. The unit comes with batteries, but you're still paying $35-39 for a low-tech electronic vibrating device and 12 puffs. Twelve. That will last you 3 or 4 weeks at the most.

The second star is lost by the puffs themselves. They can't be found anywhere. I've looked online and in the store. I'm yet to find them - so I am hoping I do so before I run out of the ones that came with the unit.

UPDATE 1/4/08 - refill puffs are now available on both Amazon and major retail stores. There was quite a delay there, though, so I know the early adopters were really sweating it out. Whew!

Love that 'spa' feeling5
The experience of using the skin rejuvenator I found most appealing for the sense of relaxation and glamour I felt. The overall sense was of a warm massage for the facial areas - certainly a treat for those like myself who, though well past the age where wrinkles may be expected to evaporate, love a sense of beauty and pampering. It would be an excellent gift - unless, of course, it were given to anyone who'd be insulted at the thought of needing 'rejuvenation.'

The product leaves one's skin feeling very smooth and soft, and there is no irritation (as one might have with certain scrubs). The pressure is light - sufficient to give the 'massage' effect, but not at all rough to the touch. Overall, it is a delightful beauty product.

Love the softness and fresh look of my skin...5
After using the Skin Rejuvenator for several days, I have to say I love the feel and look of my skin...it feels tight, smooth and appears glowing and healthy. I was amazed at the ease of use of this product. You simply install the batteries (had a little trouble getting the cover off the back) clip on the attachment head, and stick a rejuvenating pad on the attachment. Simple!! I've been using mine in the shower...apply a little water to the pad, and massage my face and neck for several min., concentrating on the areas I feel need it most. It suggests focusing on problems areas for 1-2 min...for me this won't work, as my skin is really sensitive, and the abrasion is too much, so I just focus on those areas for about 20-30 seconds before moving on. The skin abound my mouth was fairly sensitive the first time I used it, but after figuring out what works for me, I can't begin to tell you how awesome this product is!! For the price, there is NO WAY to beat it. I have tried peels, other 'rejuvenators', exfoliants...and this is by far the best product I've run across yet. I'm not sure what the additional pads run, but you bet it's worth it!!
Don't miss this inexpensive "trip to the spa!"

S Factor Papaya Leave-In Moisture Spray (8.45 fl. oz)

Customer Reviews

Smells delicious...3
So I've only used this once (probably not the best research for a review) but I was so excited to find reasonably-priced S-Factor I ordered lots of the products. The spray itself seems really light - nice for a leave-in but makes you wonder what it really does. Doesn't seem to be very effective for detangling. Smells fantastic, so that's a plus. And it seems to be pretty moisturizing, especially for a spray (compared to leave-in pomades/creams.) My hair is very shiny after blowdrying. I left off two stars because I think it could be a better detangler, and possibly a bit heavier consistency.

Dream drops for sure!4
This product works wonders for thick/bushy hair... simply squeeze a few drops onto damp hair before blow drying and voila... sleek hair that does not look like it has a ton of product in it! I love this product.

easy to use with a great result5
A hair stylist used this on my hair at the end of a recent haircut. I loved it so much I went straight home to amazon.com to buy it. Sometimes these oil based hair products make your hair look greasy and stringy. This product doesn't! Instead, your hair is shiny and full of body. Will definitely buy again (as soon as my bottle starts running low.) Though you can use it on dry hair, I only use it on damp hair before I blow dry my hair.
