Neutrogena’s new Cellular Boost skincare range came to the rescue when my skin needed it most this year and I want to tell you all about it…
My skin took a turn for the worst in 2020. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one experiencing sporadic breakouts, increased redness, dullness and heightened hyperpigmentation, right? None of my products would absorb, I always looked tired and my complexion seemed flat. I lacked radiance. I needed help.
Cue the new range from Neutrogena Cellular Boost range that contains Hexinol®, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol. The four products worked well as a team and are also as effective when individually used. I was sad to see them finish (which is something I don’t often admit) and will definitely repurchase.
FYI:
*Retinol is only contained in the Cellular Boost Concentrate and Eye Cream.
MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS
1. Neutrogena Cellular Boost Day Cream SPF 20, R259:
Look, I love a moisturiser with a built-in SPF. The texture of this day cream is almost identical to the night cream (you’ll read more about below). It’s the perfect balance between not-too-light and not-too-heavy; it doesn’t feel like there’s moisturiser on your skin but the results are evident. This day cream contains Hexinol®, an anti-ageing ingredient that smoothens the appearance of fine lines and helps maintain the skin’s elasticity. It also has Vitamin C, the number one ingredient to help correct uneven skintone, reduce dark spots and slows down further melanin production.
2. Neutrogena Cellular Boost Night Cream, R259:
Ever-so-lightly fragranced with a soft, buttery texture, the Neutrogena Rejuvenating Night Renew Cream shot to the top of my list in this range as I looked forward to applying this product to my skin before bedtime. Night-time products aren’t my favourite part of my skincare regime, as I’m super impatient and like to do the bare minimum (I’m more of a morning-routine-kinda-gal). This night cream was different though and worked well on my skin. It absorbed quickly and I woke up to zero greasy spots on my satin pillowcase in the morning – only a glowing complexion. It also contains the winning anti-ageing ingredient combo (Vitamin C and Hexinol®) which helps your skin look younger while you sleep. Clever!
3. Neutrogena Cellular Boost Eye Rejuvenating Cream, R259:
What makes this eye cream rather exciting is that it contains Retinol to help with hyperpigmentation, collagen, elastin production and helps stimulate surface skin cell renewal. I noticed a vast improvement around my eye area after 6 weeks of use; it appeared brighter and my dark circles had also disappeared. Honestly, it’s the best eye cream I’ve ever used. It really lives up to its name and rejuvenates.
My application tips for this particular eye cream:
*Tap, tap, tap. Don’t pull the skin of your eye area when applying eye cream. It’s so fragile, delicate and prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Be gentle and tap the product into your skin instead.
*Patience is key. Let your eye cream absorb before applying any other products.
*A little goes a long way. Be careful of using too much product. Rather use less.
*Retinol can increase skin sensitivity so be sure to wear SPF.
*Avoid the intimate part of your eye area and apply this eye cream onto your outer eye area, in a semi-circle shape (aka your cheekbone), using your ring finger.
4. Neutrogena Cellular Boost Concentrate Serum, R299:
Serums fascinate me to no end. They’re packed with highly active ingredients in a concentrated formula and treat the skin quickly, delivering fast results. This one did just that.
Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid found within the Neutrogena Cellular Boost Concentrate Serum transformed my skin within a month. I was meticulous with application though and put it on morning and night for extra effect. My skin is usually sensitive but with this product, it co-operated and the results were undeniable. Just like the others, this serum had a lightweight texture that reminded me of an ointment and it fit in perfectly with my skincare routine.
THE RESULTS
It’s not often that I love an entire product range, but here I am, raving about each one. Each product did its job and because of potent ingredients and a rigorous skincare regime, I saw positive results. The price point of each product is brilliant too.
