Amazon has 2 of these marked down right now, the most by 19%: the Hydro Boost Water Gel is $20.24 instead of its previous price of $25.10. The markdown is Amazon's own, on an offer from Amazon.com, not a reseller undercutting it.
How to check who sells Neutrogena on Amazon
- Browsing from outside the US, set a US delivery address first; any ZIP will do, 10001 works. Without one Amazon fills the buy box with import and reseller offers. That is how Charlotte Tilbury, Dyson and Clinique once looked unstocked to us, when Amazon.com sold all three.
- Read the two lines beside Add to Cart, “Ships from” and “Sold by”. For Neutrogena you want Amazon.com.
- If another name is there, open “Other sellers on Amazon”. Amazon.com or the brand sometimes sells the same listing one row down, at the same price or close to it.
What Neutrogena stands in for
Neutrogena Body Oil Light Sesame Formula
for NUXE Huile Prodigieuse
$15.99 against $45, 86% less per ounce ($1.89 / fl oz versus $13.31 / fl oz).
Same idea of a light oil: a fast-absorbing ester (isopropyl myristate here, coco-caprylate/caprate and dicaprylyl ether in Nuxe) thins a plant oil so it spreads and sinks in instead of sitting on the skin.
What it does worse: Nuxe blends eight plant oils and is made for face and hair as well, while Neutrogena is sesame oil alone, sold for the body and as a massage oil.
Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
for Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips
$9.97 against $21, 75% less per ounce ($1.25 / fl oz versus $4.97 / fl oz).
Same two-phase design: water below and a volatile solvent on top, shaken together so waterproof mascara dissolves without rubbing and nothing greasy stays behind.
What it does worse: Clinique's solvent phase is isododecane and isohexadecane, Neutrogena's is cyclopentasiloxane and cyclohexasiloxane with aloe and cucumber, and it is preserved with benzalkonium chloride, which can sting sensitive eyes.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
for Tatcha The Water Cream
$20.24 against $74, 72% less per ounce ($11.95 / oz versus $43.77 / fl oz). Both list Hyaluronic acid.
The same oil-free, silicone-slippy gel that sinks in without a greasy film, on the base Tatcha starts from: water, dimethicone and glycerin, with hyaluronic acid on both labels.
What it does worse: None of Tatcha's rice ferment, Japanese botanicals or gold, and it is a polymer-thickened water gel rather than a water-in-silicone cream, so it never gives the burst on contact the Water Cream is bought for.
Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
for Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50
$9.88 against $28, 71% less per ounce ($1.48 / fl oz versus $5.11 / fl oz). Both list Avobenzone and Homosalate and Octisalate.
Same chemical filters at the core: avobenzone, homosalate and octisalate carry both, for broad-spectrum SPF 50 in a lotion made for face and body.
What it does worse: Neutrogena adds a fourth filter, octocrylene, while Supergoop keeps to three and adds sunflower extract.
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Power Serum
for SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.5
$29.97 against $80, 63% less per ounce ($29.54 / fl oz versus $78.86 / fl oz). Both list Retinol.
Same active: pure retinol, 0.5% in SkinMedica and Neutrogena's highest concentration in the Pro+, both with bisabolol and vitamin E to take the edge off irritation.
What it does worse: SkinMedica puts it in a water-based cream-serum with niacinamide, a peptide, soybean oil and squalane, while Neutrogena's is a water-free, silky oil-serum with fragrance, so sensitive skin may do better with the SkinMedica.
