Review: Neutrogena Moisture Oil-Free Cream with SPF 15

I always have to conduct a deep and extensive research before purchasing anything that goes on my face. I have super sensitive skin that requires a specific caring routine from day-to-day. So if your skin is anything like mine, you will understand the struggle of trying new products (double checking the ingredients, reading 3892748932 reviews online, consulting professionals and so on). 

I decided to switch up my regular face moisturier from Aveeno to the Neutrogena
Moisture Oil-Free Cream with SPF 15 a few months ago. When I first heard about this product, I thought it was not going to work well with my skin, since Neutrogena products have rarely co-operated with my skin in the past. But I did some more research on it, and when I compared Aveeno and Neutrogena side by side, the latter seemed to be a better choice for me. The Aveeno moisturiser works great for normal to dry skin types, but since my skin is little bit more on the oily side, I thought it was better to switch to something that's oil-free and water based (unlike the Aveeno, which was oil-based). 

I've been using this product as my daily moisturiser and under my make-up for about 3 months now. I purchased the 118 ml bottle, and it's lasted much longer than I had anticipated. I haven't experienced any problems or adverse side effects from this cream, rather I noticed that my skin doesn't get as oily as it used to! The packaging is very convenient as well - it is a simple bottle with a pump. The pump doesn't give out too much of the product, which is good because it prevents wastage. I normally only use about a pump and a half for my full face. There is one downside to the product though - it's scent; it doesn't smell bad per se, but it doesn't smell good (The bottle claims that it is Fragrance-Free, so that's probably why). The SPF 15 in the cream prevents the sun from damaging your skin, so that's always a plus for the summertime! 

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has oily and/or sensitive skin. It does a great job at managing the oiliness and it's a very light product in application so it won't harm your skin in anyway. Since it is water based and has SPF 15, it's great for hot summer days to apply underneath your make up or just as a morning/night time moisturiser. It doesn't do much in terms of evening out your skin tone, but it doesn't contribute to worsening it either.The 118 ml bottle is great to carry while travelling and it lasts a good few months!
