Neutrogena is a brand that we’ve grown up with. We know them as the “Dermotologist Recommended” line that is famous for it’s pioneering anti-aging skincare products, fast-acting anti-acne products and even it’s new natural, purifying cleansers. But did you know that they have a fast-growing makeup line too? We asked one of our expert evaluators to test drive the mineral powder and show us the results (with photos!)

Neutrogena SkinClearing Mineral Powder is the first and only gentle powder to blend soothing minerals with MicroClear® technology that cuts quickly through oil to speed the delivery of maximum-strength acne medicine straight to the source of breakouts. SkinClearing Mineral Powder works quickly to treat and help prevent breakouts blemishes without the dryness or flakiness of other acne treatments.

This is Antonella before she tried the powder (click on the images to enlarge).

Below, Antonella is wearing Neutrogena Skin Clearing Mineral Powder in Natural Ivory #20.

She says the color really blended nicely with her skin tone. She will continue to use the product and report back as to how well it prevented breakouts. But she definitely recommends this powder for normal to oily skin, since the powder is so good at oil absorbing. Antonella also recommends that you always apply concealer before powder. The powder on top sets the concealer (doing the reverse can make for a pasty uneven mess).
