Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer Review
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer Overview
We’ve talked about how it’s difficult to have it all in one product. We know we need moisture. We know we need anti-aging help. And we know we need sunscreen. Wouldn’t it be nice to find one product that does it all? Well, while we keep dreaming about that, there are at products that come close.
Take Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer for instance. With SPF 50, it’s got moisture and sun protection covered. If it works, that is. And while it’s not many, there are some anti-aging components too. So we’re going to look closer to see what this product claims to do and whether or not it lives up to those claims.
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer is a lightweight moisturizer that’s not greasy, but is able to keep your skin hydrated all day long. Meanwhile it’s got antioxidants to fight some of the damage that’s already been done and full broad spectrum protection from the sun’s rays.
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer Ingredients and How They Work
As for the moisturizing aspect of Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer, it’s got glycerin and some silicones. Nothing too fancy, but it does the job while still being lightweight. As for the anti-aging part, there’s Vitamin E for antioxidant protection and nourishment it provides. As for the sunscreen portion, it’s got Neutrogena’s Broad Spectrum SPF50 Helioplex technology. It provides both UVA and UVA protection, blocking 98% of the rays that cause sunburn and 96% of the rays that cause premature aging of your skin.
And that pretty much covers it. Since it’s sun protection, you apply Neutrogena Healthy Defense Liquid Moisturizer daily in the morning. And of course you can reapply throughout the day if you find it to be necessary. You should be aware that it’s very liquid-y, almost milky, to the point that you need to shake it before applying.
