Product review - Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash: what's behind the label?

The following statement caught my eyes:

"Neutrogena, a leading dermatologist-skincare brand, offers a variety of beauty and skincare products and Neutrogena Body Wash is one of the best products they boast of.

So when I was reading this I felt I had to post about it for 2 reasons: 1. there is too much hype for this product and 2. I used it on my back with no results.

Yes, maybe it smells good, but when I took a shower and I used it, the harsh chemicals in it caused me eczema.

Since you can't really treat acne or any pimples from outside, this product won't be a cure for any acne prone skin. (And it didn't help me either.)

On the bottle you can read the following: "NEUTROGENA® BODY CLEAR® Body Wash is a refreshing clean-rinsing body wash that cleanses acne-prone skin on your back, chest and shoulders. This effective, yet gentle formula contains salicylic acid that penetrates deep down into pores, removing oils and impurities without overdrying or irritating your skin. The foaming lather rinses completely without pore-clogging residue, leaving your skin feeling clean."

I checked their website and I clicked on the "Why Neutrogena?" and I found these claims:

• The strong relationship between Neutrogena Corporation and dermatologists gave the company an exceptional competitive advantage.
• (...)a new emphasis was directed toward marketing and research efforts to create a line of safe, mild, premium quality skincare products.
• Member of Johnson & Johnson companies
• Neutrogena the #1 Dermatologist Recommended skincare brand

This sounds very nice and very promising to someone who wants to purchase any Neutrogena product.

Product review- Dove go fresh Revive Body Wash

Dove campaign for real beauty is a very nice mission. In their commercial they always show real women and not models that gives us a positive feeling. 

Besides, Dove wants us to accept ourselves as we are and it's inspiring. They try to build our self-esteem that makes them different from other big companies.

But I don't find their products as good as their mission and unfortunately they are not different than other brands which use harmful synthetic ingredients...
