Customer Reviews

NeoStrata Ultra Smoothing Cream  reviews read:

• “I purchased this product after being very pleased with NeoStrata’s AHA face wash, but this was too much for my skin. IT was not irritating, but it did dry my skin out. I won’t be purchasing this again. This is not the best product if you have dry or combination skin (as I do) but would probably be okay if your skin is on the oily side.” — J. Kramer on Amazon
• “Amazing product. It’s a month since I have been using it and I can see changes in my skin. My skin texture is visible softer and smoother, my pores are also visible smaller.” — Hidy Dougan on Amazon

Final Verdict

The NeoStrata Ultra Smoothing Cream offers a good way to help maintain excessively oily, acne prone, and combination skin types. However, when it comes to using highly potent AHAs, each skin is to its own. There is no guarantee that can be made about how it affects your skin. For an exclusively exfoliation function, however, this cream is being too hard on the pocket.
