Neutrogena Evenly Clear Acne Gel Moisturizer 1.7 fl oz — 0.5% Salicylic Acid, 2% N‑Acetyl Glucosamine for Lightweight, Non-Greasy

Neutrogena Evenly Clear Acne Gel Moisturizer is a lightweight, non-greasy daily gel that treats breakouts with 0.5% salicylic acid while helping fade post-acne marks with 2% N‑Acetyl Glucosamine.

This fast-absorbing 1.7 fl. oz. moisturizer is formulated for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. It combines an acne-fighting beta hydroxy acid with a conditioning ingredient designed to improve the appearance of post‑acne discoloration and overall skin clarity. Free of fragrance and dyes and labeled non-comedogenic, the gel delivers 24-hour hydration without a heavy finish and supports an even-looking complexion over continued use.

How does this moisturizer help reduce active breakouts?

The product uses 0.5% salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid that penetrates pores to help loosen oil and dead skin that can contribute to blemishes. Applied daily, it acts as a maintenance treatment to both treat current pimples and help prevent new ones from forming without leaving a greasy residue.

• Contains 0.5% salicylic acid for pore-penetrating exfoliation
• Fast-absorbing gel base suitable for oily skin types
• Non-comedogenic formula reduces risk of clogged pores

Will it help fade post-acne marks and improve skin tone?

The formula includes 2% N‑Acetyl Glucosamine, an ingredient chosen to support the visible reduction of post-acne marks and uneven tone over time. With regular use, users report improved clarity and a more even-looking complexion as discoloration appears diminished.

• 2% N‑Acetyl Glucosamine targets the look of post-acne marks
• Clinically proven improvements in skin smoothness and radiance in one week for many users
• Works alongside salicylic acid for clearer, more even skin appearance

How does it feel on the skin and fit into a daily routine?

The gel is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves a balanced, non-greasy finish—making it easy to layer under sunscreen and makeup. It provides 24-hour hydration to help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier while remaining suitable for morning or evening application.

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing gel texture
• 24-hour hydration helps strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier
• Fragrance- and dye-free for a minimal-scent routine

Is this product suitable with other acne treatments or sensitive skin?

Neutrogena Evenly Clear is formulated to be non-comedogenic and free of fragrances and dyes, which can make it easier to integrate into multi-step acne regimens. If you use potent retinoids or other exfoliating treatments, introduce the gel gradually and monitor for irritation; consult a dermatologist for personalized combinations.

• Non-comedogenic and fragrance/dye-free formulation
• Compatible with many daily skincare layers when used as directed
• Introduce slowly with other active ingredients to avoid irritation
