Background
Our Acne in Review team was excited to review such a large and well known skin care name like Neostrata! The Neostrata online store is so massive that we are only focusing on its Neostrata named products.
Neostrata is a physician-dispensed skin care product line that improves the visible signs of aging as well as treats dermatological conditions such as acne, dry skin, hyperkeratosis, and clarity. Neostrata uses advanced hydroxy acid technology to help treat these many different skin conditions.
Ingredients
Neostrata uses a combination of AHAs and PHAs in their formulas. Glycolic Acid is used in Neostrata’s anti-aging products. They were selected because of their ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Lactobionic Acid is also used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to plump-up the skin.
Citric Acid can help minimize the damaging effects of the sun and pollution. Tocopheryl Acetate is Vitamin E acetate and is a well known antioxidant. Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5. It is a moisturizer and skin conditioner.
Mandelic Acid is used in Neostrata’s acne related products because it is known to reduce facial oil.
Neostrata’s products are all hypoallergenic meaning they are non-irritating. Neostrata has clinical data showing that PHA’s are non-irritating and also safe for use around the eyes.
Website
Neostrata’s website is divided into three huge sections. Upon entering you are asked to choose between Corporate, International, or USA sections. After making your selection, you are brought to the appropriate web page for your needs. This is just one way that illustrates how vast and comprehensive this website really is.
Our Acne in Review Treatment team was impressed to see that visitors to this website can find products by brand, skin concern, and category. Visitors can also search by keywords. This was helpful, especially since Neostrata has so many different brands.
The sheer size of this website makes it a bit overwhelming. Most of the pages are very busy, with tabs and links in several places.
Our team found a boatload of information and interesting acne tips. There are testimonials, FAQs, an “As Seen In†section, product reviews, and catalogue ordering just to name a few of the sections available on this website. This website has everything you could need or want.
Lifestyle
Neostrata contains a plethora of interesting and informative information for potential customers to look at, before purchasing their products.
Our team enjoyed reading the huge testimonial section provided, and found it helpful to be able to look at testimonials based on brands.
We also found an extremely large section devoted to media coverage. We were impressed to see discover that Neostrata products have been featured in virtually every magazine imaginable. You can even click on the specific magazine article and read the review.
Overall this website gives potential customers a very comprehensive outlook on Neostrata’s products. Our team thinks Neostrata does a fantastic job backing up their claims.
Pros
Acne in Review felt that Neostrata’s website has something for everyone. They have so many products geared towards many different skin conditions. Their comprehensive FAQ section is designed to help users determine which product lines and which specific product would suit their skin type and skin condition best.
Neostrata is very reasonably priced, especially with all of the deals and offers they have on their website. Neostrata also offers a 30 day money-back guarantee if you have a problem with any product you purchase from their website. The psoriasis cream has a 90 day money-back guarantee.
Cons
Our Acne in Review team felt that this website could include sections that would appeal to a younger demographic. We found that the website was mainly geared towards an older audience. The language, the site design, and a lot of the products are created for adults.
Tricks
Standard shipping is $5.95 but Neostrata offers free ground shipping on all orders over $75. There is also a Friends and Family Discount of 20%.
