SUMMIT, N.J.– Neutrogena announces the launch of Evenly Clear, its first-ever collection formulated specifically to address the complex needs of adults with acne. Co-designed with dermatologists, the multi-benefit collection is clinically proven to treat breakouts and visibly fade the look of post-acne marks while also addressing other common skincare concerns associated with acne-prone skin.
Acne isn't just a teen concern
Acne remains the No. 1 skin concern for adults under 40, with No. 2 being their post-acne marks often driven by stress, hormones, and the pace of modern life. To address this, the brand partnered with a community of leading dermatologists, including Global Innovation Partners, Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali and Dr. Muneeb Shah, on an acne line that recognizes the unique skincare needs and routines of adults.
Having experienced acne, post‑acne marks, and the pressure of being on camera during flare‑ups, actress Joey King understands the challenges of treating acne as an adult. She appears alongside Dr. Bhanusali in the launch campaign, bringing fresh energy to the "adulting" conversation and reinforcing that confidence and care can evolve together.
Co-Designed with Dermatologists
"By engaging a community of leading dermatologists, we created a clinically proven solutions that simultaneously treats active acne and visibly fade the look of post‑acne hyperpigmentation adults struggle with most, while delivering a breakthrough aesthetic experience, all at an accessible price point," says Chris Riat, Global Brand Lead for Neutrogena. "And with Joey King helping bring this story to life, we're able to connect with consumers in an authentic, relatable way."
The Evenly Clear™ collection reflects Neutrogena® Brand's collaboration‑driven innovation model, integrating dermatology, clinical testing, ingredient science, and consumer insights from the earliest stages of development. "Our goal with Neutrogena® was to translate what we see in our practices every day into advanced formulas that are effective and designed to meet real‑life needs," says Dr. Bhanusali. Dr. Shah adds, "By collaborating closely with Neutrogena®, we thoughtfully co‑designed this collection, from sharing formula insights to recommending ingredients and providing valuable dermatological insights, we wanted to make treating acne as an adult easy to understand and fit into busy routines."
