Brand note
Neogen is best known for its exfoliating toner pads, particularly the Bio-Peel Gauze line, which comes in different formulas for different needs — the original wine version is a wash-off treatment for stronger exfoliation, while the PHA green tea version is gentler and can be used daily without rinsing. The brand's approach is functional and targeted, but results are gradual and some products can feel sticky on the skin if not used correctly. The Dermalogy Real Fresh Foam Blueberry cleanser is a standout for its non-stripping, effective clean, though it's not for very sensitive skin.
