Jen Garner has a lot on her plate. She’s a mum to three kids, coordinates a blended family with her ex Ben Affleck and his partner (who you might’ve heard of), Jennifer Lopez, while also living up to her reputation of being the sweetest woman in showbiz (is it the dimples?). So it’s no wonder that when it comes to her nighttime skin care routine, the actress likes to keep things simple.
Simple enough, in fact, that it centres around one inexpensive drugstore cleansing product: Neutrogena Daily Gentle Wash ($13.99, currently $6.99 at Chemist Warehouse). Speaking to Well and Good, Jennifer painted a picture of just how much she relies on this hydrating wash, as the brand ambassador revealed she keeps a bottle in “every single bathroom in [her] house.”
Speaking of the dermatologist-recommended drugstore cleanser, Jen said: “It’s such a no-brainer, because it doesn’t dry you out.” This is primarily due to its soap-free, hypoallergenic formulation, which is enriched with soothing chamomile, geranium, and moisturising glycerin.
Although some celebs swear by their 10-step routines, Jennifer’s beauty regimen revolves around a few key components. The first? Regular cleansing: “I never skip a face wash.” And the second is the inclusion of two active ingredients: hyaluronic acid and retinol. Jen described the anti-ageing and hydrating duo as the “two ingredients that can really change your skin.”
After cleansing, she follows with a retinol serum, like the BOOST LAB Retinol Night Renewal Serum ($29.95, Adore Beauty), then finishes off using the best-selling Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser ($26.99 currently $13.99 at Chemist Warehouse), which contains a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid. “I’ll put it on my face and decolletage, then turn my phone off and go to bed,” says Jennifer.
So there you have it. Could this be the simplest skin care routine in Hollywood?
Have you tried these Neutrogena products recommended by Jennifer Garner?
Neutrogena makes some wonderful products but I’m a bit conflicted about buying them as they are own by J&J.
Ooooh, ok. Same, do not want to support that company
Yeah me either.
Same!
One of my besties died from mesothelioma at 38. Companies that knowingly marketed products containing asbestos are a special kind of evil. Not to mention the faulty mesh implants class action.
Oh no! I had no idea! Including their baby products??
Wait, why not?
why
Keeps creeps she looks amazing without makeup.
Jeeps
Haha, Perthchick! That makes a bit more sense!
She does look phenomenal!
Jen has naturally beautiful skin but I’ll take her recommendations!
I haven’t tried this product. And don’t think it’s for me. But she does look great!
That product won’t be for me. Anything with geranium badly irritates my skin
I’ve not tried Jennifer’s recommended cleanser but her skin always looks youthful and flawless.
Neutrogena makes some really good products now. I have used 2
I’ve seen her ads for Nutrogena. I love their hand cream.
Oh, that’s right – she’s their spokesperson, so of course, she’s going to recommend their products.
Because she’s paid to do so! Haha!
Yes, I can’t help but wonder what cleanser she would recommend when the camera crews aren’t there?!
I do really seeing them, she has been their ambassador for a while now.
Cleansers can actually damage your skin in the long term so always choose a gentle cleanser.
I adore LRP Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser and QV Gentle Cleanser.
Simple, no frills, affordable and used by a celebrity , fantastic!
She’s got great skin: a combination of good genes & looking after herself.
She’s an all round lovely person! She has smiling eyes!
She does look very happy person doesnt she?! : )
I haven’t used those particular Neutrogena products but I love their Rapid Wrinkle Repair range.
Her skin looks great!
who doesn’t love Jen, her down to earth styles
I haven’t tried this particular cleanser but she has amazing skin.
I haven’t used that specific one before but I’ve used other Neutrogena cleansers
I used to use Neutrogena, years back. But then one day their packaging changed and I presume so did the ingredients and the whole range that I used to use no longer suited my skin type…
I haven’t tried Neutrogena products since I was young. But their products are recommended by a lot of people
I’ve used Neutrogena products before but nowadays I prefer more natural ones, like Nourished Life
I love her! I know she’s a Neutrogena spokesperson, but she looks amazing.
I avoid supermarket brands. Too cheap to be of good quality & contain palm oil and other nasties.

I do like the brand and was thinking of trying it next time I need a cleanser. But after reading it is made by J&J I’m now not so sure??
What is wrong with J&J ?
super good value
Jennifer Garner is a great Ambassador for Neutrogena such wonderful products.
Is that because she’s the face of Neutrogena? Lol
she looks so tired in that top photo – must’ve had a late night?! She looks great in the movies!!
She’s a natural beauty…
I do like Neutrogena moisturisers. I’ve never thought to look to purchase their Cleanser.
I suspect most celebrity mums wouldn’t have time for the elaborate routines.
neutrogena is awesome.
I haven’t tried them as yet
I have used some Neutrogena products. But not the cleanser.
Neutragena is geat value
I don’t spend much on cleanser. As long as the product cleans my skin well without stripping it, I’m happy
She does have great looking skin; but her smile is even prettier.
