| A powerful cleanser, yet gentle to your skin! So, what's PM2.5? |
Seriously guys, the haze. Not funny. Apparently, even on normal days, pollution + urban condition, it already has PM2.5 everywhere. Free for you.
So, what is PM2.5? Neutrogena Malaysia has all the answers in this video:
Did you know – pollution affects a staggering 80% of urbanites! And because of constant exposure to this poor-quality air filled with micro-pollutants, our skin experiences 60% moisture loss after just 7 days!
One of the most concerning pollutants with skin-damaging effects is Particulate Matter (PM). Research has shown that any PM with a diameter of 10 microns or less (≤ PM10) can penetrate through the skin, causing serious health issues, and one of the biggest skin’s enemies within this range is PM2.5.
This is particularly alarming for city dwellers – according to survey results published by the World Health Organization (WHO) over 4,300 cities, only 20% of the world’s population is living in areas with acceptable levels of PM2.5!

Because
PM2.5 is invisible to the naked eye, it causes unseen harm and damage to our
complexion. When PM2.5 enters our skin, it weakens and damages the skin’s natural
protective barrier, obstructing pores and preventing them from functioning properly.
When our pores are suffocated, the skin is unable to regenerate itself, thereby
leading to even more issues.
The
common symptoms of skin damage caused by PM2.5 include: dryness, dullness
caused by a decrease in collagen, aggravation of acne symptoms, pigmentation
and dark spots, premature lines and wrinkles, and other skin problems.
Is
there a way to safely remove harmful PM2.5 from our skin? There is wisdom in
the age-old saying, “prevention is better than cure”. Therefore, it is more
sustainable to prevent the onset of skin problems before they happen, rather
than to try and repair the damage done when it’s too late.
To
minimize the impact of air pollution on your skin, cleanse your face twice a day with a facial cleanser that not only removes dirt and impurities, but also
takes away micro dust. As PM2.5 particles are so small and can be difficult to
remove, you’ll need a cleanser that is clinically proven to effectively cleanse
away these micro-pollutants.
However,
not all cleansers are made equal – many women tend to have the misconception
that all foaming cleansers in the market provide adequate protection from external
pollutants, but the truth is that they don’t!
Neutrogena®
introduces a simple and effective method to take away 99% of PM2.5 micro-pollutants^
while giving back skin’s nourished glow! Take the first step towards healthier,
clearer skin with Neutrogena® Deep Clean®
Foaming Cleanser, the 1st pure glycerin-based foaming cleanser*
that is clinically proven to remove 99.9% of dirt and impurities from deep
within the skin!
Featuring
a non-drying oil control formula, the foaming cleanser creates a rich, ultra-creamy
lather that reaches deep into pores, thoroughly removing impurities such as
dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells. Shine and surface oil are reduced, while
retaining natural moisture balance, thanks to its key ingredient, Pure
Glycerin, which nourishes and refines the complexion for a clear, fresh and
healthy-looking glow.
Gentle
and non-irritating, Glycerin is a powerful humectant which draws moisture from
the environment to keep skin hydrated. According to experts, Glycerin mimics
our skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which makes it highly suitable
for all skin types – even oily/combination or problematic skin! Other benefits
of Glycerin include: reducing skin roughness, helping to shield skin from
environmental irritation, and strengthening skin’s moisture barrier.
