After any kind of cosmetic treatment, the last thing you want to do is slather on skin care that may irritate an already sensitive complexion. With a continued rise in popularity of procedures like lasers, microneedling, microdermabrasion, skin-tightening treatments and light therapies, finding a solid post-procedure cream is crucial to getting the glowing skin you just paid a pretty penny for.
NewBeauty Readers Review Neocutis Aftercare Post-Treatment Soothing Cream
We asked over 1,000 NewBeauty readers* for their feedback on Neocutis’ Aftercare ($156), a soothing cream designed for post-treatment skin, and a strong majority agreed this velvety cream is “better” than similar post-procedure skin care on the market. “I tried Neocutis AFTERCARE after a microneedling session, and I honestly never want to be without it again. The formula is incredibly soothing—within minutes of application, the tightness and redness were noticeably reduced,” says Ally H. “I used [Aftercare] after a deep micro-needling. The redness and tenderness cleared up much faster than usual,” agrees Tammy S.
What makes Aftercare stand out among an explosion of other post-procedure skin-care options? One word: formula. Neocutis Aftercare has growth factors, glycerin, lipids, wild yam root extract, bisabolol, dimethicone and the brand’s own proprietary protein blend to calm and nurture skin, prevent excessive dryness, friction and rubbing, promote skin elasticity and infuse moisture to skin’s deepest layers.
To reap all the benefits of Neocutis Aftercare, the brand recommends applying the cream to the treated area immediately following fractional ablative procedures (such as Fraxel®, HALO™) and nonablative treatments (like microneedling, peels, skin tightening) and as needed, or as directed by your skin-care professional.
Nickie H. calls Aftercare a “staple” in her skin-care routine. “Whether recovering from a more intense treatment or wanting a luxurious, reparative product in your skin-care routine, Neocutis delivers real results without compromising skin comfort.” Ally H. told us Aftercare has earned a “permanent spot” in her routine. “If you invest in in-office treatments or have reactive skin, this is absolutely worth the splurge.” Sheryl G. explained her skin felt like “sandpaper” after a thyroid procedure caused a hormonal imbalance. Using Aftercare as a daily moisturizer for just a few days brought her skin back to normal. “I already have a backup, because when it runs out I don’t want to miss a day.” Other reviewers echo that sentiment: several recommend Neocutis Aftercare not just for post-procedure, but for anyone with dry, flaky or sensitive skin, thanks to its lightweight texture, non-greasy finish and its fragrance-free formula. “The way it makes my skin feel is incredible: soft, smooth and so calm,” raves Karen G. “If [Neocutis’] other products are anything like this one, I know I’m in for a treat.”
