Neutrogena – Give Us so Many More Products
I’m regularly staggered by how firms that I recollect as a child have often grown to give us so many more products than we could ever expect. When I now glance at the net and look up something like Neutrogena for instance in order to find some hand cream I’m bombarded with adverts for all kinds of other Neutrogena products that I didn’t know existed. I imagine it is just the way of the world and if a company is a specialist in hand cream and does not expand its horizons it would not be well placed to keep up very well with all the other companies and hand cream products on the market. It is not I’m not especially happy about this. I’m regularly just shocked at how quickly things change. When I was a child being raised in Scandinavia everybody had a tube of Neutrogena hand cream in their place. It was believed to be a little miraculous cream which was produced when someone saw how silky smooth the hands of the mackerel and herring fishermen were. It was an oddity that man who were out in all weathers should have such wonderful hands and that was soon discovered it was because of the oily fish. Now of course Neutrogena also produce face creams and cleansers as well as micro granule facial scrubs and shampoo and anti dandruff shampoo. Long past are the times of just one cream and I should admit that there is more than Neutrogena hand cream in my house now.
