How your skin reacts tells you whether the dark circles are caused by thinner under-eye skin or pigmentation. Related storiesFor thin skin, Zubritsky told BI that products with hyaluronic acid should help hydrate and plump the skin. AdvertisementBoth she and Penzi suggested Neutrogena Hydroboost Eye Gel Cream, and Penzi also recommended First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid. If you deal with puffiness, "it's important to look for under-eye creams with ingredients like caffeine," Zubritsky said, because caffeine constricts blood vessels and improves circulation. Advanced Eye, Neutrogena Hydro Boost+ Caffeine Eye Gel Cream, and CeraVe Skin Renewing Eye Cream as all options with caffeine in them.

Advertisement"It felt like it was more authentic," Andrea Brimmer, chief marketing and PR officer of Ally Financial, parent of Ally Bank, said of the decision to use the reality format. In another recent example, H&R Block in February dropped "Responsibility Island," a limited series reality spoof based on the popular British reality dating show "Too Hot to Handle." "It is the perfect escape; reality TV is a genre that just delights them." Other brands like Neutrogena have lately co-opted the reality TV format for social media series.

Because mineral sunscreens aren't absorbed, older formulations often had a greasy feel and a white appearance. People who do not like the thicker texture of mineral sunscreens often use chemical sunscreens in creams or sprays. The ingredients form a thin protective film that absorbs UV rays and changes their structure, converting them into heat before they penetrate the skin. Extreme heat also means more sweating, and sweat can contribute to itchiness and rashes some people experience from ingredients in chemical sunscreens, Radusky added. Even in the absence of extreme heat, people with sensitive skin should opt for mineral sunscreens, the AAD advises.

Most consumers have pulled back on spending as inflation squeezes their wallets, but they have not stopped paying up for brand-name health and personal care products, Kenvue CEO Thibaut Mongon said. Kenvue also noted that "private label" penetration in the consumer health product market was stable for the quarter. Those spending trends could bode well not only for Kenvue, but also for other companies in the consumer health, beauty and beverage spaces that may not see consumers trade down to cheaper products as often despite stubbornly high prices. RBC Capital analyst Nik Modi expressed confidence in Kenvue's ability to "maintain its momentum," highlighting consumer trust in the company's brands and health and personal care products overall. Meanwhile, Kenvue has gained market share, and could potentially continue to do so despite the broader environment, he noted.

Companies Kenvue Inc FollowNeutrogena Corporation FollowHaleon Plc Follow Show more companiesJuly 20 (Reuters) - Kenvue (KVUE.N), the former consumer health unit of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N), forecast full-year profit above Wall Street estimates on Thursday, betting on resilient demand for its skincare and self-care products such as Neutrogena and Tylenol. Kenvue, in its first results after being spun off from Johnson & Johnson in May, forecast full-year adjusted profit per share between $1.26 and $1.31. However, adjusted gross profit margin came in at 57.5%, compared to 59.3% a year earlier, dragged by a strong dollar and higher costs. Meanwhile, J&J raised its 2023 profit forecast on Thursday, banking on the strength in its medical devices business and demand for its cancer drugs such as Darzalex. Net sales rose 5.4% to $4.01 billion while adjusted profit per share came in at 32 cents.

Kenvue reported second-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings that topped expectations Thursday in the consumer health company's first quarterly report since it spun out from Johnson & Johnson two months ago. But J&J still owns a 90% stake in Kenvue, meaning it can generally control the direction of the spinoff's business for now. Excluding certain items, the company's adjusted earnings were 32 cents a share. The company's full-year adjusted earnings outlook is $1.26 to $1.31 per share. The company reported sales growth across its three business divisions in the second quarter.

Kenvue is well-positioned for accelerated growth following its separation from parent company Johnson & Johnson, according to JPMorgan. Following its spinoff earlier in May, Kenvue is the largest pure-play consumer health company in the world. The company holds commonly-known brands such as Neutrogena, Tylenol, Aveeno and Zyrtec — amounting to 10 brands with sales greater than $400 million. "We view KVUE as uniquely positioned to benefit from consumer mega trends (self-care, aging)." JPMorgan thinks Kenvue is still trading at an attractive valuation despite jumping since its May 3 IPO, which was priced at $22 per share.
Thibaut Mongon, CEO of Kenvue Inc. a Johnson & Johnson consumer-health business, speaks during an interview with CNBC during his company's IPO at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), May 4, 2023. Kenvue CEO Thibaut Mongon is betting on brand and product innovation to drive growth at the newly spun-out company after its solid debut on the public market Thursday. Kenvue, spun out of Johnson & Johnson , carries a packed portfolio of widely known brands, such as Band-Aid, Tylenol, Listerine, Neutrogena, Aveeno and J&J's namesake baby powder. But Mongon told CNBC that Kenvue's portfolio of brands has "ample opportunity" to grow. Mongon believes product innovation ultimately makes Kenvue's brands "more relevant than ever" to consumers as they better target their needs.
Thibaut Mongon, CEO and Paul Ruh CFO of Kenvue Inc. a Johnson & Johnson's consumer-health business, pose together during the company's IPO at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., May 4, 2023. Johnson & Johnson 's consumer health spinoff Kenvue jumped 16% in its market debut on the New York Stock Exchange Thursday, marking the biggest U.S. IPO in more than a year. Kenvue sold 172.8 million shares in an upsized deal that raised about $3.8 billion and valued the company at roughly $41 billion. "Millions of consumers around the world this morning wake up with a Kenvue product in their home," CEO Thibaut Mongon, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Thursday morning ahead of the stock's debut. Mongon previously served as J&J's executive vice president and worldwide chair of consumer health.
The health of the IPO market is dependent on many factors, but principally it boils down to: 1) the strength of the overall stock market (trending up is best), and 2) interest rates (lower is better). The IPO investor wish list: stable markets, Fed done hiking, and lower IPO prices "The most important factor for the IPO market is you need the market to hold up well," Santosh Rao, head of Research at Manhattan Venture Partners, told me. Another essential ingredient for a healthy IPO market: stable interest rates. But the IPO market hasn't seen a "normal" year in a while. High initial IPO prices have proven to be devastating to IPO investors.
Johnson & Johnson products on a shelf in a store in New York. Johnson & Johnson 's consumer health business, Kenvue, is expected to go public this week in the largest U.S. IPO in more than a year. Kenvue is expected to set an IPO price Wednesday night and start trading Thursday morning on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "KVUE." Kenvue would be valued at around $40 billion at the proposed share range, based on the 1.87 billion shares expected to be outstanding once the deal closes. J&J would hold nearly all of those outstanding shares, amounting to more than 1.71 billion shares, according to the prospectus.
The news that Johnson & Johnson had finally begun a roadshow for its long-awaited Kenvue spinoff elicited some satisfaction among IPO watchers. "The investor base is very familiar with the products," Matthew Kennedy, IPO market strategist at Renaissance Capital told me. In the 10 years from 2013 to 2022, about $55 billion was raised on average each year in the IPO market. But in 2022, the IPO market cratered. "Hopefully this will be a more rational IPO market," Rao told me, noting that IPOs have typically underperformed the market because of high initial prices.
