recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its

Although the Company believes that the disclosure in the condensed consolidated

information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements

Exchange Commission.  The October 31, 1993 audited statements were included in

NOTE D -

The Company adopted, effective November 1, 1992, Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," issued in
February 1992.  Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled.  Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.

The adoption of SFAS 109 increased net income, on a one-time basis, for the six
months ended April 30, 1993 by $1,069 or $.04 per share.  

NOTE E -

On September 21, 1993, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase
up to 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock from time to time in the open market
and in privately negotiated transactions.  As of April 30, 1994, the Company has
not purchased any shares under this authorization.

                    INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT


The Board of Directors
Neutrogena Corporation

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Neutrogena
Corporation as of April 30, 1994, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended
April 30, 1994 in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and
Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. All information included in these condensed consolidated financial
statements is the representation of management of Neutrogena Corporation.

A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Neutrogena Corporation as of
October 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
November 30, 1993, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 1993, 
is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                         
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30,
1993

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1994 reached $73.0 million for an
increase of $6.5 million or 10%.  New product sales reached $6.2 million (a
product is defined as a new product until it has completed one full fiscal year
of sales).  Both volume on existing products and price changes had an
insignificant impact on sales growth for the quarter.

Sales in the United States reached $56.6 million for an increase of $5.8 million
or 11%.  Sales turned up well into the second quarter and are continuing their
growth into May.  International sales (which includes U.S. based export) reached
$16.5 million for an increase of $.7 million or 4%.

Gross profit margin decreased to 73.9% of sales from 74.4% primarily due to a
change in the mix of products sold in Europe.  Marketing and selling expense
decreased to 60% of sales from 62%.  This decrease reflects the timing of
promotions and advertising campaigns.  General and Administrative expense
remained constant at 4% of sales for the quarter, but may increase in the second
half of the year if business volume continues to grow.

Income from operations increased 30% and is 9.4% of sales.  The increase in
income is principally attributable to the U.S. sales increase.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1993

Net sales for the first half reached $133.7 million for a decrease of $3.1
million or 2%.  New product sales contributed $11.4 million, while volume on
existing products fell by $13.0 million.  A stronger U.S. dollar as compared to
the same period in 1993 reduced reported sales by $1.3 million.

Sales in the United States totaled $103.2 million for a decrease of $4.0 million
or 4%.  The decline was attributable to the lack of a strong sell-in of the
first quarter Shower Care promotion.  The first quarter sales were impacted
by the unusually severe winter in the midwest and eastern United States.

International sales reached $30.5 million for an increase of $.9 million or 3%. 
Sales in Europe were below expectations as the Company continued through the
start-up period relating to both establishing its own sales force in France
effective November 1, 1993 and a new distributor in Spain and Portugal.  The
poor economic conditions, particularly in France, had a negative impact on 
sales. Sales remained strong in Mexico and Latin America.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1993
(Continued)

Gross profit margins for the first six months were 74.2% of sales compared to
74.4% during 1993.  Gross profit margin was negatively impacted by product and
promotional mix changes.  Marketing and Selling expense decreased by .9% to
59.4% of sales from 60.3% in 1993.  This decline is due to the timing of
promotions and advertising campaigns.

Income from operations increased 14% and is 10.3% of sales as compared to 8.8%
of sales during 1993.  This increase in operating income was the result of tight
cost controls limiting expenditures on Marketing and Selling and General and
Administrative expenses, as well as the timing of marketing programs.

The effective tax rate for the first half was 37.0% compared to 36.5% during
1993.  The effective tax rate is impacted by changes in tax exempt interest
earned on the Company's investment portfolio and the effect of sales volume
manufactured in the Company's facility located in a tax-free zone in France. 
Net income (before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting for income 
taxes SFAS 109) increased by 12.1%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six months ended April 30, 1994, cash and temporary investments
decreased by $17.9 million.  This seasonal decrease is caused by annual payments
of trade allowance programs, dividends, and acquisition of fixed assets offset
by cash generated from operations.

The Company continues to use short-term debt in Europe to, in part, assist in
foreign exchange management.  As of April 30, 1994, the debt balance was $6.2
million.  Additional borrowing may be made as deemed necessary.

Stockholders' equity increased $3.3 million or 3% principally due to first half
net earnings offset by the payment of the annual dividend.

The Company believes its current cash position, the working capital generated by
future operations and the ability to borrow from financial institutions should
be adequate to meet its financing requirements for current operations and the
foreseeable future.
