What’s more Y2K than the iconic Neutrogena splash TV commercials! Recently the brand is taking us on a nostalgic trip to the late 90s/early 2000s by bringing back the popular splash. The skincare brand kicked off their “Make a Splash” campaign with the help of its Hispanic brand ambassador Gaby Espino and of course, its past brand ambassador Jennifer Garner.

To celebrate the 15 year anniversary of being Neutrogena’s brand ambassador, Jennifer, the ‘13 going on 30’ star took to social media to recreate the “beatific” splash in a hilarious video, where instead she ended up looking drenched and soaked - or as she put it in her caption: “grandma wet t-shirt contest vibes”.

Garner tried several takes, laughing and mentioning that she kind of remembered how it goes. After severl splashes, she said “I’m getting a little, a little questionable in the ratings.” However, her fans absolutely loved it with comments such as “😂😂😂 naaaailed it!!!!” and “You are so freakin cute😍”

Now, as for Gaby Espino, the Venezuelan actress, model and presenter also had her big Neutrogena moment with her own entertaining and funny video of the modern-day recreation! 

First of all, Gaby mentioned how proud she is of being part of the Neutrogena family, then she also gave tips and tricks she learned over the years being its brand ambassador and shared what she remembers from the original Neutrogena commercials. Then the Latina beauty showed us how to nail the perfect splash in style.

“Recreating Neutrogena’s iconic splash was a special moment for me, and I just had an amazing time doing it. Neutrogena is a brand that continues to evolve over the years and I am so happy that we were able to bring the splash back from the TV to social media in our own fun way. And to be honest, seeing everybody join in on the fun was my favorite part of this campaign”

Gaby encouraged all her followers to let their creative genius shine and have fun recreating this super iconic 90s commercial. She said “You can also try it! Head over to TikTok and Join the #MakeASplash challenge for a chance to win a $5,000 prize plus Hydro Boost products for a year and a gift bag!”

We were curious to see how the campaign was going and went to Tik Tok and Instagram, and we found many great videos being submitted. Our favorite was from an influencer with 1.5M followers, Vale Genta (@valegenta). She already has thousands of likes in both IG and Tik Tok and she nails the iconic splash while looking gorgeous at the same time!
