Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Moisturizer, Daily Anti-Aging Face Cream with Retinol & Hyaluronic Acid to Fight Fine Lines, Wrinkles, & Dark Spots, 1.7 oz

I've been using the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Moisturizer for years now, and it's become a staple in my skincare routine. The combination of retinol and hyaluronic acid has worked wonders for my skin, helping to reduce fine lines and improve overall texture. I appreciate that it's fragrance-free, making it suitable for my sensitive skin. Over time, I've noticed a more youthful and radiant complexion, and I consistently reorder it because it delivers consistent results.I've tried other anti-aging products over the years, but none have worked as effectively or given me the same smooth, glowing skin as this one. Other products either caused irritation or didn’t show noticeable results. Neutrogena's formula is gentle yet powerful, and I won't be switching to anything else anytime soon.

I bought this product for it’s retinol content to help control my acne, in addition to it’s “anti-aging” properties. Along with the rest of my regimen (applying this product after washing with 10% benzoyl peroxide 2x daily, followed by zinc-oxide 46SPF sunscreen in the morning), using this product has helped dramatically improve my skin. I (a 26y/o male) went from having oily skin, numerous blackheads and comedones popping up almost daily (worsening since I’m growing out my hair), to nearly zero acne with less-oily skin in about a week. I’m also noticing a mild reduction in the size/depth of smaller ice pick scars left by previous acne/blackheads.I find this product much less irritating than prescription-strength retinoids, which typically would make me very susceptible to sunburn, even with sunscreen. At worst, this product makes my skin tingle and warm a bit. It’s critical you follow up this product with a cosmetic-grade sunscreen meant for use on faces before you start your day, because (like any retinoid) this product will increase your susceptibility to sunburns. I believe that a lot of negative experiences I’ve read in reviews for this product could have been avoided with sunscreen. It’s also natural that if you’ve never used retinoids before, you might experience worse irritation in the first few weeks, and then your skin adapts to the product.Beyond its clinical value, I think the cream provides a great experience as a facial product: it comes in a nice glass jar, has a pleasant and mild aroma, and it applies easily and evenly to your skin—initially leaving a glossy sheen that quickly dries to your natural skin tone after a couple minutes.

Let's face it, we all want to look younger for as long as we can. Do these products really work or are we spending a lot of money for little results?I am 75 years old and bought this cream because I started using Neutrogena facial cleanser from the time I was 12 years old. Back then, my Mom told me to never use soap on my face, so I never did. I like this cream simply because it moisturizes, absorbs quickly into my skin, and doesn't have a strong odor. I have tried creams that are so thick, they just sit on your face without being absorbed. This cream doesn't do that, and it does seem to moisturize my face. Other than that, I really don't expect any great rejuvenation of my skin.This cream does include retinol which can cause redness until your skin gets used to it, but I haven't had a problem with this. Retinol may help for as long as it is used, but the effects are not lasting. The hyaluronic acid may help with hydration, and can also help if retinol causes reddening of the skin.So, really, what does all of this mean and will this cream help you? Will it reduce or prevent wrinkles? If you have dry skin, this cream will likely help to prevent wrinkles, and many help to reduce the wrinkles you have that have been caused by dry skin. Will this cream magically make all your wrinkles disappear? Probably not. There is too much dependent on heredity, environment, lifestyle, and diet for any cream to overcome. No cream will compensate for heredity and what we do to our bodies, and no cream will undo damage done. I have included a picture of myself at 75 years of age and also on of my Mom when she was 99 years old. Yes, Mom had some wrinkles, but not so bad at her age and the only cream I used on her face was a moisturizer.What I am saying here is that the state of your skin condition is determined by multiple factors including hereditary tendencies, diet, and lifestyle. No cream can compensate for these factors.I hope this review was helpful for you.

I’m 80 female and this is a great product. Softens wrinkles making less visible and gets rid of dead skin cells

Very nice moisturizer. This moisturizer is a little on the heavy side which I like. It certainly is not too heavy but is just right in my opinion. It goes on easily and melts right in to your skin. A little goes a long way. I feel the price is right on point. I have used moisturizers that are real light but for me feels like the heavier moisturizer does more for your face, just a matter of preference I guess. It makes your skin soft and feels like your face is nicely hydrated. As far as wrinkles go there certainly is no change. In my mind to make wrinkles soften you need a medical grade serum which is very expensive, not sure I am allowed to voice my opinion on that. As far as neutrogena goes I would certainly recommend.
