Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Cream Fragrance-Free, 1.7 oz

This is my third jar, and I keep coming back to it. With consistent use, I’ve noticed my skin feels smoother, my fine lines look softer, and my complexion looks more refreshed. I know retinol takes time to work, but this one has definitely made a difference for me. Great quality for the price, and I’ll definitely repurchase again!

If you use this on a regular basis it will definitely keep your skin feeling softer and more moist. This container will last a very long time so even though it's expensive you only need a little bit each day so I feel like it's worth it. Definitely recommended!

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.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream with Retinol I began in February 2021. It’s Sept. 2021 & it shows its full affect on my face. I wish I did a before picture but I never truly feel a facial product will work as great as this cream did on my face. The wrinkles in particular my forehead have literally diminished. They were very noticeable. As you see in my picture I can barely notice anything there. Aside from the deep “11’s” which began to form in my 30’s this cream has worked wonders on my forehead. I also had noticeable wrinkles setting in around the corners of my eyes & at the edges of my mouth. With consistent nightly use this rapid repair has changed the appearance of my skin. I use this in conjunction with Netrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser which I feel was a vital component to prepping my skin for this cream. I always use Cerave Miceller Water first to cleanse my face of any makeup as well as the dirt, oil & grim of the day. This jar easily lasts me 2 months as does the cleanser which worth the price I pay. I use it alone in my nightly regime. I small dab goes a long way to cover my entire face & neck. My face feels very moisturized after using & I go to bed feeling refreshed. There is a small, not over powering scent to it. This is a staple in my nightly skin regime & I’ll continue to use it as I feel the benefits are worth it. It does have retinol in it so if your face is new to this ingredient I’d apply slowly to your face. I’ve used retinol for a long time for acne I once had & to control my oily skin so I had no adverse reactions. Their claim of noticeable wrinkle reduction in 10 days I feel really isn’t the case. It takes time, dedication & patience to achieve what you see on my face. Amazon’s price is unbeatable & with taking advantage of the subscribe & save program you save a little more & order at your convenience. I’m sold on this jar of wrinkle cream & I highly recommend it. I’m 51yo & my skin has never looked so young, well prior to the age factor showing its signs. If you’re ready to invest the time into a product you’ve found it here. I highly recommend it & feel it will not disappoint.

This is a really good product. It has quite a bit of retinol in it and is good for the price. Retinol is quite expensive. I didn’t notice improvement in my wrinkles with this.

I loved it; it is a wonderful product, and Amazon is the best company.

I like the cream as far as texture and application. Not oily or tacky instantly. Not sure after months of use if it actually gave results like suggested. I may end up trying something else or going back to L"Oreal. I'm starting to believe you need to hit a product that works for your skin, and not just so you don't break out. I mean reduction of wrinkles, improving of skin tone, etc. Spending a lot of money isn't always good even if you have it, but I do think you need to up the ante in some cases.

I have been reading all the negative comments about this product, and I just want to say stop whining! This product is one of the best OTC (Over the Counter) Retinol products available! Yes, it stings, it burns, it makes you peel - but that is what it is all about, skin cell regeneration, stops the breakdown of skin collagen after sun exposure, improves the top layer of the epidermis to improve the appearance of crepey skin. Yes, ugly crepey skin - you will eventually get there in your 50's/60's. Anyway, get over the peeling, redness, etc. - that is how it works! My secret is after you have applied wait a little bit (half an hour or so) and then apply CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. Make sure it is a formulation that does not include Retinol, but one that includes Hyaluronic Acid is fine. Apply as often as you want after, it won't hurt. Anyway, this will minimize the retinol downside and still let your epidermis do what it needs to when using a Retinol Product. I will be 59 in January - no crows feet, minimal wrinkles.... And always moisturize before you go to sleep :-)

It is unacceptable that this product arrived without an ingredient label or packaging, especially considering that this particular cream can have very harmful effects if used incorrectly. This is a violation of EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

Esta crema me encanta. La uso por las noches y me ha mejorado muchísimo la textura de la piel y favorece mucho la desaparición de las marcas de acné y disminución de los brotes y cambio de coloración. Es la tercera vez que la compro y la verdad es que sí he notado una mejoría en mi piel. Cabe aclarar que tengo acné hormonal combinado con líneas de expresión, y toda esta línea me ha ayudado mucho a que se vea más pareja la textura de la piel con el uso constante. Para el precio es bastante decente y sobre todo se nota que tiene Retinol porque sí hay algo de descamación. Yo no tengo necesariamente ese problema pero me imagino que con gente con piel más sensible hay que usarla con cuidado, tal vez alternar días...

Works well

Smooth

Face very dry and skin softer after using this product
