Not for me
I received the Prep Cleanser free for trial. I used it in conjuction with the Retinol OIl. I started using it twice a day but then after three days changed it to once a day. The wash was nice and creamy with micro beads to help exfoliate. My skin felt nice and did not have a tight feel after using it but can't really say that it was effective as an exfoliator as I did have to deal with breakouts and increased blackheads. This really did not work for me and is not something I would buy.
Decent Enough Cleanser
I recently had the opportunity to try the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser. This is a decent cleanser containing non plastic microbeads for gentle exfoliation. It did leave my face feeling clean & Fresh and after using for a week I would say my skin was softer and smoother. I was disappointed that it contain fragrance however, as this can be irritating in a skincare product and is completely unnecessary. I also felt that I had to take extra care in rinsing as it seemed to leave a bit of a film on my face. Having said that, once it was rinsed, my skin felt good.
My greatest disappointment in this brand is the fact that although they claim to be cruelty free and likely technically are in North America, they do fund animal testing on their products in China as it is a requirement to sell there. This discourages me from using their products as there are many companies out there with products that are equally good that do not sell in China or do animal testing.
My overall impression is that this is a decent cleanser that does what it is intended to do. Removing the fragrance would make it even better in my books.
Meh?
As a cleanser this is decent enough. It gets the job done. But my skin is on the dryier side and I found this cleanser dehydrated my skin to the point where my face felt tight and uncomfortable. I think I will stick to my Cereve Hydrating cleanser.
It's okay I think.
I tried it, it's hard to tell if it worked or not. I have very few wrinkles, I did not notice anything different about my appearance. Wish I could have noticed.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser
I received the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle RepairPrep Cleanser free from ChickAdvisor. I have been using the cleanser for 2 weeks now and I have to say I don't really like it. Although it doesn't have a strong smell, and the texture is nice I find it very greasy and I haven't seen any results. I will use the rest of the bottle and see if I get any results. #IGotItFree
I gave it the old college try
I was chosen to try this product free through chickadvisor. I really wanted to like this. I love neutropenia products normally. I’m about to be 34, recently had a baby and my face has aged rapidly. I tried this in conjunction with the retinol oil as directed (2 times per day) for a week. Within a few days my skin dried and became red and scaly. I don’t really have sensitive skin. I dropped down to once per day but my skin hated this.
This wash also left a greasy film so I felt that my face wasn’t getting clean even though there’s exfoliation properties. It felt like it never really rinsed off.
The only plus side is it smelled really nice.
Honestly I don’t know if it works because I had to stop using it.
Contradictory directions for use
This "prep" cleanser (what does that even mean? This is the only cleanser in this line) has contradictory directions for use against the Retinal Oil product:
This cleanser says afterward to use Moisturizer and then Retinal Oil. The retinal oil says to use the oil BEFORE the moisturizer.
So which is correct?
Update 0 STARS!
I tried this together with the retinol oil, putting the oil before my regular moisturizer, and man does it STINK. The chemicals in these honest to god made my lungs dry and hurt a bit when I inhaled. I tossed these immediately instead of trying to pawn of the pain on someone else. I'll stick with shea butter for now.
Good Cleanser
I was so excited to received this freebies. So far I have used it twice a day for a week and here's my thought. First of all I love the smell, very fresh and light. The tiny beads does the work to get rid of the dirt and help exfoliate my skin. My face feel moist and soft after. So I think it's a good cleanser.
Too Harsh
This cleanser had very harsh exfoliate beads. This cleanser scratched my face enough to draw blood a few times. The scent was not the greatest like a musty soapy scent. Also the packaging was bland just a greyish and boring bottle. #gotitforfree
Meh..I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it
This is a bit confusing but stay with me here..I love this product in that it has just the perfect amount of grittiness to be an effective exfoliate for mature skin. However, I did not see any visible differences in the texture of my skin and the fine wrinkles and therefore I cannot recommend this product to my friends. I was sure that I was going to be thrilled with this product by day after day I looked in the mirror each morning and still saw the fine lines and wrinkles exactly as they were before.
