Effective
I got Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair to try for free from Chick Advisor. It's supposed to be unscented but it has a bit of a smell, as everything does, but it goes away quickly. It is very thick and goes on smooth with no greasy feel. I was a little concerned when my face started to get what appeared to be dry flaky patches but that was just the retinol accelerating skin turnover, it cleared up quickly and my skin now looks brighter and plumper with less noticeable wrinkles around my eyes. A definite winner!
My Skin is Fresh and Renewed
I experienced the “warm tingling sensation” which I would describe as “mild burning.” It was quite hot and mildly uncomfortable but only lasted a few minutes. I didn’t experience this with every use I think it was during the “while your skin adjusts” phase. During that phase I also experienced the flaking and exfoliation, luckily I have my Neutrogena Prep Cleanser to get off all the dead skin exfoliation. (I fell in love with the Prep Cleanser doing a previous review for Neutrogena. Guys, its so affordable ($13 CAD) and SO GOOD!)
So, what about the results? Well, I am fortunate to no require too much anti-ageing progress. After using this cream my skin is fresh and renewed. I was really shocked with the exfoliation, as I had just completed another review that had also caused a pretty intense exfoliation. I wonder if that is why I like this cream so much. I’m not sure if this is because of the timing or if it is the cream. I’ll keep using it and see how my skin evolves, hopefully it is the cream – in which case we will be life long friends.
Made my skin glow
I tested this out for three weeks, and found it had a nice effect on my skin but it took some time to get there. Within a few days it made my skin feel a bit like I had a very mild sunburn, and within the first week I had a few dry, flaky patches of skin on my cheeks. By the second week my skin was feeling softer and had a nice glow. But I don't see any noticeable difference in my pre-existing wrinkles and creases. Then again, I don't believe any topical cream other than Retin-A can have a dramatic effect in such a short span of time. I did like how it made my skin look and feel in the end though, so I would continue using it now that my skin is used to it. Also, despite being labeled as fragrance free, it does have a mild scent, but it's not perfumey, which I appreciate.
Rapid Wrinkle Repair Rocks!
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair with Accelerated Retinol SA is a great product. Because of the retinol often being touted as making one a bit more sun sensitive, I use this product at night, as I'm a bit negligent when it comes to daily sunscreen. I think my skin is already smoother after using this product for several weeks. I like the smooth texture and the scent is very mild, which is important to me. I hope to notice a much larger difference in my fine lines and skin texture as I continue to use this cream.
I thought this was a good cream. I tested this product on myself (20s) and my mother (50s) to see the different on different ages. Being a wrinkle cream I would recommend it more for older woman, but overall it was a good cream. Personally I need something more moisturizing so I will not be continuing to use this product but my mother will be as she enjoys this cream a lot.
NEUTROGENA RAPID WRINKLE REPAIR - FRAGRANCE FREE
What I have enjoy the most about this product is how the cream is a bit thicker and very moisturizing. It absorbs quickly and without leaving my face feeling greasy or sticky. After using this product for 2 weeks, I can say that my skin felt, slightly softer. After a month, I can see a little improvement in the firmness of my skin, but not as much as my previous product. I used it at night, in place of my evening moisturizer, to give my skin time to soak everything in without having to cover it up with make-up.
When combined with other products, this one worked well. On it's own, this didn't work as well as I would of liked.
A good moisturizer
I liked this moisturizer but didn't love it. My skin is somewhat acne prone and after using for a few days I broke out a little. It has a nice creamy texture and did make my face feel soft. It's worth the price. I didn't notice any visible signs of less wrinkles though.
Results were visible in just 6 days!
Neutrogena is a name I trust. I used there dual as a teen but as my needs have changed as I have aged I was very excited to try Neutrogena Rapid wrinkle repair.
I am skeptical of rapid anything results. But WOW! Within just 6 days of applying this cream fine lines in my forehead around my mouth and around my eyes diminished!! The texture is light and cloud like. It absorbs into the skin well and doesn't leave a heavy or oily feeling.
The cream itself is virtually scent free. The jar is easy to open and packaging was attractive. After I had used the cream for just over 2weeks my boyfriend asked if I had changed my makeup! Nope! But this cream will be my normal routine now. A little of it goes a long way and even after using it for a month twice a day I have almost a months supply left by the looks of it! Great product would reccomend to anyone with fine lines they want to rid of!
Impressionnée par le confort de cette crème
Au premier abord, cette crème m'a semblé un peu légère, mais dès que je l'ai appliquée, j'ai compris que ce n'était pas le cas. Elle est très hydratante, super confortable, et contrairement à d'autres crèmes, je n'ai pas l'impression que j'aurais besoin d'en remettre chaque deux heures. Agréablement surprise par cette crème.
Yes and No
I liked this cream, but I would not recommend it to anone with sensitive skin.The retinol is an obvious ingredient here, and can cause redness. DO NOT get your eyebrows waxed while using this cream. I learned the hard way.
Scent free is great.
