This is Great!

I was really surprised at this cream. I've tried others and not had much noticeable difference but one really showed up to work. It leaves my skin feeling great and not greasy at all, even under makeup. Fine lines did seem to be reduced around my eyes and my skin felt softer and more firm.
#gotitfree Still love it!

Great at moisturizing!

First let me tell you about my skin. It is sun damaged from years of a beautiful tan and is showing signs of aging around the eyes. My skin is quite dry this time of year as well. I am looking for a moisturizer that will help reduce the look of fine wrinkles, brighten my skin and moisturize without causing skin irritability. I also want a product that is easy to find and not too expensive.

I tried the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream. This cream met almost all my criteria. My first impression when I first applied the cream was that I loved the scent and the nice dewy texture. It went on smooth and absorbed into my skin quickly. I followed the instructions and used it twice a day. This only lasted a few days as my skin started to redden and was irritated in spots. I stopped using it for a couple days and then reintroduced it, but only once a day. This was perfect for my skin.

Once I got my skin used to the product, I used it for six weeks so that I could give it a proper review period. I can now tell you that my skin is not dehydrated any more, it is brighter, and my wrinkles are less visible. I don't know if it would erase deep wrinkles, but for fine lines and wrinkles it works great!

I would definitely recommend Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Reducer to anyone starting to show signs of aging. I would caution those with sensitive skin to start slowly and see how your skin reacts with this cream.

It was good, but not great.

So I'm a bit of a skincare junkie. I love to try new stuff. And I'm not new to retinol products. I do use a regular retinol night cream. I normally don't use it during the day, I was under the impression it was best used at my nighttime routine.

So I used this for the recommended 3 weeks, that they requested. Day and night as directed. I will admit, I love a product that is a day AND a night cream, only having to add SPF during the day time. Great price point for a product that is all in one in a jar. What was disappointed in, was the texture was silky smooth before application. And then when applied, it left me skin tacky. It never seemed to fully absorb, no matter the amount I used. Then my foundation and makeup primer would pill, because it would just sit a little bit on my skin.

Would I buy it, maybe in a pinch but if I have an option of this or an alternate product procedure the same; I'll get the alternative.

NOTE: When using retinol, always wear a SPF. The reason is the retinol is an chemical that makes your skin more susceptible to sun damage without sunscreen. But the sole purpose is to be an anti-aging product. So the two would completely cancel each other out.

Great Moisturizer

This is the perfect moisturizer for me for the transition between winter and spring as it has a medium consistency. It does contain retinol which is supposed to help reduce wrinkles. I only have a few lines on my forehead and some crows feet when I smile and I think there has a been a bit of a reduction in the lines. Overall really enjoying this moisturizer.

Love this cream

I have been using it since I received it.
I absolutely love the smell of it and the light, creamy texture.
Made my skin feel soft and saw a difference in the wrinkles, especially around the eye area.
Definitely high quality and will be picking up more for sure.

Great product for great price

To start, my first time trying it I was very impressed with the almost whipped/creamy appearance of the it. I put a generous amount on my face to test if it would leave my face very oily (as so many other brands do when applying too much) but my skin sucked it up so quickly that I was amazed. It absorbs extremely quickly and leaves my skin feeling nice, soft and moisturized. I feel I cannot comment on the rapid repairing wrinkles aspect as I do not feel I have had a chance to use it for long enough to notice a difference. However, this cream is definitely rejuvenating from the second you start applying it. So far I’m truly enjoying the cream and once done the jar would definitely consider purchasing again.

Loved this - Never too early!

I have tried my fair share of wrinkle repair products and this one holds up quite well!

What I enjoy most with this product is how this cream is quite think and moisturizing without leaving my face feeling oily or sticky. After using this product for 1 month, I can very honestly say that my skin feels firmer and now a very important part of my daily routine. I prefer using it at night, as I feel like it gives my skin time to soak everything in without going against the elements. love it so much!

I love this product

I have tried a lot of products on this site but this one is hands down my favorite. I am really picky when it comes to face creams and usually spend a lot of money on them. Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair hydrated my skin did not feel oily and didn’t irritate my skin. I waited a bit longer to review this product because I wanted to give it at least 30 days. I have definitely noticed a difference around my eyes and the corners of my mouth. My skin seems firmer. This is now part of my daily routine... I use it twice a day, it is a reasonable price and works well. If I had any complaint it would only be that the smell is a little too strong for me.

Good as new skin

I would like to start with a little background on the product. It has a really potent form of retin in it called accelerated retinol SA, hyaluronic acid, myrtle leaf extract and vitamin C


Week 1: The instructions on the box specified that the product was to be used twice a day for best results. However, with my background in skincare, I was well aware that my skin needed to be conditioned to such a potent retinol product so I began to use it once a day, at nightime. By the end of week 1, I noticed a glow in my complexion and my skin felt smoother and softer. I also used a high SPF sunscreen every day as is required when one uses a retinol product.


Week 2: I increased my usage frequency to every night. My skin felt really smooth, textured and rejuvenated.


Week 3: Here is where the twist comes in my tale. I was confident that my skin was truly conditioned to the product by now. So, as specified on the package instructions, I began to use the product twice a day, daily. However, after about two days I noticed some skin flaking and increased tingling whilst applying the cream. Again, the packaging did state that this was a possibility, so I kept using the cream as instructed and was quite optimistic that the flaking skin would reveal fresh baby smooth skin underneath. To my dismay , however, when the flaking began to clear, the skin underneath was hyper pigmented and felt raw. I instantly stopped using the cream and from the next day began to use a repairing balm and brightening cream in my skincare routine ( more on these products in a future post!)

Week 4: Once my skin healed I did revert back to using the cream, but only at nightime, as I did like the results it had given me in the first 2 weeks. Touchwood! So far, the results are once again favourable!!

Mixed Feelings, Zero Results

I was excited to try Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream, as I'm noticing a bit more fine lines than I'd like.The full sized jar has lasted me a month of twice daily application (AM/PM), with about half remaining.

The good. I enjoy the fresh floral scent and overall luxurious, thick texture of this regenerating cream, which leaves my dry skin feeling very hydrated. It absorbs well, although I find more than a pea sized dollop is needed for full coverage of my face and neck.

The strange. While I haven't experienced any redness or tingling sensations, my skin has definitely flaked from the get go. This is a first for me - I have never experienced a similar reaction with skincare products before. However, it's listed as a known effect on the container and didn't concern me too much.

The results. Unfortunately, there isn't any diminished appearance in my fine lines, or a rapid reduction in wrinkles seen in just 1 week, as promoted to consumers, from Neutrogena's accelerated Retinol SA formula (Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol SA & Glucose Complex). My pigmentation, skintone and texture remain unchanged.

It's a disappointment to share my poor results after a full month's usage, even with very modest expectations. There simply aren't any significant changes in my skin from a regenerating product which claims to clinically "improve the look of aging up to 5X more than a leading prestige anti-aging serum."

Wait, what?! You can't compare a cream to a serum. They're quite different from one another, even if the ingredients are similar. Plus, Neutrogena actually has a Rapid Repair Serum.

In all fairness to Neutrogena, their website specifically recommends following a 3-step application process: twice daily after cleansing face and neck, apply Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum and Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream, followed by Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream. Furthermore, there's also a Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer.

The verdict. If Neutrogena truly wanted consumers to test the efficacy of their Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream, they might have included additional products from the Rapid Repair line to help assess an accurate impact of the accelerated Retinol SA formula. As a product tester, it's unusual to be given only one for review, when recommended usage is part of a multitiered application of related products.

Sorry, Neutrogena... I'm not a fan of your Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream. It failed to deliver as promised.
