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.

Très déçue

Je testé ce produit et j’ai été très déçue du produit. Il laisse un film sur la peau qui est plutôt désagréable. Je n’achèterai pas ce produit.

Not worth the hype

I was excited to try this wrinkle cream as I'm getting older and like many, lines are appearing however I was disappointed. You have to use it morning and night, which means a jar isn't pasting long...I didn't notice any difference at all to be honest. The cream is nice, with no overpowering fragrance but as far as wrinkle cream, I have to give a thumbs down.

Use sparingly

Cream is rich and pleasantly scented. However I would not recommend for dry skin because anything more than a small amount led to redness and dry patches by day 5 for me. Overall no other noticeable effect. At least it expires next month so I don't feel bad for not using all of it. The size of the jar could have lasted a couple of years.

undecided

I love the consistency and ease of use of this product. It feels great going on, however it leaves my skin feeling itchy all day. Not sure if this is a sign of the product working on repairing wrinkles but under the present covid-19 situation, I am forced to stop using this product since I can't stop wanting to scratch my face.

Buyer beware! Be very careful if you have sensitive skin. It burnt my face, eyes & neck leaving painful burns & scaring. Would not recommend these products to anyone with sensitive skin.
