Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer in a glance

Ah Neutrogena.  I have at least one of their product line in my bathroom.  In fact I’ve used their toner for years and years.  It’s my favorite.  Their products are gentle, non-irritating and great for sensitive and acne-prone skin like mine. 

But how do their anti-wrinkle products rate?

With the “Rapid Wrinkle Repair” line Neutrogena has gone for a clinical look–silver, no-nonsense bottles–very serious and scientific. 

Of course a bottle does not an effective skin care product make. 

Let’s look at Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer and see if you should give it a second look as you’re trolling the health and beauty aisle of your local supermarket…

What is Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer?

It is a moisturizer you apply for daytime that contains an SPF of 30.  It is formulated to repair free radical damage from sun, diet, toxins and pollution, and provide increased collagen and elastin production so your skin is plump and fuller-looking.  (This is one time ‘plump’ is a good thing.)

It is part of a line including Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer for Night, and Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream.

How does Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer work?

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer works using the following ingredients:

• Retinol SA-Retinol is a top-rated, clinically proven form of vitamin A that sinks below the surface of the skin to repair free radical damage, smooth wrinkles, even skin tone and improve collagen and elastin production. Retinol “SA” is formulated by Neutrogena to give sustainable “all day”results.  (I don’t know if I buy this.)
• Glucose Complex-boosts the “Retinol SA” effectiveness for more rapid results.  (Again, not buying.)
• Hyaluronic Acid-another top-rated, clinically proven skin care ingredient proven to plump-up and firm sagging skin (filling in damage between tissue), improve collagen production and increase elasticity. 

So you’ve got two clinically proven ingredients here–retinol and Hyaluronic acid.  My question is–are you getting enough of them?  Good ingredients–but a lack of effective dose–could be the reason why most people feel some effects (mainly softer skin) but little in the way of anti-aging results.

See what customers are saying about Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer 

“I have used this product for 3 weeks with no real change except my skin felt softer. It’s also a bit to greasy for me. I only have a few wrinkles around my lips, They are still the same. Maybe I`ll try another Neutrogena product, but right now I vote against it.”

“I’ve used this product as well as the night moisturizer for about a month. Yes, the wrinkles and fine lines seem less noticeable. But, the big difference is in the overall condition of my skin. The tone is much improved, pores are smaller, breakouts clear up quickly, and the surface is much smoother. Age spots are also fading. I’m 59 and my skin looks better than it has in years. It has SPF30, but still avoid the sun when using this product.”

“I’ve used this product faithfully for 2 wks. I’m 63 and I haven’t noticed any change in wrinkles at all. Skin may feel softer but that’s it. I will finish the bottle. If no results by then, I’ll consider the $22 wasted and will not buy again.”

“I like the clean scent, but other than that I have seen no benefit after two weeks. Neutrogena Clinical is a much better product for me and I will go back to it as soon as I can get back to the store. This was a disappointment.”

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer Cons

Should you buy Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer?

For anti-aging (which is the whole point), probably not.  If you simply want softer skin, maybe.  There are two excellent ingredients in this product, but based on testimonials I’d say you’re probably not getting an effective dose of them. 

It’s inexpensive with a money-back guarantee but honestly, I’d say try something with more than two clinically proven ingredients, and lots of positive consumer testimonials to back it.

Something that is more than a scientific-looking bottle…
