WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains retinol.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol.

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: retinol.

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

Let's face it, we all want to look younger for as long as we can. Do these products really work or are we spending a lot of money for little results?

I am 75 years old and bought this cream because I started using Neutrogena facial cleanser from the time I was 12 years old. Back then, my Mom told me to never use soap on my face, so I never did. I like this cream simply because it moisturizes, absorbs quickly into my skin, and doesn't have a strong odor. I have tried creams that are so thick, they just sit on your face without being absorbed. This cream doesn't do that, and it does seem to moisturize my face. Other than that, I really don't expect any great rejuvenation of my skin.

This cream does include retinol which can cause redness until your skin gets used to it, but I haven't had a problem with this. Retinol may help for as long as it is used, but the effects are not lasting. The hyaluronic acid may help with hydration, and can also help if retinol causes reddening of the skin.

So, really, what does all of this mean and will this cream help you? Will it reduce or prevent wrinkles? If you have dry skin, this cream will likely help to prevent wrinkles, and many help to reduce the wrinkles you have that have been caused by dry skin. Will this cream magically make all your wrinkles disappear? Probably not. There is too much dependent on heredity, environment, lifestyle, and diet for any cream to overcome. No cream will compensate for heredity and what we do to our bodies, and no cream will undo damage done. I have included a picture of myself at 75 years of age and also on of my Mom when she was 99 years old. Yes, Mom had some wrinkles, but not so bad at her age and the only cream I used on her face was a moisturizer.

What I am saying here is that the state of your skin condition is determined by multiple factors including hereditary tendencies, diet, and lifestyle. No cream can compensate for these factors.

I hope this review was helpful for you.

Great texture. Subtle scent that all hydro boost products have which I actually like. I’m oily. It’s slightly moisturizing. But I use an additional moisturizer on top. Love for my neck and chest. Biggest annoyance is that you have no idea how much retinol is in the product.

I started using Neutrogena in HS. People still think I am younger. This product is great for more mature skin that needs deeper moisturizing.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream with Retinol I began in February 2021. It’s Sept. 2021 & it shows its full affect on my face. I wish I did a before picture but I never truly feel a facial product will work as great as this cream did on my face. The wrinkles in particular my forehead have literally diminished. They were very noticeable. As you see in my picture I can barely notice anything there. Aside from the deep “11’s” which began to form in my 30’s this cream has worked wonders on my forehead. I also had noticeable wrinkles setting in around the corners of my eyes & at the edges of my mouth. With consistent nightly use this rapid repair has changed the appearance of my skin. I use this in conjunction with Netrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser which I feel was a vital component to prepping my skin for this cream. I always use Cerave Miceller Water first to cleanse my face of any makeup as well as the dirt, oil & grim of the day. This jar easily lasts me 2 months as does the cleanser which worth the price I pay. I use it alone in my nightly regime. I small dab goes a long way to cover my entire face & neck. My face feels very moisturized after using & I go to bed feeling refreshed. There is a small, not over powering scent to it. This is a staple in my nightly skin regime & I’ll continue to use it as I feel the benefits are worth it. It does have retinol in it so if your face is new to this ingredient I’d apply slowly to your face. I’ve used retinol for a long time for acne I once had & to control my oily skin so I had no adverse reactions. Their claim of noticeable wrinkle reduction in 10 days I feel really isn’t the case. It takes time, dedication & patience to achieve what you see on my face. Amazon’s price is unbeatable & with taking advantage of the subscribe & save program you save a little more & order at your convenience. I’m sold on this jar of wrinkle cream & I highly recommend it. I’m 51yo & my skin has never looked so young, well prior to the age factor showing its signs. If you’re ready to invest the time into a product you’ve found it here. I highly recommend it & feel it will not disappoint.

This is ADVERTISED as a "rapid wrinkle repair retinol regenerating anti aging" product. Lets answer to THAT shall we?

I take amazing care of my face/skin-every morning, every night, 0 exceptions since I was near 13 years old. Sensitive skin, this product will (and did) cause break out from being too heavy/oily. The scent is fine, though NOT what you'd want to buy a spendy face cream for. As to the wrinkes??? 0 DIFFERENCE at all! NOT a softening on the look even. It is simply a good "moisturizer." My skin was "softer" though still had all of the same looking wrinkles.
