The Best Retinol at the Drugstore | Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye and Face Creams

It's hard to recommend drugstore products since the market is so incredibly saturated - with both great things, and very mediocre things. One brand I have loved forever is Neutrogena, and more specifically their Rapid Wrinkle Repair line with Retinol SA. I recently saw an article shared online where Nicole Kidman sung its praises, and was inspired to share my experience too.



I first fell head-over-heels for Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream in 2016 and reviewed it here. It is no longer sold in the same format, but I believe this Regenerating Night Cream is the closest thing. I love it for its lightweight texture and nourishing feel on my combo skin. Neutrogena is one of the only drugstore brands to incorporate ingredients like retinol into their anti-aging products, and in a concentration that actually does something. I've repurchased it a few times, since my skin is always at its best when I'm consistently using this night cream. I know that Retinol *in small doses* is my friend. I also adore the under-eye cream, it will be a lifesaver in the winter too when I find my under-eye area get's its flakiest. Do you think I can get Joseph using these two magic potions as well? I'll report back.

RAPID WRINKLE REPAIR - Regenerating Cream $35

Clinically proven to improve the look of aging, this rich moisturizing cream delivers hyaluronic acid and the highest concentration of Accelerated Retinol SA deep into skin's surface quickly and effectively, to smooth the look of fine lines and instantly plump with moisture rich replenishers. Skin is left looking smoother and younger; deep wrinkles, even crow’s feet, forehead and cheek wrinkles are visibly faded. 100% of women had noticeable results in just one week.

RAPID WRINKLE REPAIR Moisturizer Eye $35

Clinically proven to help fade the look of stubborn deep wrinkles, including crow’s feet, brighten under eye area, smooth the look of fine lines and texture, reduce the look of dark circles. 100% of women had noticeable results in just 1 week!  

Make sure to always wear SPF during the day, but it's especially important when you're using a retinol product. These creams accelerate cell-turnover causing your skin to have less natural protection to the sun.
