I use the Rapid Wrinkle Repair with Retinol skin line on the daily and I absolutely love how light yet hydrating the regenerating cream feels on my skin plus... I can honestly say this cream along side the other Neutrogena skin care products in this line really do work at keeping my skin feeling and looking young and anti wrinkle free without leaving my skin feeling oily throughout the day! I would 100% buy this skin care line again and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys feeling great but also to the people who love looking fresh, young and hydrated all day and night long!

I used Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle repair regenerating cream atnight going to bed. My skin is super dry at the moment being winter so I foundthat this cream helped combat this. In regards to fines lines, I feel like theyhave slightly decreased within a couple of weeks, which is really great! I willfor sure buy again!

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair regenerating cream is a soft smooth cream that I used at night.   Over a cold and dry winter my skin has been really dry.  I tried to use this each night and I  about 10 days I felt my skin was noticeably more hydrated and smoother.   For the price of around $50 I think it is very affordable for its results.

I found this cream light weight and non greasy.  It rapidly absorbed into my skin and has a very pleasant fragrance.  My skin felt smoother and hydrated.  Used in conjunction with Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair retinol oil and together were a great combination which didn’t leave my skin overload but nourished.  One particular dark spot visibly reduced in colour after 1-2 weeks use.

I really like this product.   It goes on smooth,  doesn't have an overpowering fragrance,  and it really works.  It's more aggressive than other creams I have used...I definitely felt some heat after applying and I had some redness and a bit of patchy flaking in the beginning, but I saw results within a week. Will recommend to friends and purchase again.

I wanted to love it but it made my skin break out and become dry. It’s so important to do a test strip first. I could see how it would work for others though. Not the product for me, I need a moisture boost plus anti ageing miracle cream.

This does have a creamy feel, but it's not that effective on deep creases or dark spots.  It does have a slight chemical smell, although not too bad, and does work well as a moisturiser although slightly heavier than what I normally use.  Not sure it has the anti-aging effects claimed, overall. Not clear whether you should use it instead of/in conjunction with their oil.  Fairly expensive for what it is.

I found this regenerating cream rich but still very light to use on my skin, my skin felt very hydrated, I used this everyday as part of my skin routine and found my skin felt great, I  would use this product in the future as part of my usual beauty regime.

Absolutely amazing product, smells beautiful but not strong. I was surprised by how much you didn't have to use, the cream had a wonderful texture and there was immediate hydration. In the morning my skin was so soft and had a nice sheen to it I didn't want to put make up on. For daytime use my dry skin surprisingly stayed hydrated all day. After days of use my wrinkles looked softer and skin seemed more plump. After weeks of use, my skin had a more even texture and pigmentation had improved, I love this product and will continue to use day & night.

The Neutrogena regenerating cream along with the Neutrogena retinol oil, if used both daily, is quite strong and aggressive for my skin. After the first 3-4 days of trialling this product, unfortunately my skin recieved a burning reaction. I stopped using the product for about 5 days to let my skin heal. Then I started using the product again limiting to once every other day. My skin turned dry and flaky also, which for me lasted for about 4-5 days. I don’t  think it did a lot in improving my fine lines & wrinkles though but definitely once the dry/flaky skin phase is over my skin face felt/looked smoother, clearer and hydrated.

Loved this product. It worked and my skin never reacted badly like it does with other retinol products.  I will be buying this when I get to the end of it.  I have recommended it to friends already and have looked at the other items in the range. Well done

I really didn't expect much to happy with this product and my goodness, many of my over 50 brown spots have faded and my skin just loved this. (I have tried other products to fade my age spots and not been as successful) It tingled when I applied sometimes but not worrying so. I now know why people use creams like this and I might keep using this cream, it has been good with the drying winds and heating in Winter.

I've been using the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair regenerating cream, which is a rich, anti-ageing moisturiser. This contains retinol, which is meant to help prevent wrinkles, smoothing the skin while fading dark spots. There is also the inclusion of a glucose complex, which is supposed to help boost the power of the retinol. Hyaluronic acid is included in the cream as well, which helps with plumping out the skin. This comes in a opaque jar with a screw cap, making it easy to access the cream. The product itself is thick, and spreads over the skin easily, sinking into the skin within 5 minutes.I like that this doesn't lead to sticky, tacky skin. Instead, my skin feels softer. I like that my skin works well with this, and that signs of ageing are kept to a minimum. I will caution people who aren't used to retinol to actually ease into this, or your face might react to it. Make sure that you also use sunscreen too!

Patch testing Retinol products is a must for me, as I have autoimmune disorders, and can be very sensitive to sunlight, due to my medications. I was cautious, but given a month long wear test, can report that I am now in love with these products!  I can highly recommend them to menopausal women, or sensitive skin types, who may have responded poorly to retinol based products in the past.

I currently use a few products from the neutrogena line so I was excited to try this new cream.  First off it feels nice when applied and sunk into my skin pretty much straight away.  There wasn't an unpleasant smell either.  It was a bit on the heavy side so I only used it at night.  My skin appeared not greasy and clear in the mornings.  I can't really say Iv seen a huge difference in my skin as yet but it is a nice product to use so far.

Contained in an easy-to-use glass pot, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair regenerating cream is a beautiful thick moisturiser that provides great hydration. The cream has a gentle fresh fragrance. Using this cream day and night, in combination with the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair retinol oil at night, has left my skin smoother and firmer. The combination did at first make my skin a bit flakey in the first week of use, but this was the exfoliating action of the retinol, which has resulted in smooth skin for me. I have used this cream before and loved it, and its efficacy was enhanced by using the retinol oil at night. The cream also works really well under makeup, which is important for daily use. The quality glass packaging and silver colour, make this a stylish bathroom product. I definitely recommend this cream as a great daily moisturiser.

I used this product night and day for a number of weeks. It was effective and i did notice an improvement in my skin. However, i felt this was too strong to use day and night and ended up using a more natural product at night with oil. While my fine lines did improve i prefer the feeling of a richer more natural moisturizer

I have been Trialing Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream for a Month now. It promises 'visibly younger looking skin in just one week' on the box so I had high hopes. Did it deliver- YES! The fine lines on my face/cheeks and around my eyes definitely look smoother and the dark spots on my cheeks have definitely faded too with not much change to my forehead wrinkles. I am happy that this Product delivers on its promise of results 'in one week'. However, after using the Product for a Month I did not really see any further improvement but rather a maintaining of the initial results. I am happy with the Product over all and will continue to use it till I run out. I like the look of the packaging and its easy to get the cream out. The cream has a slight smell which I did not find offensive. It felt nice to apply and once absorbed my makeup went on as usual over the top. I recommend Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream to anyone with fine lines who is looking for a quick fix as the results were definitely 'in one week'. Will I purchase this Product? I'm going to see how my skin looks when I have finished the tub and decide then.

I have to admit I was a little sceptical about trying 'another' anti-wrinkle cream, but I am pleased to say that I absolutely love this product.  Used in conjunction with the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil and with a very good face cleansing routine, this product leaves my face feeling so soft, silky and moisturised and I cant get enough of it.  I actually look forward to my face routine each night now.  Highly recommend.

I enjoyed using the combination of a rapid repair serum and cream. They compliment each other and I saw the benefits in a definite improvement in my complexion. Application of the cream was easy, it was readily absorbed into the skin.  The cream was in a silver screw top glass jar, I prefer glass to plastic as I feel it is a better form of storage and gives a quality look to the product. After using the cream and serum for approximately four weeks I noticed my skin was soft and radiant and skin tone more even. Sun spots and discolouration were less noticeable. My skin was brighter and more radiant. Initially as my skin was adjusting to the products I experienced some dryness and a tingling sensation on application.  It felt like there was an exfoliation process happening. After four weeks my skin had adjusted to the product, but I reduced application to once a day as I felt that this was sufficient, as my skin felt like it needed more moisture. My skin needed a lift, it was dull and sun damaged. These products rejuvenated my skin and gave it a glow while also evening out pigmentations. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has tired, dull or ageing skin. I felt like the top surface of my skin had been removed to expose a new fresh layer of skin. I would definitely consider purchasing this product, it’s a great pick me up and intensive treatment to refresh And even out skin tone.
