First Week after using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream
The Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair review of the first week was somewhat smooth as compared to other creams. My skin quickly adapted to the texture of the cream, as it was slightly thicker than a serum. But it’s actually a light lotion hence my skin got silky immediately. Nevertheless, some people experienced mild tingling and redness, especially with the pale skin tone but this vanishes after three to four days. However, the irritation and redness in the initial days are a sign that the cream is doing its job therefore, it’s a positive sign.
During the sixth and seventh day, I could notice my wrinkles were mitigating and I was even getting compliments from my friends. This proves the word “rapid” in the name Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream is true. The skin of those who were facing redness in the skin usually adapts on the 6 days and no more redness occurs.
What about Ingredients?
Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream is known for Retinol SA as its prime ingredient. Retinol is vitamin A derivatives that help to keep our pores clean, prevent acne, increase collagen production in the skin, and acts as an anti-aging product.
However, some more ingredients also make it an amazing moisturizer and skin vitalizer. It has glycerine and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, two classic humectants to retain moisture of the skin. It also has a glucose complex to enhance retinol performance and dimethicone to seal moisture and other products.
Long Term Results
After using it for a couple of months I started noticing my skin getting smoother, radiant, and even my wrinkles disappearing (excluding the deeper ones). In the second month, I had garnered enough trust in this cream to order the Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair day cream as well. The day cream comes with SPF 30 thereby preventing sunlight to deactivate the retinol in the cream as retinol gets affected by sunlight.
I also noticed that one pump of cream is enough for a day because, it’s intense, and overusing it will only cause chagrin to the skin rather than amplifying its effects. By applying a pump of the cream daily the bottle lasts for nearly eight weeks which is very pocket-friendly for me as it comes just for 20$.
