Neutrogena has been manufacturing and selling skin care products for many years many of which claim the fight the visible signs of aging. The Neutrogena brand is known world wide and has gained quite a cult following in recent years. The products are affordable for most people and are available for purchase online and at many retail locations. However Neutrogena seems to lack the powerful advanced ingredients which many anti-aging have. Therefore the promise that the products will decrease lines and wrinkles and firm aging skin may be just a dream. Let’s take a closer look at one of Neutrogena’s more popular anti-aging products, Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum to see what all the hype is about and if it is worth giving it a try.

Product Details

Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum was voted as InStyle Magazine’s “Best Beauty Deals” in 2006. The serum promises to moisturize and plum the skin while helping to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. The formula is intended to work as an intensive treatment working through concentrated amounts of Retinol and Anti-Oxidants in the way of Multi-Vitamins. Neutrogena says that it absorbs into the skin to fill in and smooth wrinkles and lines so that they are less noticeable. Users are expected to experience visible results in 4 weeks of regular continuous use. Other products which compliment the serum are Neutrogena Eye Cream and Night Cream. According to the package the only anti-aging ingredient listed is Retinol. The other ingredients are mainly fillers. Retinol is used is many skin care formulas and supposedly is the purest form available of Vitamin A and acts as an exfoliant. Retinol may cause redness, itchiness, flakiness and a burning sensation on sensitive skin.

The Good

  • Neutrogena is a widely known and respected name in the beauty industry.
  • Neutrogena offers a wide range of products which are intended for anti-aging of the skin.

The Bad

  • The only active ingredient in the serum is Retinol.
  • Retinol can cause unwanted side effects in sensitive skin.
  • There are no advanced ingredients in the formula.

The Bottom Line

For individuals who generally shop for anti-aging products at their local drug store or grocery, Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Serum may be a viable option. The product is reasonably priced and accessible; however it is unlikely that it will produce any dramatic changes to the skin. The serum simply lacks the advanced ingredients needed today to have an effect on fine lines and wrinkles. Ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Argireline and Matrixyl 3000 have shown to produce dramatic results compared to mediocre ingredients like Retinol. If Neutrogena wants to compete with the “big boys” of anti-aging potions, they may want to consider revamping their products to a more potent version of what they currently offer. Consumers will likely continue to purchase Neutrogena products due to their huge advertizing campaign. Although the commercials seem to be quite convincing, unfortunately the ingredients and the results speak for themselves.

** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Nue Science Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science

Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection. No other formula that we've seen takes such a holistic approach to skin care. Matrixyl 3000 is a clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptide, while Uniprotect-PT-3 is one of the most advanced sun protectors currently on the market. User testimonials on how a formula works says it all, and the Nue Science website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, and the testimonials and the clinical studies posted on the official site, it's easy to see why Nue Science is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Nue Science Go



Hydrolyze Bottle

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze

Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze Go

    Used Neutrogena Rapid wrinkle repair for 2 days on my face, 1 day later rash & swelling, 5 days later skin’s still bad. If this stuff’s ’sposed to be good for my skin I think I’ll stick with the wrinkles.
