Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer With Sunscreen SPF 30 Review : Today I’m going to review a product that has been in my wishlist for so many years. This is Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer With Sunscreen SPF 30. It is a moisturizer combined with sunscreen, hence, you don’t need a separate sunscreen with it. Moisturizer is formulated with retinol SA, Glucose Complex, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, as sunscreen it has 2% avobenzone, 4% homosalate, 4% octisalate and 2% octocrylene as active ingredients.
Price: INR 1250 for 29ml

It has a pleasant floral smell which is mild and does not irritate the sensitive nose.
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer With Sunscreen SPF 30 Review And My Experience
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer has a medium consistency like lotion that spreads easily and gets absorbed instantly. The lotion does not leave any greasy, sticky or oily residue but upon application, it gives a temporary irritation/ burning sensation. Although, it does not cause any irritation or burn to my (normal) skin. But I had experienced skin redness due to this moisturizer in the past when I applied it over damaged skin. I wasn’t aware that my skin is damaged. However, after having redness, I wash off immediately.
I started re-using after my skin gets completely healed, and it doesn’t give redness this time. Moisturizer settles into an invisible finish leaving a velvety soft feel. Moreover, the moisturizer is hydrating enough for oily/combination skin but not for dry skin. My skin type is normal-dry and I always use Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion beneath to get enough moisture. When I use it without moisturizer, my skin becomes stretchy through the mid-day.
I have been using this moisturizer for one and a half months now. Including this moisturizer in my everyday skincare routine makes my skin smoother, tightens pores and improves skin’s texture too. I’m happy with the results. But due to the presence of retinol, this can irritate the skin if used in combination with AHA/BHA, vitamin C or any other exfoliating ingredients. In my opinion, this anti-aging day cream with broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen will work well for someone who doesn’t use so many skincare actives and stays indoors.
I only use it indoors even though it has SPF 30 because I live in a hot climate that can certainly cause some redness issues.
Overall, Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer With Sunscreen SPF 30 is a really good anti-aging day cream that can be used indoors only. Additionally, it should be avoided using with other exfoliating ingredients. Apart from this, it tightens skin, improves texture and makes it smoother than before. This creates no white cast, hence, will be suitable for every skin color.
Suitability
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer With Sunscreen SPF 30 is good for normal, combination and oily skin type. Whereas, dry skin people can use it combined with a good hydrating moisturizer.
