Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Range Frequently Asked Questions

With or without retinol, always remember to wear sunscreen daily. We recommend to use a sunscreen as the last step of your skincare routine and limit sun exposure while using retinol products.

Look for a product that contains pure retinol because it's the most refined form of Vitamin A with scientifically superior anti-skin ageing power compared to other forms of Vitamin A like pro-retinol (retinyl palmitate).

You may experience mild redness, a warm, tingling sensation or flaking (skin exfoliation). These are normal, temporary indications that the product is working. If effects persist/cause discomfort, reduce the frequency of use until your skin adjusts, then revert to daily use as tolerated.

Remember that not all retinol and not all retinol products are created equal. Our scientists have studied the effects of our retinol and have shown that results continued to improve even up to 1 year after starting use*.
