Once again a fail for Rapid Wrinkle Repair. I don't have a lot of wrinkles for my age but I did not notice a difference after months of use, maybe years of use would be of benefit.

Reviews
I am only 21 so wrinkles are not a huge concern for me but I do have fine frown lines, fine lines on my forehead and under my eyes. I also have very dark under eye circles.
I did not find this had any significant affect on any of the above. It may have decreased my wrinkles slightly but not enough for the price tag and did absolutely nothing for my dark circles (pretty sure they are genetic anyhow, so not sure how this is meant to help, but, hey it claims to). I actually won this product with the matching moisturiser so did not have to pay the steep price tag and definitely wouldn't after my experience. Is anyone else sick of hearing "see results in one week" and no product actually fulfilling them. Really makes me distrust the brands which make such claims. I have obviously used this for more than a week though and still fail to see any dramatic difference. It does leave the area feeling nice and hydrated though so that's a plus.
As with the other products in the range the packaging is lovely and dispenses a good amount of product, but, it is just not worth the money in my opinion.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this and will not repurchase in the future. If you are on the hunt for a wrinkle fixing miracle, you wont find it here (sorry).
This was my personal experience though and products work different for individual people so "results mat vary" as they would say, but, I'm not convinced.
Tips: I would recommend collagen capsules for reducing wrinkles and improving skin over topical lotions. And would advise you to save your money if considering this product.
I like this product my skin is left feeling smooth & softened
I found my the fine lines & crow's feet around my eyes have diminished over time.
I don't have dark circles under my eyes so can't comment on that
I have sensitive eyes & I did find that my eyes stung slightly afterwards but not for long & it didn't make my eyes swell up! So I'm still using it as I find it's working to reduce the lines!
I Would recommend it to friends!
Tips: Read the important note on side of box which explains the warm tingling sensation or redness that might occur is normal but if effects persist or cause discomfort limit use to once every other day until skin adjusts then revert to daily use.
So I have nothing to compare this to as it's the first time I've used a wrinkle cream.
There is not much in terms if fragrance which is good because fragrance usually means my skin reacts and around the eyes is super sensitive.
I have notice a reduction in the appearance on my wrinkles but it puffs up my eyes a little. Other then that I've had no bad skin reactions.
The packaging is pretty average and plain but that doesn't bother me so much.
It's super easy to apply with the applicator it in only a small amount comes on and it dabs on nicely then absorbs quite fast.
It's relatively cheap compared to most anti wrinkle creams and you can purchase it at the supermarket so it is a less daunting purchase for a first timer like me.
Tips: Use morning and night before you apply/after you remove your makeup.
I have been reading a lot about retinol lately. It's the one ingredient that crops up all the time as the must-have in anti-ageing products. I excitedly went to speak with my beautician about it but she was (somewhat annoyingly) quite hesitant to recommend any prescription strength retinols, because like any active ingredient they can irritate the skin.
I wasn't put off though and after some online reading I decided to give the Neutrogena retinol product a go.
The serum comes in packaging that's light resistant and the pump is easy to use and doesn't dispense too much. On first application I felt the reassuring tingle/sting that means it's doing something, right? Unlike some of the other expensive potions I have been talked into at facials. There are some that as you put them on you feel you might as well rub the money you just spent all over your face instead - but this isn't one of them. Plus it's affordable which makes me happy.
It has an unusual fragrance but it's not unpleasant and doesn't stick around. The next morning I noticed a tiny bit of flaking on my chin but this hasn't happened again.
I have been using it every evening for three weeks and can report that my skin feels and looks great. It's far too early to see results in terms of lines and wrinkles but what I have noticed are the following:
Less noticeable pores Less congestion and blackheads around my nose, forehead, and chin Smoother and brighter looking skin overall
I will review again with before and after photos when I have been using it for 6 months to see if there is any effect on my wrinkles. I am definitely going to stick with it purely for the clearing effect it has on my pores and the overall look of my skin.
