As I get older, I’ve noticed my skin tending towards dry and sensitive. Neutrogena products work well for me (the sunscreens are my favorite!) as they don’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts. I received these full-size samples of Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair line and have been using them diligently since I got them during the summer. I can honestly say that they are the best drugstore skincare products I have ever used. In fact, I like the serum so much that when I ran out of it I went out and got two more tubes.

In the summer I always end up getting closed comedones, which are those non-inflammatory small bump type of acne that make your skin texture appear rough and uneven. A good treatment is retinol, although most products with retinol are too strong and irritate my skin. The Rapid Wrinkle Repair collection is marketed as anti-aging but the improvement I noted most was on my blemished summer skin. I will say that I think my skin texture looked worse before it looked better, but that’s always been my personal experience with retinol products. My skin improved rapidly once it adjusted.

Left to right: serum, eye cream, daytime moisturizer.

The full collection includes a retinol moisturizer for daytime and moisturizer for nighttime, but my two favorite products are the eye cream and serum. You can pick up the Rapid Wrinkle Repair line at most drugstores, but they tend to be priced lower online, especially at Target and drugstore.com.
