What the gurus are saying

Hyaluronic acid is the detail these experts keep returning to, as it gives skin an instant plump and may ease the dryness that retinol can bring. The moisturizing base means you may not need a separate cream, and it's gentle enough for sensitive areas like the neck. Pick the fragrance-free version, since the scented one is the same formula with fragrance added.

    "The Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream, the fragrance-free one, I have been recommending for years and years and years. [...] I swear it has this instant plumping hydrating effect. And it likely has to do with the hyaluronic acid, which helps to improve the dryness, the irritation that one might experience from their very effective stabilized retinol. That's slow release, sustained action. That's a great formula with hyaluronic acid."

    "Neutrogena has one of the best retinols you can buy over the counter at the drugstore. They actually come in several strengths. This is the Rapid Wrinkle Repair, fragrance free. [...] You can even start with low strength within one brand such as Neutrogena and build up to some of their stronger retinols. This is another longtime holy grail, tried and true version."

    "There is a product by Neutrogena called the Rapid Wrinkle Repair and this has a retinol in it. I use a fragrance free version. I do this extra step because I really want to treat the neck and the tops of the hands because those are two areas [...] that get a lot of sun exposure and they also get a lot of neglect from us in our skincare routine. [...] I find this to be far more gentle yet still effective for those really sensitive skin areas of the body."

    "My favorite long-time favorite and budget pick is the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, the fragrance-free version. This one is like this all-in-one nourishing cream that also contains retinol. It's gentle and effective and has proven results and is a long-time best seller for this brand, so you know it's good. [...] It will really help preserve your youthfulness and possibly subtly turn back time in these delicate skin areas for your neck and the backs of your hands."

    "This is in a very moisturizing cream base so you don't even need to buy a separate moisturizer to put on top of it. [...] I use this in my own routine on my neck and on the tops of the hands because it is gentle in these sensitive areas but it is great for the face as well. [...] This will rebuild your collagen and help decrease your wrinkles. Retinol is the type of retinoid in this which is proven to be anti-aging in many studies."
