Here's what our community thinks
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum 30 ingredients
This product obviously sped up cell turnover which caused my existing acnes to come to a head faster. Also means my skin purged. It's annoying but a good sign overall of a good retinol product. I also noticed immediate improvement in my skin overnight in terms of texture. Except for the purging which should stop at some point, this is a good product.
