Review: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Night Formula

Hey ladies! It’s time for another product review. I’ve been using Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Night Formula for over 2 years, and just realized today that I’ve never reviewed it. I have absolutely no idea why, I guess I tend to forget about products that have been a part of my regular routine for so long. Anywho, let’s get on with it…

Neutrogena Says:

Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream Night is a dermatologist recommended Retinol anti-wrinkle cream clinically proven to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging.

This patented formula contains Retinol, Vitamin A in its purest form, to work deep within skin's surface where wrinkles develop. A combination of Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E and special moisturizers work with skin's natural mechanisms to even out skin tone and build moisture levels. Lightweight and non-greasy, it absorbs quickly into skin.

Skin is softer and smoother. Fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging are visibly reduced.

Mrs. Blacksten Says:

If you’ve read very many of my skincare reviews, you’re probably aware that while I don’t get pimples often, I do get clogged pores and blackheads, etc. While I may only be 25, I do have a few fine lines under my eyes and on my forehead. A couple years ago, while browsing the internet for clogged pore solutions I came across a site, that unfortunately I cannot remember, that said that retinol is great for acne of all types. So of course, the next trip I made to Wal-Mart I ventured over to the skincare aisle and began looking for anything that said retinol.

The Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream was literally one of the only moisturizers that said anything about retinol surprisingly. Don’t gasp, but I hate SPF moisturizers, they never really soak in all the way, leaving my skin oily, and causing more clogged pores. So I picked up the night formula.

Since that day I’ve used Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Cream on and off. I may pick up a different moisturizer to try occasionally, but I always come back to this. It makes my entire face look smoother, my pores look smaller, and while it hasn’t cured my blackheads and the like, it’s made their occurrence less frequent and less prominent. For the $12-$13 it costs, it’s well worth it.

I’ve also tried the Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Anti-Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Night Moisturizer. It’s basically a more potent version of the Healthy Skin Anti- Wrinkle, with Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol SA. Honestly I loved it too, and it’s definitely more effective at making my skin more even and smooth. However, there’s a big price difference between the two. I’m not positive, but I think it’s about twice the cost of the Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream. Either way, they’re both great products.

Have any of you tried Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream?

Review: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser

Hi gals, I'm back with another review. This time it's Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser. Typically I don't like super foamy face washes, but on yet another excursion to Wal-Mart, I wanted to try something new, and saw this.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser left my skin feeling clean, without feeling dry or tight. It contains salicylic acid to combat breakouts, and blackheads. Also, it doesn't have a medicinal smell, it smells fine. I happen to wash my face when I'm in the shower, so the fact that it pumps foam out, instead of gel, is convenient.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser is readily available at almost every drugstore. And it's really cheap, I think it was like $5. This isn't a holy grail item, but it's a nice face wash.
