    What the gurus are saying

    This fragrance-free retinol earns consistent praise for delivering an instant plumping effect and smooth texture without the irritation typical of retinoids. Dermatologists credit the hyaluronic acid and glucose complex formulation for minimizing dryness and discomfort while the stabilized retinol does the anti-aging work, and they note it is gentle enough for sensitive areas like the neck and hands. At around $28, it stands out as a well-researched, time-tested drugstore retinol backed by clinical studies that actually works.

    "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 came out with little encapsulated one-time use bath beads of their fragrance-free retinol. If you don't care for the jar packaging, that would be a good option. This is a really good product."

    "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."

    "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."

    "This is the OG that I'm most used to and you can either get it fragrance free or fragrance. This one's a fragrance free version. Very affordable, 30 something bucks for these. For a retinol, this anti-aging, you're going to pay a little bit more for it."

This one contains retinol formulated with the glucose complex to really enhance delivery and reduce irritation. This moisturizer also contains hyaluronic acid."

    "I got this probably when I was 20 years old, and it was the first time I ever bought a retinol, and I bought it with the expectation that it was going to immediately reduce wrinkles and get rid of pores, and it didn't happen immediately. But actually, I have very few negative, if any negative, things to say now about it. It actually is very tremendous in the space. This is going to be something that has been time-tested. You can just cleanse at night and apply this, and you'd be done."
