What the gurus are saying

The gurus who reviewed it praise the serum's lightweight texture and research-backed formula, with one expert noting visible improvements in neck texture and acne marks over months of use. The retinol concentration is low enough that even those new to retinol can start with it, though those with normal to oily skin may find it more suitable than drier types. Starting with a half dropper and layering it with a hydrating product like hyaluronic acid or peptide serum is the approach the experts suggest.

"If you prefer something in a serum form, I love the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair. I picked this because it's a brand with serious R&D, research and development. They have the science proven behind it. It's not just some TikTok hype. They might get hyped on TikTok, but they actually have the receipts to prove why they're being hyped."

"Other brands I really enjoyed using include Neutrogena, whether it's their straight Retinol Serum versus eye cream, both are great, pretty lightweight. I don't think it's very heavy at all."

"Its concentration is low, which is why even if you are a super beginner you can use it. Start with like half a dropper, which gives you a little more than a pea size amount. Dot it all over your face, smooth it over, apply a moisturizer. This product is going to give you all of those benefits that you have been looking for. The good part is this product you can easily use twice. This product is super gentle. I've given it to people with sensitive skin. As you get comfortable with retinol, then you can obviously venture into peptides, add like your matrixyl or argireline or whatever else. The beauty of keeping your routine super simple down to three ingredients is very simple. By chance you get a reaction from a product, you immediately get to know that this is the product and these are the ingredients that are the problem."

"Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair, you get 0.3% concentration. Neutrogena has some great great formulas. The product is a little expensive but it is kind of affordable. I personally enjoyed the serum form a little more."

"I really like this serum. It has retinol, but it's not more than 0.2. You get some ascorbic acid, you get some peptides, so it's a good serum. I use a full dropper, which is more than a pea-sized amount, and I use it on my neck. I do that about three times a week, and when I apply retinol I always layer it with 100% or I layer it with a multi-peptide or some hyaluronic acid or something. Honestly, in the last eight months I feel my neck has really improved. One amazing thing that's happened is the acne marks have automatically gone away, which is a big thing."
