Shoppers in their 50s and 60s are hooked on this Neutrogena cream (and it's 25% off)

When it comes to an anti-aging routine, there are two products you need if you want to combat fine lines, sagging, lack of elasticity and dark spots. That, of course, is a face sunscreen and an A+ moisturizer with retinol. Separately, they're important (especially the SPF), but together they're a powerhouse. According to thousands of Amazon customers, the 2-in-1 Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Moisturizer hits the nail on the head — and it's down to just $22.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Considering that a good moisturizing sunscreen with retinol can cost upwards of $50, grabbing one for $22 is more than reasonable. This fan favorite is marked down by 25%. Having reliable sun protection year-round is priceless, but we'll take a discount when we can.

Why do I need this? 🤔

This Neutrogena moisturizer packs a one-two punch of SPF 30 and retinol, so you can reap wrinkle-fighting benefits while protecting your skin from the sun's rays. Speaking of which, make sure to apply this generously, at least 15 minutes before heading out. The formula is designed to blend in seamlessly, without leaving a greasy film behind.

What reviewers say 💬

Don't be fooled by the almost-too-good-to-be-true sale price — this stuff has scored over 12,500 five-star ratings at Amazon, with plenty of them coming from shoppers over the age of 60.

Pros 👍

A longtime customer shared her story: "I have been using Neutrogena products for over 45 years, evolving into skin-care products for a maturing female. I'm definitely starting to wrinkle, but the culprit has been living in the sun on water (and I'm allergic to OTC and Rx sunscreen). Neutrogena is doing the best that it can. It's silky and not sticky and is both invigorating and moisturizing."

"I am 65 years old and I was looking for a product for mature skin," said this satisfied senior. "I have been using this for about a month and I am very pleased with this product. It is moisturizing without being greasy, has a nice light scent and I believe it has improved my complexion. To top it off, it has SPF 30! I recommend this product."

"Having had precancerous cells removed from my face six times now, I know how important it is to use sunscreen year-round," this fan testified. "I also am aging, so my skin needs more help to stay soft and clear. Before discovering this facial cream, I was using multiple creams to do what this single cream does. I have been using it for nearly a year now, and am surprised every day by the positive results. Odorless, not oily, softens and clears the skin while protecting it from the sun. And I don’t have to wear makeup to hide damaged skin."

"I'm 70+ and have used this stuff for about 10 years," shared a fourth customer. "It works. There's almost no scent. Does not feel greasy on my face."

"You will never be sorry for trying this," shared this over-the-moon mom. "I am 68, and people think my daughters are my sisters. Your face will thank you for using this."

Cons 👎

Sniffed one reviewer: "Works as expected from a retinol. Unfortunately, the chemical scent is too strong and off-putting." A more tolerant tester reported: "The fragrance takes some getting used to, but it could be worse. This is a great product to tighten the skin and smooth out the wrinkles."

Here's why one efficiency expert docked this stuff one star: "This pump bottle may be easy to use, but it's very wasteful. I end up banging it on the counter or using a Q-Tip to get what seems like the last 20% of the cream."

Retinol isn't just for your face. Tons of shoppers are fans of Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight Body & Face Lotion, in case you want to round out your collection.
