Review on Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream: Retinol, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B5 Moisturizer for Youthful Skin - 1.4 oz by Amanda Perkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BEWARE! CHANGE FORMULATION 2017! NO MORE RETINOL!

Neutrogena has recently reformulated this once great product. (probably in May 2017). It was a very affordable product with retinol, vitamin E, provitamin B5 and green tea extract. Retinol was the 8th ingredient on the ingredients list. This was excellent because products in the $60+ price range only contain so much retinol. It also had an impressive amount of green tea extract. Green tea preceded retinol on the list. They are now ALSO listed AFTER THE PRESERVATIVES! Retinol is the final ingredient. So it doesn't really exist! Green tea is also listed after 1 preservative. So it will have no effect. It still has vitamin E and panthenol, but that doesn't make it a retinol product as advertised! This product continues to have a positive review on Beautypedia. They are probably unaware of the recent formulation change as their ingredient list reflects a previous formula. I bought 2 of this product (I bought a 2 sheet pack but will include this review in any listing of this product so people are aware of this change) and they were delivered today. I was shocked to see the wording changed. I've been using this product for about 10 years. I will not buy again. I can't use the "RETINOL" cream that has about 2 times more parabens than retinol! (By the way, sorry seller, but I had to write it)!

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • There are downsides
