The Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream 50ml is designed for adults seeking to revitalize their skin and diminish signs of aging. Its primary benefit is to improve skin texture and appearance, leaving it feeling smoother and looking more radiant through consistent overnight use. Users should note that as it contains potent retinol, it's advisable to introduce it gradually into a skincare routine to allow skin to adjust.
Potent Retinol Formula: Contains a powerful concentration of retinol, a dermatologist-recommended ingredient known for its anti-aging benefits.
Overnight Action: Specifically formulated to work while you sleep, maximizing its efficacy during the skin's natural regeneration cycle.
Improves Skin Texture: Visibly refines and smooths the skin's surface, reducing roughness and promoting a more even tone.
Enhances Radiance: Helps to restore skin's natural luminosity, contributing to a healthier and more youthful glow.
Targets Signs of Aging: Actively works to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other common signs of aging.
Hydrating Night Cream: Provides essential moisture to the skin throughout the night, supporting its barrier function.

Improves Skin Texture & Radiance: Promotes smoother, more even-toned, and radiant skin.
Convenient Overnight Treatment: Works while you sleep, seamlessly integrating into your nightly routine.
Hydrating Formula: Combats potential dryness often associated with retinol products.
Potential Initial Irritation: Retinol can cause redness, dryness, or peeling, especially during initial use.

Sun Sensitivity: Retinol increases sun sensitivity, necessitating diligent daily SPF application (though this is a night cream, morning SPF is crucial).

The Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream is formulated to deliver progressive improvements in skin quality with consistent nightly use. When applied, it feels rich yet absorbs well, creating a comfortable layer over the skin. Users can expect to notice an improvement in skin texture first, with a smoother feel becoming apparent after a few weeks. Over several months, fine lines and wrinkles are typically softened, and overall skin radiance is enhanced.
Cleanse: Begin with a clean face, ensuring all makeup and impurities are removed.
Serum (Optional): If you use a serum (like the Neutrogena Retinol Boost Serum), apply it before the night cream.
Apply Cream: Dispense a small amount (pea-sized) of the Retinol Boost Night Cream onto your fingertips.
Gentle Application: Gently massage the cream evenly over your face and neck, avoiding direct contact with eyes. Allow it to fully absorb.
Tip: For those new to retinol, start by using the cream 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing to nightly use as your skin tolerates it. Always follow up with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day, as retinol can increase sun sensitivity.
To begin using your Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream, simply twist open the jar. No complex setup is required. For best results, incorporate it into a consistent nightly skincare regimen, after cleansing and any lighter serums.
Other Retinol Boost Products: This night cream is designed to complement other products in the Neutrogena Retinol Boost series, such as the Eye Cream and Serum, for a comprehensive anti-aging routine.
General Skincare: It can be used alongside non-retinol cleansers, toners, and daytime moisturizers. Avoid using it concurrently with other strong active ingredients like AHAs/BHAs (e.g., glycolic acid, salicylic acid) in the same application, especially when first starting, as this can increase irritation.
Storage: Store the jar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent air exposure.
Hygiene: Use clean hands or a clean spatula to scoop out the product to maintain its integrity and prevent contamination.
Expiration: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, usually a small open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M'), to know how long the product is good for after opening.
