If I could change one thing about my skin, it would be the muddy looking brown spots. All my fun in the sun as a teen has scarred by complexion with sun damage. Tricky to shift, and hard to cover (without looking like you're wearing a mask of makeup), here is my new hope in a jar.

Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream with Accelerated Retinol SA
Fact: For brighter skin, there is no better combination than retinol and vitamin C, here's why? Together they complement one another nicely the retinol speeds up a sluggish cell turnover (that slows with age) and the vitamin C brightens dull skin (another beauty dilemma that happens as you age). This smart combination features in Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Regenerating Cream, $52 and here's how it works.
What's in it?
The hero ingredient is called 'accelerated retinol SA', created by Neutrogena chemists, it's a blend of glucose and hyaluronic acid with prescriptions strength retinol. The brand says this creates a synergistic anti-ageing effect in the skin. That clever formula is made even more potent by brightening ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and hydrolyzed Myrtle leaf extract. In short - it's one hell of a face cream in the war against wrinkles.
How does it work?
The luxurious texture makes it a rich moisturizing cream that delivers a nourishing boost to the skin. The combination of these gold standard ingredients helps to fade the look of brown spots, blur the look of fine lines and improve the texture of sun-damaged uneven-looking skin.
How to use it?
Once you start using this cream, you will not want to stop. The brand recommends using only a pearl-sized amount (good advice I used way too much on the first application and had slight peeling around my nose) less is more with this cream. Always apply it to dry skin, and gently massage it into the skin, morning and night.
