This is the only product I've found that combines anti-acne and anti-aging ingredients that actually does both for me. It can be a bit irritating when you first start using it, and you only need a really small dab, so the tube lasts a long time, but it does keep my face clear and it smooths out the fine lines. Until I found this product, I had to resign myself to either treating the acne or the fine lines, but not both, because products for the acne exacerbated the lines, and anti-aging products made the acne worse. I only use this product at night, because the retinol is strong and sun exposure can make your skin red. I also don't use this on my neck, since I don't really break out there and was getting red, irritated skin when I did use it there. It works well on my face, though, keeps the acne away and smooths the wrinkles, so I use this as my night cream, and I use a separate moisturizer for the skin on my neck. I hope Neutrogena never changes this formula, because I've never found another product that works as well as this one for me.

I bought this product in the clear tint, and was very glad I did, as it is a bit sticky and tends to rub off on your clothes. It has a nice sheen to it, and I can see how it would photograph well, which I suppose is why it is so popular with celebrities, but I really did not notice it covering my imperfections or making my skin firmer or more toned looking. Maybe the tinted formula would have covered imperfections, but it also would have rubbed off on my clothes. I still have the pouch, and I will rub it on my legs and arms after I am dressed, only on the body parts that are showing skin, and it does give my skin a subtle sheen that looks nice, but again, I am careful not to get it on my clothes. I don't know, maybe the toned thing happens with regular use, but again, I don't want to get it all over my clothes, so everyday use is not really practical for this product. It was fun to try, though, and if I ever have a photo shoot I'll definitely break it out

I like this product for a natural looking gradual faux tan. It doesn't have that funky after-smell that lots of self-tanners have, which is a real plus - this is one of the only self-tanners I've found that doesn't have that. I also like the gradual tan, I feel that it looks more natural, with less streaking or orangey tones, but it does take a few days to build up, so if you want a tan quicker don't go for this one. It also has a bit of subtle shine to it, which is nice, but not too much, I don't want to go around looking like I just came from a Kesha concert. I also wasn't really sure about the firming aspect, though I must say that I bought a store brand to save a couple of bucks after using this product, and I did notice more cellulite on my thighs after that, so I'm thinking this product may have been doing something in that regard. All in all, I was really satisfied with this product, and I will buy it again.

I like to use these before I work out, to get the makeup off. They smell good and do a good job removing my makeup. I wouldn't use them in place of a good face wash, but they are good for makeup removal or a quick fresh-up

I tried this product on my body, and it was a fun experience to try once, but I don't think I'd make a habit of it. It feels smooth and cool, and it kind of tingles when you put it on, but it's also very messy and I had to clean out my shower when I was finished. My skin did seem smooth and nice after one use, but it was so messy and the change really wasn't enough to warrant going through the clean up regularly. It's a fun product if you want to do kind of a spa day experience at home, though

I still had acne, even after I used this product for a month. I didn't really have any irritation or anything, but it did not get rid of my acne, so basically it did not do the one thing I bought it to do. would not buy again

I can't get through the winter without keeping one of these lip balm in my purse, my nightstand, my kitchen cabinet, pretty much everywhere. It goes on smooth, doesn't have a funny taste, smells clean, and makes my lips feel great and keeps them smooth. I also like the price, given that I go through so many of them during the winter

This product really didn't do the trick for me. I still had acne after using the entire bottle over the course of a month. Guess I need something stronger.

Rimmel eyeliners are my favorite drugstore eyeliners. They go on smoothly, don't smear unless you want them to, and stay on pretty well throughout the day. They also last a long time

This is the only anti-perspirant/deoderant I use, as it's the only thing that really works for me. I don't know if it's just me, but for some reason I tend to sweat a lot, and I was always getting these embarrassing wet stains under my arms. I no longer have that problem with this product. I've tried to go back to other regular antiperspirants, but I always come back to this one. I wish it came in a clear formula, as sometimes I have to wipe off excess product before I get dressed, and I'm not crazy about the the way it dispenses, but it works, so I'm willing to forgive that.
