BEWARE! FORMULATION CHANGE 2017! NO MORE RETINOL!
Neutrogena recently changed the formulation of this once great product. (Probably around May 2017). It was a very affordable great Retinol product with Vitamin E & Provitamin B5 and Green Tea Extract. Retinol was the 8th ingredient in the ingredients list. That was superb because products at the 60USD+ price range does include only that much Retinol. It had also an impressive amount of Green Tea Extract. Green Tea was listed even before the Retinol. They are now listed EVEN AFTER THE PRESERVATIVES! Retinol is the last ingredient. So it actually does not have any! Green Tea,too is listed after 1 of the preservative. So it will not have any effect. It still has Vit.E and Panthenol but that does not make this a Retinol product as claimed! This product is still rated positively at Beautypedia. They probably are not aware of the recent formulation change because their ingredients list shows the previous formula. I bought 2 of this product (I bought the pack of 2 listing but will include this review to every listing of this product so people are aware of this change) and they were delivered today. I was shocked to see the changed formulation. I had been using this product for about 10 years. Will not buy anymore. I can't use a "RETINOL" cream which has about 2X parabens than the Retinol! ( I am sorry for the seller btw but I had to write this ) !
