Derm Compares Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 vs Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair vs RoC Retinol Correxion
Neutrogena$27.99- “Both of these formulas are they have encapsulated retinol at concentrations of unknown”▶ 4:30
- “The rapid wrinkle repair does have a sugar complex that helps to accelerate or increase the penetration of the retinol into the skin”
- “The Neutrogena one is the thickest of the three”
- “If you're someone who has dry skin and you always appreciate a little bit of an extra hug, Neutrogena is probably going to be the one that sits best with you”▶ 10:01
- “Just me being drier skin, I prefer the Neutrogena one”▶ 10:46
- “They have some internal data showing increased expression of CRABP2, which is a molecule that transfers retinol or retinoic acid into the nucleus so that it can act on the retinoic acid receptors”▶ 12:54
- “They also have like 20 patents on the retinol itself and they also have like a hundred studies on the retinol as well”▶ 13:23
- “They show that it slowly releases throughout the day onto the skin”▶ 13:30
- “I think that kind of shifted my bias, but I think barring that because I don't know what the competitors have done, I would say to me like it really is just a preference on texture and maybe that extra peptide”▶ 15:08
- “I would say kind of all of them equivalent, with me leaning more towards the Neutrogena one just because of the internal studies that I've seen”▶ 15:20
- “The first retinoid I ever used was the Neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair”
- “I thought you know it's like wrinkle eliminator pore eliminator. Like these are things I hear and I'm like okay that's what was my expectation. I was very disappointed even after perhaps using a full jar”▶ 15:42
RoC$28.49- “Both of these formulas are they have encapsulated retinol at concentrations of unknown”▶ 4:30
- “The thinnest product, meaning the most lightweight formula, is the retinol correction max hydration cream from RoC”
- “It gives you a little bit of a shimmer. A little Edward glow moment just for a second before it absorbs really nicely into the skin”▶ 8:50
- “They show at 4 weeks there was clinical improvement on the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles”▶ 11:42
- “The results are fairly realistic here. It's not perfect. It's going to fade them”▶ 12:00
Olay$39.99- “This one does have more benefits it brings”▶ 5:58
- “This one also has niacinamide in it which I generally consider to be a benefit for barrier and for aging purposes”▶ 6:13
- “It also has retinyl propionate. So, it's a retinol plus a retinyl propionate complex”▶ 6:36
- “They also added a peptide called pal pentipeptide 4”▶ 7:03
- “The whole portfolio, the whole profile of the Olay product does certainly elevate it beyond just a simple retinol moisturizer combination”▶ 7:25
- “I think in this category, at least for formulation and proposed benefits, it's the clear winner”▶ 7:31
- “It's almost this silky silkiness to the spread to it that is a little bit thicker than the rock one”▶ 8:29
- “It really does leave you like, I don't know, silky is a pretty good word, but it does give you like a really nice aesthetic for softer skin”▶ 9:19
- “If you really want like that soft appearing and soft feeling skin, I think that's where the Olay vehicle delivers”▶ 10:10
- “I think aesthetically I like the Olay one the most. I think it leaves you with the most appreciable change on the skin”▶ 10:39
- “I think Olay theoretically might have a higher ceiling, although subtly and I think aesthetically the Olay one I preferred, but that's just me”▶ 16:08
- “I would say go with the Olay one because it's got the more interesting ingredient combination, the niacinamide, the peptide”▶ 16:35
