With her flawless complexion, it’s no wonder that Jennifer Garner has been a Neutrogena brand ambassador for years. The secret behind the 52-year-old’s youthful visage? She swears by the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream. And, the drugstore staple is on major sale at nearly 40% off on Amazon. Normally priced at $46, the eye cream is currently just under $30 for a limited time.

The Neutrogena eye cream contains retinol, which boosts cell turnover for fresher, plumper looking skin. “What I love is when you’re promoting cell turnover, it decreases lines and increases brightness and it increases fluidity and flexibility in the skin — which just means that it’s more plump looking, more alive looking, younger,” Garner told Prevention, our sister publication. “When you fill out the area around the eyes, you don’t even recognize that it’s something you’re missing as you get older, but it makes you look just a little bit more bright-eyed and younger. So this is actually really helpful in that.”
Garner continues to rave about the product, saying: “Especially, you know I’m starting to get some lines and things, and so it just helps with those and it helps keep more moisture and more brightness.” Note that the formula also contains glycerin for hydration to counteract some of the dryness that retinol can cause.
Amazon reviewers also love the eye cream. In fact, two thousand shoppers purchased it in the last month, and it has racked up over 700 five-star reviews. "Real moisturizing effect, no burns or itches. Lightweight, absorbs and blends in well," writes one satisfied shopper.
Fun fact: its sister product, the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Daily Face Moisturizer SPF 30, is a top performer in the GH Beauty Lab. Our experts found that the SPF moisturizer works to firm skin and minimize dark circles and wrinkles over time with its stable and quick-acting form of retinol. According to Lab calculations with the Visia Complexion Analyzer, after eight weeks of daily use, the moisturizer reduced UV spots by 13%, plus it improved the appearance of some consumer testers’ nasolabial folds.
