Neutrogegena Clinical Lifting Wrinkle Treatment Review (2.6/5.0)

Neutragena Clinical Ion ComplexNeutrogena is one of the most trusted brands in skincare, with a strong foundation in skin cleansers, acne products, moisturizers and sunscreens.  As they have branched out into the anti aging realm, we were excited to see whether their new line, "Neutrogena Clinical", could hold up to its reputation.  In a 4 week clinical study, 91% felt a visible improvement in skin firmness, 78% saw a more lifted appearance in their jawline area, 70% saw a more lifted appearance in their eye area.   While there was some noticeable reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, they were not significantly noticeable improvements.
 

Scientific-Backing of Ingredients  
The ion complex2 ingredients is basically a silicone conditioner enhanced with vitamin E acetate (Tocopheryl Acetate).  In the eye cream, Glyceryl Stearate promotes skin smoothness, and Glycolic acid acts as a dermal collagen stimulator to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.*

Conclusion
While Neutrogena Clinical Ion2 Complex has an interesting story behind their 2-step system, as a wrinkle reducing cream, there are probably more effective wrinkle creams that are also simpler to use.  We recommend trying other  top rated wrinkle creams,
