Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Moisturiser


I'd been curious about Neutrogena's new line of anti-ageing products for quite some time now. The products boast "Accelerated" Retinol SA: This is an effective combination of Retinol SA, Glucose Complex, and Hyaluronic Acid.

I purchased the Rapid Tone Repair Moisturiser. In addition to the accelerated Retinol SA forumula, it contains Vitamin C. Unlike many products, its Vitamin C is potent enough to be effective. (Tip: "Ascorbic Acid" should be listed among the ingredients).

I've used this product for nearly a month - I'm pleasantly surprised by the results! My skin is more smooth, balanced, and a bit "glow-y" (I know, I know, so cliché). It even gave my pale complexion a healthy flush, and diminished acne scars. Rapid Tone Repair absorbs quickly & won't dry you out (Hyaluronic Acid is great for hydrating skin). That said, I find it more effective when I use it every other day (as opposed to every day). Overall, this is a great moisturiser & exfoliator - I'm a big fan of multi-tasking products. It should fit into just about any skin care routine.

Los Angeles

Summer is (almost) here! I just confirmed my travel plans for this year. I'm heading to Los Angeles for 10 days to visit a good friend. I plan on attending a few networking events, & taking a fashion design illustration class while I'm out there.

My friend & I were debating hitting up Las Vegas, Santa Monica, or San Diego. Any recommendations? I've never been to LA before - any places/events I should see while I'm there? I'll be there around the middle of June. Also, it'll be my first time flying (yes I'm serious, lol. Any time I've travelled, it's been by train or car).
