Questions and answers
What makes Neutrogena Triple Age Repair Moisturizer a great fit for mature skin?
This moisturizer is a great fit for mature skin because glycerin and shea butter keep the skin soft and hydrated while sunscreen filters protect against sun damage. Hexylresorcinol and Ascorbyl Glucoside help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. It is unlikely to cause irritation.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?
This cream is a great fit for mature skin because it contains hexylresorcinol and ascorbyl glucoside for tackling fine lines and wrinkles, alongside glycerin and shea butter to keep skin soft and moisturized. These ingredients help improve firmness and overall tone with a very low likelihood of irritation.
What does Avobenzone do for mature skin?
Avobenzone helps protect mature skin from UVA rays that cause premature aging, though it works best when paired with stabilizers to prevent it from breaking down in the sun. This ingredient may also help reduce UV-induced skin stress when properly formulated, keeping the face protected during outdoor activities.
European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2023European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2008
What does Homosalate do for mature skin?
Homosalate acts as a UV filter in sunscreens to protect your skin from sun damage, showing minimal risk of skin irritation. For mature skin, a sunscreen of this type needs added antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to help keep skin smooth and support your moisture barrier.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This cream goes in the morning routine as the final moisturizer step before your sunscreen. It provides great moisture and sun protection while helping smooth out fine lines, and it is safe and unlikely to cause irritation.
Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizer with retinol by applying it as your morning moisturizer or after your evening retinol treatment to help keep your skin feeling soft and comfortable. Sunscreens containing these UV filters are unlikely to cause irritation when combined with active routines.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing spf every morning as part of your regular daytime routine to keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. Daily application helps soften fine lines and shields your skin from damage safely and comfortably.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2015
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This moisturizer is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, as it has a safe formula with a low risk of irritation. It helps keep your skin soft and smooth while defending against sun damage.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Behenyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017A formulation combining 4-hexylresorcinol and niacinamide significantly improved hyperpigmentation, skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, and firmness compared to niacinamide alone in Chinese subjects without adverse events.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2022Chemical sunscreens containing avobenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, and octisalate showed no to minimal risks of dermal irritation, sensitization, photo-allergy, and photo-irritation in human subjects.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025Encapsulation of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane in lipid microparticles significantly reduced their in vivo human skin penetration compared to nonencapsulated filters.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2011Microencapsulation of the BMDBM/HP-beta-CD complex in lipid microparticles significantly decreased the percutaneous penetration of the UV filter into the stratum corneum of human volunteers compared to the non-encapsulated sunscreen agent.
Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2011Following human skin application of an O/W emulsion containing 2% BMDBM loaded in lipospheres, 15% of the sunscreen accumulated in the uppermost layers of the stratum corneum without remarkably modifying skin permeation compared to unencapsulated sunscreen.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2008Dermal application of a sunscreen containing 10% homosalate in four volunteers resulted in delayed elimination with terminal half-times around 24 h and a bioavailability of cis-homosalate a factor of 2 lower than trans-homosalate, while metabolite ratios supported using oral-route urinary excretion fractions for dermal exposure assessments.
Archives of Toxicology, 2024Homosalate exhibited the highest permeation among tested filters with a relative permeability rate of 4.2% and a depth of 60 um, and specific thickeners and emulsifiers successfully reduced its permeation without inhibiting the skin permeation of niacinamide.
Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 2026An online-SPE-LC-MS/MS method successfully quantified specific urinary homosalate metabolites for up to 96 hours after dermal sunscreen application in a volunteer and detected metabolites exclusively in three German pilot participants who had used sunscreen within five days.
Analytica Chimica Acta, 2021Simulated real-life dermal sunscreen exposure in twenty human volunteers leads to the systemic bioavailability and urinary excretion of the UV filter 2-ethylhexyl salicylate and its metabolite, reaching concentration peaks at 7 to 8 hours with 70-80% of overall excretion within 24 hours.
Archives of Toxicology, 2019The application of a sunscreen formulation containing ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, methyl anthranilate, and octocrylene does not significantly affect critical acne-related species such as Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, refuting the induction of facial dysbiosis in men.
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024Controlled single dermal exposure to an EHS-containing sunscreen in three volunteers resulted in delayed systemic resorption with elimination half-lives between 6.6 and 9.7 hours, where the parent compound EHS occurred as the dominant urinary parameter.
Archives of Toxicology, 2024A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events.
Lasers in Medical Science, 2025A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025Topical 1% hexylresorcinol is equivalent to 2% hydroquinone in significantly reducing the appearance of facial and hand pigmentation in healthy female participants over 12 weeks, with both treatments showing no adverse effects.
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2023A novel triple-active cosmetic formulation containing 4-hexylresorcinol, retinyl propionate, and niacinamide improved the visual appearance of photoageing similarly to 0.02% tretinoin and reversed a consensus gene signature associated with ageing in female adults while causing less skin irritation.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024A topical cream containing retinol 0.5% in combination with niacinamide, resveratrol, and hexylresorcinol improved all efficacy endpoints including fine lines, radiance, smoothness, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles in 25 subjects with photodamaged and aging skin over 10 weeks.
