Neutrogena Retinol SA Stubborn Marks PM Treatment — Fragrance-Free 1 fl oz night serum, non-comedogenic

Neutrogena Retinol SA Stubborn Marks PM Treatment is an evening retinol formula designed to reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and even skin tone while you sleep.

This lightweight nighttime serum from Neutrogena pairs a stabilized retinol (Retinol SA) with a non-comedogenic base to support the skin's natural exfoliation and resurfacing processes. Dermatologist tested and formulated without oils, parabens, phthalates, dyes, or added fragrance, the treatment aims to promote visible clarity and a more uniform complexion when used consistently as part of a two-step regimen.

How does this PM treatment work to reduce the look of post-acne marks?

The formula uses Retinol SA, a stabilized form of vitamin A, to encourage gentle exfoliation and boost cell turnover overnight. This helps fade discoloration and smooth uneven texture without clogging pores.

• Stabilized retinol supports gradual surface renewal
• Non-comedogenic base minimizes risk of new breakouts
• Designed for nightly use to complement daytime acne care

Will this treatment irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Neutrogena created this formula to be fragrance-free and free of oils, parabens, phthalates, and dyes to reduce potential irritants. Because retinol can sensitize skin initially, start with every-other-night use and increase frequency as tolerated.

• Fragrance-free and dye-free to lower irritation risk
• Non-comedogenic so it won’t block pores
• Gradual introduction recommended for sensitive skin

How should I include this product in my daily skincare routine?

Use the Retinol SA PM Treatment at night after cleansing and before moisturizing. For optimal results against stubborn acne marks, pair it with a morning benzoyl peroxide treatment that targets acne-causing bacteria.

• Night: cleanse, apply Neutrogena Retinol SA Stubborn Marks PM Treatment, then moisturizer
• Morning: follow with Neutrogena Stubborn Acne AM Treatment (benzoyl peroxide) for a complementary regimen
• Always apply sunscreen daily when using retinol products

What results can I expect and how soon?

Consistent nightly use supports visible improvements in discoloration and overall clarity over time; individual results vary depending on skin type and extent of marks. Many users notice smoother texture and reduced blotchiness after several weeks of steady application.

• Gradual fading of post-acne marks with ongoing use
• Improved skin clarity and more even tone over weeks
• Complementary morning acne treatment can enhance overall results

Who is this for: This Neutrogena Retinol SA PM Treatment is aimed at adults with post-acne marks, uneven tone, or textured skin who want a dermatologist-tested retinol option without fragrance or oils. It suits acne-prone and combination skin types seeking a nighttime corrective step that pairs with a benzoyl peroxide morning product. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other strong topical prescriptions, consult a healthcare professional before starting retinol. Begin gradually if you have sensitive skin, and always protect treated skin with daily sunscreen.
