This is my favorite warm weather daytime moisturizer. This sinks right in and disappears and has spf 20. I'm not sure if it firms -I don't have a problem with wrinkles or loose skin...yet. I mainly use this b/c it's light, it doesn't breakout my skin, and high spf. I also mix this with philosophy's hope & prayer vit C powder.

So far I really like this product. I have been using it for several days now, and no breakouts or irritations from it, which is good, because my skin tends to react to almost every neutrogena product i've ever tried. I have noticed that neutrogena makes the best drugstore (if not best anywhere) sunblocks. I know this lotion is not a sunscreen, but i think of it as a sunscreen because it provides uva/uvb protection. It goes on matte, which is mandatory for my skin because i am greaseball as it is....

Definately give this product a try!

I bought the Visibly Firm Lotion mainly because of the reviews here, but my experience differs very much from other users.

While I really like the packaging with the pump, the product itself was disappointing. I have normal to oily skin and am in the age group of women you would expect to use this product (mid 40s). I can usually put anything on my skin and have no problem, but the Visibly Firm Lotion caused breakouts - something very rare for me! I also was less than impressed with the moisturizing abilities of the lotion. The product absorbed quickly, which was nice, but my skin did not feel very smooth afterwards. It actually felt as if I should put on more, again very rare for my skin.

Lastly I was not crazy about the smell. Visibly Firm Lotion smells faintly like bubble gum, and the blue color kind of adds to this impression.

All in all this was not for me at all and a waste of money.

I got this recently thanks to the great reviews here. I was looking for a sunscreen that wore well under foundation without making my norm/combo skin look all shiny and this is the best I've tried yet. 2 pumps are ample for me and it smooths on and sinks in quickly. It really does wear well under foundation and I'm blotting less now than I was before I started using it. The fact that this also has the added benefit of copper is the icing on the cake. Packaging is great too. Definite repurchase.

I just bought this sunscreen product a few days ago. I really like the feel of the lotion - it's not sticky or greasy feeling at all. It sinks right into my skin and makeup is applied flawlessly overtop. I like the added benefits of copper. The packaging is super, letting you "turn on" or "turn off" the pump. Two pumps is sufficient to cover my face and neck. Should last a long time, since I will only be using the product when I will be in the sun.

This is a great day lotion for warmer or in-between weather. Love the SPF and indeed it has made my face look firmer and clearer. Goes on matte, never greasy or oily. My only near-complaint is that my combo skin needs extra help in the winter (my cheeks get drier). Maybe if they came out with a cream version of this lotion, it would be enough for my cold-weather-dry cheeks...? Otherwise, this is an excellent drugstore lotion that I recommend and look forward to using again in the springtime. Also dig the pump bottle that you can turn "off" to ease traveling with it.

Well this is easy as far as getting an all in one kinda product. spf, moisturizer and anti aging benefits in one bottle (I hate product clutter) It does smooth, firm, does good for normal/combo skin so I use this during the day and retinol cream at night and my skin does good w/ this combo. Easy to find, pretty affordable, stable sunscreen formulation, all in one. Yep will repurchase!UPDATE: Well it's been a week now and I am having a nice little clogged pore party! I have weird watery zits on my cheeks (and I NEVEr have had a zit there!) Cant stand it now. The physical sunscreen is what is clogging my pores as I have had that prob with zinc oxide before. Oh well 18 bucks wasted now!

great moisterizer! really helps firm my skin, goes on matte (never heavy/oily), and sits very well under makeup. The high SPF factor is fantastic, too. i'm on my 2nd bottle of this and very happy with the way it works, what it does for my skin. I also use the facial Peel and have had great results. i know this may be considered pricey for a drugstore brand, but it performs like a much more expensive product. so well worth the money!

I've been using this for a few days, and I really like it. It doesn't leave your face greasy. It has zinc oxide, instead of avobenzone which always irritates my skin & eyes. This would be great alone in summer, but it's drying for cooler weather. I would use in spring & summer only. I like the glass bottle and pump.

Since my skin is somewhat oily during the summer, I have only been applying this at night, but I see a big difference.. The active ingredient is copper tripeptide, which is supposed to regenerate skin and healthy tissue. I don't have bad wrinkles (I'm 26 years old) but I do have uneveness to my complexion. Since I starting using this cream 2 weeks ago, my skintone has completely evened out and I don't have red bumps or pimples anymore. It's a little expensive for a drugstore product, but well worth it.

I like the glass bottle, it lets me know hoe much I have left before I have to purchase again. I have been using the same bottle for a couple of months now. I like the product and I think it has helped keep the face firm, I will repurchase when I run out.

I use this when my skin is oily because it helps to dry it out. Don't notice any other changes.

I agree with the
previous review, the pump is great and the prescribed 4 pumps is very accurate.
I have combination skin prone to acne and this sunscreen lotion didn't make
me break out, in fact, it helped clearing out my previous breakouts!
I suspect it's because Copper has soothing and healing properties. In combination
with the night cream it did smooth my fine lines as well after just a few applications.
It's not to greasy and does absorb quickly but if you have oily or combination
skin this lotion would work best in the winter. I find that it is a bit film
forming (like eraser crumbs when rubbing lightly) so waiting a few minutes before
applying your make-up would be best to prevent this. It's a good quality lotion
at an affordable price without fragrance or colorant.
The smell and the blue color comes naturally from the copper.
Note that
I also use (sparingly) the night cream as
well but do wet my face a little before applying since the cream is heavier
and would definitely be a great winter cream for combination skin. I use the
night cream undiluted under my eyes and it works great. The
eye cream has almost identical ingredients for the exception that
the night cream has a higher concentration of the active copper! Therefore you
don't need to buy the eye cream which is the same price for 1/4 the size of
the night cream jar!!

I didn't like this either. The stuff is not moisturizing in the least, it is very thin and though it isn't greasy, it just doesn't deliver effective moisture. My skin is oily/normal, but even then, this didn't make any difference. I do prefer the night cream version and the eye treatment is ok, but I don't care for this lotion at all.

I love this lotion. It's not greasy, doesn't break me out, comes in a pump (is hygenic), relatively inexpensive, helpt so firm the skin, and most importantly, has a pretty good spf. This is my favorite (HG level) day facial lotion.

The best thing I've ever done, when I've purchased this set (day, night and eye cream). Easy to apply, my skin feels great after, and it doesn't feel oily. I've been using it for two months now and I can really tell the difference. I've start getting compliments about my skin texture, which is the greatest feeling when you're 35. A+++

I like the container and dispenser but this spf moisturizer doesn't give me enough mois terization. For the price I rather continue using the Olay complete SPF 15. Olay is much cheaper and you get more.

Now that I have switched to Almay's Kinetin range for my night routine, I am using this during the day to access the firming benefits of copper. The SPF20 rating is a an added bonus. I love the pump dispenser and a gold star to Neutrogena for the glass container: I like to see how much I have used. So far so good - it absorbs beautifully, no breakouts, no reactions ... I have a good feeling about this one.

Not really sure about this one yet... I've been using this for two days and I have to say that I don't like the texture at all. It feels very heavy on my combo/oily skin and doesn't sink in very well. Maybe I don't need as much moisture as it's offering?

I have used copper products in the past (Neova) and liked the smoothing results - didn't like the whiteheads though :( Hopefully this starts to smooth as nicely as the Neova did.
I really did want to like this so I'll see if using less product helps. I'll be updating soon!
UPDATE****** Well, I tried to put less on and I still got all shiny and felt "muggy" when I used this. I guess it's just not meant to be.

It is the best sunblock on the market! My friends and my mother love it too! I tried dozens of different sunblocks for the past two years and this one is the best so far...If you have extra oily skin like mine, you should try Neutrogena Visibly Firm spf 20!
UPDATE: this product is not effective for UVA protectio so review above is meaningless.
