RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, 1.0 oz with mineral complex | Anti Aging Skincare Treatment for Women & Men, oil-free, non-comedogenic, visible deep wrinkle repair, packaging may vary

I’ve used other retinol products with varying results, but I decided to take a chance on this one because Google listed it as one of the top products for effectiveness against signs of aging. HOW I USE: I apply this retinol cream to my wrinkles and lines every evening, then follow-up with a good night cream, (it leaves my skin too dry when used alone). I began with every-night use right away (it is recommended to start gradually with every-other-night vs nightly, but my skin is not sensitive, so I jumped right in without regrets; if you have sensitive skin, I would suggest easing into using, as the instructions state). MY EXPERIENCE: The first few times using this cream, I felt a slight burning sensation (mostly between my eyebrows area). I suppose that was my skin getting used to the retinol. After the very first application, I noticed my smile lines, the lines leading from my nose to my mouth, seemed to reduce substantially. Then, within a couple of days of use, the frown lines between my eyebrows began to lessen. I’ve used this product every night for a little over 2 weeks now, and my skin feels smoother and more youthful. Unfortunately, it has caused a few breakouts, too. Mostly at the end of the first week (maybe it was my skin getting used to this level of retinol). I haven’t noticed much difference in the wrinkles above my lip (some call them smoker’s lines, but I’m not a smoker). Sometimes, I accidentally lick that area, and let me tell you, retinol does not taste good. And I’m sure it’s not good to ingest. So, I began applying a lighter layer, which may be why I haven’t seen any improvement there. --------------------------------------- Overall, this is an excellent product. I love that it actually lightens my wrinkles without requiring a prescription or a doctor’s visit fee. The scent is neutral, it's easy to apply, and the consistency is smooth and creamy. I really like this product.

I love this product for fighting wrinkles, but it is so harsh. I have sensitive/dry skin (which of course, shows wrinkles the most) and being of "that certain age," my skin is extra dry and sensitive. I used this religiously, but ended up with my eyes almost sealed shut from a reaction to it and my skin burned, even when I limited my use to once or twice a week. Got rid of the wrinkles, but also got rid of my skin!! I won't give up using it, because it is amazing on wrinkles, but I recommend not using it every night - use it a couple of nights on, then a couple of nights off. My face would be red after using it this way, but not burned. A friend of mine recommended another skin care product - she's into organic - and told me to try Bel Essence (comes in an oil or cream, I used both - I've been buying it from their website but it's available here too)( Bel Essence Anti Aging Treatment - Intensive All Natural Anti-Wrinkle, Facial Lift Skin Care Formula - 1.5oz ). This solved the reaction problem to Roc. Not only did it help my skin in general, but using it with Roc - no burning, no bad reactions. I talked to my doctor about it, and he told me that the natural oils in Bel Essence contain high amounts of Vitamin E and other nutrients that help the skin heal and stay healthy. If you love Roc (and I am a HUGE fan), I recommend using Bel Essence with it, to get the good effects of Roc without the bad. There are a lot of all natural skin creams out there, but this worked the best, and absolutely worked the best with Roc. Not only does it keep the results from the retinol permanent, my skin kept getting better - lines and discolorations were still going away even when I reduced the number of times I used the retinol. I swear by both products. Quick update - for Roc burns, I found that the Bel Essence oil Bel Essence - (2oz) 100% All-Natural Organic Anti-Wrinkle Formula with Argan, Grapeseed and Sesame Oil works a little quicker in helping heal. Probably because it is 100% oil without the ingredients to turn it into a cream. So if Roc really burned your skin, the oil will help treat it more quickly. Another quick update - my skin is fabulous now. Never thought it would look this good - the Roc has reduced my lines to minor marks that make up covers nicely, and my skin is soft, firm, and a lot brighter. This is a GREAT combo. I love the effect of the bel essence on my skin, the roc gets your skin to turnover faster, and the bel essence makes sure that the new skin is firm, smooth, soft and wrinkle free. I can't believe that a natural product work work this well - I expect it from the roc which uses chemicals, but I am amazed that ingredients from nature can so completely change my skin and make me look years younger! Ok - so I just need to add another quick rave about the combination of roc and bel essence. I had deep crevices across my forehead - GONE - only the tiniest of lines that are easily covered with makeup. I now have NO LINES around my eyes, or on my upper lip. This combination is amazing. I've used the Roc alone for a long time and saw results, but when I added the Bel Essence, that's when I really saw results. And permanent results. I am so thrilled with my skin now!

I have spent a large majority of my 22 years in the New Mexican sun, and while I have been very good about sunscreen the last couple of years the sun damage of my youth has caught up to me and I found myself with 3 forehead wrinkles and a scattering of freckles and sunspots. While it might seem insignificant to some I hate to think what I'd look like at 40 if I already have signs of aging. So I did a lot of research into proven wrinkle treatment and in my search I discovered something. There are millions, MILLIONS of products, home remedies, and concoctions that claim to prevent wrinkles, treat wrinkles, make them disappear, and do a number of other things. However the ONLY FDA APPROVED ANTI AGING INGREDIENT is the various strands of RETINOIDS. That doesnt mean that nothing else out there works, but it means that the only one that has enough strong scientific evidence to be considered a treatment for anti aging is products containing some type of retinoid. When you go to a dermatologist for wrinkle cream, you will very likely receive a prescription strength retinoid because it is proven to work. What are retinoids exactly and what is the difference between the various types? Retinoids are essentially vitamin A, their structures vary in each of the three generations but generally all the retinoids found in anti wrinkle creams are first generation. They are in fact natural ingredients found in plants and animals and we consume them in our daily diets. Researching the various types of retinoids for anti aging there are 3 things that pop up.: retinol, tretinoin, and retinoic acid. It took a while to decipher what each of them is and after reading a number of papers about them the short summary is this. Tretinoin is retinoic acid (its also known by its drug name Retin-A) and is the retinoid you will find in perscription cream. The difference between retinol and tretinoin (in relation to their usefulness) is simply their strength. Tretinoin is retinoic acid that is directly applied and effective where retinol is applied and your skin coverts it to retinoic acid to be used. One of the dermatologist articles I read said she recommends anyone who considers a tretinoin to start with a retinol so you can build up to the full strength. Retinol and Tretinoin have been found to treat a number of different skin conditions, including acne, wrinkles, stretch marks, and even some studies have been done on its effect on treating skin cancer. How it treats wrinkles. When its applied your skin has cells that synthesize the retinoic acid and it increases cell turnover, thickens the skin, increases collagen production, Stimulates blood vessels in the skin, and reduces sun spots. One thing to know though is if applied everyday results will not show for 3-6 months with best results in 6-12 months. So for everyone who says they've used it for a month and haven't seen results, they haven't been using it long enough, remember sun damage and wrinkles took years and years to appear and are not going to be undone in a month. The way to apply the product is to spread evenly 30 minutes after washing your face, to ensure your face is completely dry. While I have found different reasons as to why it shouldn't be applied wet most articles say that it: decreases effectiveness, increases risk for side effects like dryness and pealing/scaliness, and one article says it doesn't matter if you apply it wet, but putting it on while your face is completely dry can't hurt. Retinoids also make your skin more sun sensitive, so sunscreen should be applied daily (which if your trying to undo sun damage and wrinkles anyway than you should be putting on sunscreen anyway to prevent even more damage) Now finally for my personal results. I started using this product every night around 4 months ago and I have noticed a difference. My forehead wrinkles have almost completely disappeared, my sun spots have faded, and even my acne scars are less noticeable. For the price and effectiveness I would recommend this product. The only reason I do not give this product 5 stars is simply because it advertises itself as a deep wrinkle cream, and as I only have fine lines I cannot gauge its effectiveness on deep wrinkles. I hope some of the information about gives you a little insight into retinoids, but please know this is only basic information gathered by an individual from various scientific articles. I am not a dermatologist and if I was to go into more detail about retinoids this review would be 10 times longer. If you want to know more you should do your own research and talk to your doctor.

What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling overly dry or irritated like some other retinol products I’ve tried. Consistent use has definitely made a visible difference. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective retinol product at a great value.

I was pleased to receive this product as I have looked for a facial moisturizer that contained a retinol and would soften the rougher skin that comes with aging. There is barely a scent, absolutely nothing unpleasant. It has moisturized my skin nicely and without any greasy or sticky feelings. I think it is too early to see a true difference in fine lines. (I have used true retin A in the past and even it takes a while to show results, usually beginning with peeling) If you've read the label, you have noticed that the retinol is certainly not 'top of the label' so that I am unsure how active it actually is. But I have treated it with the respect I show true retin A, using it at night, as directed on label, using about 30 minutes after washing and drying my face. I use a sunscreen daytime with a moisturizer. I started using this cream twice weekly, switched to every other night per label, and will wait a bit before using it nightly. I do expect possible peeling and perhaps a bit of redness. Personally, I avoid the undereye area as I tend to be most sensitive there but I use an Amazon eye cream that I really like. This cream certainly gets positive reviews on beauty sites and I plan to continue using it. I like that it is a thick cream, so that a dab goes far. I got it during a Prime sale because it is usually a bit expensive for such a small tube. The moisturizing itself lends a nice glow to my skin and I think it was a great buy.

I was SO happy when I found this lovely cream. Just finished my first tube and ordered this for the second time, and IDK what just happened, but new packaging: the cap is light and cheap, and the product no longer has the light pleasant flowery-perfume scent it had before. Now it smells like dirt! :( WTH? Can't speak to it's efficacy yet, but it also doesn't seem to go on the same either. Not sure if I will continue to use. Sad.

I found myself growing desperate. At 70 years old, my skin was no longer responding to exfoliation. It was as if my skin was as dry as a desert bone and no amount of moisturizer would penetrate it. I thought to myself: 'So this is what it's like to turn 70, as the skin cells harden like old dry leather. It was very uncomfortable physically, the sensation of unyielding, tight dryness. Then I read the good reviews on this particular product, RoC Retinol Correction Deep Wrinkle Night Cream. I thought, Why not try it - it's not too pricey and I could afford this. So glad I did! Almost immediately it began to work wonders! My skin feels normal again, like tender, soft, clean young skin - well, as soft as a 70 year old can get. My skin looks and feels better after only a week's worth of bedtime application. No lines are disappearing, but they appear softer, if that makes sense. My makeup glides on more smoothly and my skin looks distinctly softer/better, more luminous. I would definitely recommend this one for the over 65 crowd. Note: There is a mild burning after its applied. At first, apply it every other night. Then apply every night. After the application dries down on your face, in 10 minutes or so, you can apply a natural, healthy none toxic moisturizer. It helps to relieve some of the burning.

This product is not expensive and yet very effective, so I do recommend it.

The ROC Night Cream did exactly what it promises to do in my case; I am 48 years old. The first nights, I experienced a warmth on my face, but it was not uncomfortable. After almost a week, the wrinkles I had between my eyebrows have almost disappeared completely. My whole face is now glowing, fresh, and yes, if you keep at it, you will definitely get results.

Llego un día antes de la fecha estimada, la caja estaba un poco golpeada pero el producto estaba en buenas condiciones, llevo usándolo durante 3 noches y me ha encantado, además que lo conseguí por menor precio 😃👍🏼

Less lines under eyes

This is my first try in this brand. So far i am Loving the texture, and the feel on my face in the morning upon waking up. As to if it works, well still under observation. The strange smell is not a big deal for me. Let see if this will earn an additional star on my follow up feedback .

I've been using other expensive cosmetics for long time. Because the website(not Amazon) review for this product was good and this is not expensive item, I wanted to try it. I think this product is value for the money. My skin feels smooth and looks great.
