Wrinkle Cream Reviews 1
Overview
Roc Skin Care is a very recognizable brand of skin care products that can commonly be found in many different chain retail stores. Roc Skin Care uses pure and active ingredients that help your skin look healthier and younger. The official Roc website claims that all of their skin care products don’t just cover up problems, but also actually improve the user’s complexion in the long run.
Roc skin Care was founded over 60 years ago by a French pharmacist named Jean-Charles Lissarrague and his colleagues. Roc Skin Care first hit the US shelves in 1999 and has been a good seller ever since. Two anti-wrinkle lines are available on the official Roc website and these are the Roc Retinol Correxion line and the Retinol Actif Pur line. Both of these feature the Roc retinol formula, which uses concentrated Vitamin A that has been proven to help eliminate fine lines while keeping your skin smooth.
Product Details
The two anti-aging lines available from Roc Skin Care both contain the popular ingredient Retinol. Retinol claims to stimulate a user’s skin into renewing itself more quickly than it can on its own. This can keep your skin’s elasticity from degrading and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Roc Retinol Correxion line consists of the Deep Wrinkle Moisturizer SPF 15, Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, Eye Cream, Deep Wrinkle Serum, and Hand Repair SPF 15. The Roc Retinol Actif Pur line consists of a Daily Moisturizer and Night Moisturizer.
The active ingredients list for each product is easy to find, but we can’t help but notice there is a lack of popular wrinkle fighting ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000 or other new peptides. Instead, these products rely entirely on Retinol as the main anti-aging substance. Retinol may make your skin sensitive to sunlight so you are highly encouraged to use extra sunscreen with a higher SPF than you usually do, and to be aware of how much time you are spending in the sun.
The Good
- Roc anti-aging products contain Retinol.
- Roc Skin Care products can be found at many retail and drug stores and you can easily order the products online.
The Bad
- Roc Skin Care products don’t seem to contain any proven anti-wrinkle ingredients.
- Roc products all seem to contain parabens, which are synthetic preservatives that may have an adverse effect on the skin if used over a long period of time.
- No money back guarantee can be found on the official website.
The Bottom Line
Roc Skin Care is certainly a very popular brand within the skin care industry, but most of their attention seems to be on moisturizing creams and lotions. Their anti-aging line featuring retinol may be a good choice for people who like what prescription creams like Retin-A have to offer but want it in a lower, non-prescription strength. While the Roc Skin Care anti-aging products may help renew your skin, we recommend that you find a product with some potent anti-wrinkle ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000 to really help out with existing wrinkles.
I have used your Daily Resurfacing Disks and Deep Wrinkle Serum and broken out in a horrible rash around and under eyes. Even had swelling under the eyes. Scared me to death. I was using no other products for about 3 days, and this happened. i stopped immediatley when seeing the reaction. Is there anyway to get a refund? I paid over $30.00 for the two items. Thankyou, Barb Christman

I purchased the RoC MultiCorrexion Skin Perfecting System because I am trying their
RoC Mulit-Correxion Night Treatment to hopefully remove agespots under my eyes. The Multi correxion moisturizer stings my skin is that unusual. Also I am black, so far the result on the RoC Mulit-Correxion Night Treatment are good on some spots but the major spot not so mucn. I have been using their products for a little over 3 weeks. My question is are the products good for black/ brown skin.

My skin is a medium brown and have been using the daily moisturizer with SPF 30 deep wrinkle. I had a very bad reaction and broke out in a bad rash all over my face and my lips and eyes swelled up.
I have been using the night cream just fine, but will definitely not be using the daily one anymore!

Ronel, are you saying that it won’t be available in South Africa? I’m South African and stay in the tropics in SE Asia. I buy my roc products online at skinstore.com. Its the only product that works for me. I’m ‘brown’ with serious pigmentation and in the sun every day. After having tried a variety of products I’ve learnt to be patient and have used it non-stop for 15mnths now.

I have been using Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream for atleast three weeks. Although I’m only 22, my skin was a little dull and tired as the result of wearing makeup since I was 11 and living in New York City. Since using this productmy skin has transformed. I feel like this product has taken 7 years off and my skin is glowing. I’m not a sales rep, but for this product, I wish that I was. If you do try it, you’ll know for sure if it’s for you within a week and a half.
The only thing is I do believe that you should find a wrinkle fighter to use with it because it has no proven ingredients to reduce/prevent wrinkles. I REALLY LOVE IT and will continue using this product for a very long time.

I like the Made from Earth website because they list all their ingredients in plain English. On the box every ingredient has the standard latin based name and the English explanation of it. For example, “butyrospermum parkii butter – shea butter”. Very convenient. Cause latin and me never really got along too well…
their face firming serum is amazing…feels healthy and organic, and alot less expensive than the other DMAE serums on the markets

Does this address age spots? Sounds like a great product.

I have been using Roc for about two weeks, I’ve bought the product in the gold packaging but I would like to know which one of the Roc products would meet my needs which is on one side of my face is a wrinkle staring below my left eye down my check. Since using Roc it seem to be making it less visible but should I be buyine the serum instead of the product I bought?

I have used the MULTI CORREXION™ 4-Zone Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 for one week and I have broken out in a rash all over my face. Since the 2nd night. I thought my skin just had to adjust (and I hate I spent $30 and its now basically down the drain…)How disappointing. Glad to know I’m not the only one with this problem. Glad my eyes didnt swell!
