RoCRetinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Retinol Face Serum with Ascorbic Acid, Daily Anti-Aging Skin Care Treatment for Fine Lines, Dark Spots, Acne Scars, 1 Ounce (Packaging May Vary)

This is a very honest review of several Roc retinol products starting with this serum. I deliberately waited a good amount of time to write this. It’s now been approximately 4.5 months since I started using this product as the FIRST retinol product ever. I will be 48 in about 5 weeks. My intent with Roc products was to use them to see how my skin responds to retinoids and to slowly build up tolerance to them before moving to a stronger retinoid. That’s what this product and other Roc retinol products have delivered! I will say that it turned out that my skin responds well to retinoids - I have never had sensitive or dry skin. What I do have are genetic under eye circles and bags and allergies that puff my whole eyes up. So now at 48 that is the area I have most issues with.I started using this product at night, then I added the retinol capsules at night and used this in the morning and I am also using the retinol eye cream by Roc and the firming serum stick (these two I am continuing to use now that I have switched to a more potent retinoid product). This may seem like a lot of products but again the goal was to build up tolerance.So 4.5 months in these are my results: my skin is overall firmer, that’s the biggest difference. Some of the very tiny sunspots are faded and my skin seems to have a little bit more elasticity. The irritation was mild, I do moisturize a lot and again, my skin is not sensitive.I do however know that for more significant improvements I need a stronger retinoid. So as of a few days ago I have started transitioning to retinAL, a more potent retinoid. Another reason for this is that retinAL can be used around the whole eye area. My transition is going flawlessly and I credit Roc retinol products including this serum for that! If you have fewer wrinkles and or are younger than these products may be enough for you, btw, it’s just not so in my case.So I will keep using the eye cream with addition of another one and the firming stick, because they are really nice.In conclusion, Roc products are great for initial introduction to retinoids, or for younger users and they will provide some improvements with consistent use. I would most definitely recommend all of the ones I mentioned here for those two purposes!

I swear by this BRAND altogether, let alone THIS holy grail of a product.TRUST ME when I say that IT WORKS ... and ... *queue drum roll* ... as advertised!This product won’t let you down if you have dry skin (like me) and/or experience fine lines around the eye and mouth areas (also like me).Product smells great. The consistency isn’t runny/watery and on the thick side; texture feels more like a cream than a standard serum.Wearable underneath makeup; just ensure it’s “dried”/set-in, first.(I usually apply it in the morning before doing a few odds-n-ends getting ready for work)(!) WARNING (!)To each of you beauties that are NEW to using Retinol based products like this, be mindful of a few things (maybe conduct a thorough Google search too to be 1000% sure this product is for you):1.) Retinol works best when used on a regular basis; you’ll begin seeing the results as advertised, fastest, when working this product into your daily routine.2.) If it’s tingling — IT’S WORKING! (I experienced this sensation more at the beginning of using this product since my skin had not yet been exposed to a Retinol concentrated product before.)3.) If using during the daytime (and thus, plan on going outside) — SUNSCREEN! SUNSCREEN! SUNSCREEN! — Retinol is known to ATTRACT the sun’s UV rays and can cause the REVERSE EFFECTS if someone is not NOT CAREFUL! Following-up with an application of SPF 50 is a hands-down MUST!!! (SPF 30 is the absolute LOWEST you’d want to “play” with. Even then — it’s simply not worth it; JUST GO GET THE 50!)4.) If you have SENSITIVE skin — in ANY capacity — PLEASE — I’m pretty much begging you — to PLEASE conduct a proper Patch Test prior to slathering this serum all over your face/neck.(I experience sensitivity in sporadic spurts and with this product giving off the tingling sensation [depicted above; #2] during the first few uses, I felt like it was more of a burning-like feeling, than a tingling one. — The burning-like sensation quickly subsided though and was even completely diminished by my 3rd [Day 3] consecutive use. —HOWEVER, I would also like to point out:If I skip/forget/am-too-lazy to apply this product for a few days, once I DO, the tingling [NOT the BURNING] sensation returns [w/ first-day of re-use only]. This happens because all of my fine lines are “drinking up” as much of the Retinol in this serum as fast as biologically possible!!!)TAKE-AWAYS:• This serum is hands-down amazing! The HIGHLY noticeable results ALONE make this product worth every penny (& for under $25, lets be real, IT’S A STEAL!)• I recommend/talk about this product to anyone who compliments me on my skin; Any friend/family member/co-worker who expresses anguish over THEIR skin concerns (e.g., dry skin, fine lines, hyper pigmentation, etc.); & Anyone seeking out a high quality, yet affordable, Retinol product that ACTUALLY WORKS!• Checkout this entire line by the ROC brand! They have an array of different products (Retinol based) that ALL (so far) seemed to deliver their results as promised.

Works well dries in 10 minutes but there is an odor to it that lingers. Please no scent addition in the future. Price point is good.

I've been using this for a little over a month. I'm 40 years old and thankfully I don't have too many wrinkles yet. My problem area is my forehead because I'm very expressive with my eyes and eyebrows so I have some pretty good wrinkles forming. I started using this twice a day and I'm seeing a little improvement so far. My wrinkles aren't overly deep luckily and think this product will smooth them out over time. You honestly don't really need too much of this either so it should last a long time. I did notice that if I use it with my Now toner that it stings a little bit. The only thing I really don't like about it is the way it smells. I don't know exactly what it smells like but I don't really like it. Thankfully the scent doesn't last once applied. This is definitely worth giving a shot if you have some wrinkles forming.

I'm telling you, this product works magic. It definitely works overnight and I can see the difference the next morning. My skin, specifically around my mouth (lines) and forehead (lines), look much more smoother and less intense. I've looked older throughout my life from my real age, but this product has really helped me look younger. Keep using it at a rhythm without being so excessive. ROC is truly my favorite and most trustworthy skincare brand because I have seen a distinct difference in my skin. 100% would recommend this retinol.
