RoCRetinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Retinol Face Serum with Ascorbic Acid, Anti-Aging Treatment for Fine Lines, Dark Spots, Post Acne Scars, 1 Oz

As a loyal user of RoC products for years, I was excited to try the Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Face Serum, and it didn't disappoint. I've always seen noticeable improvements with RoC, and this serum is no different. It's a powerhouse that's really helped to smooth out some of my more stubborn wrinkles and fine lines.The texture is light and absorbs quickly, so it's easy to layer with my other products, and I haven't experienced any irritation that can sometimes come with retinol. It feels gentle yet effective, and my skin looks more radiant and firm. You can tell it's working, and for me, that's what keeps me coming back to RoC.

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!

The smell is rather off putting at first but then you get used to it. So far so good, hoping it does what it says it will after some time.

I have been using this cream for 10 years. I look 10 years younger! Everyone women and man should be using it. The Vitamin A in this retinol cream has accelerated my collagen production giving me smoother skin. You can research the science behind it by looking up the word "retinol."

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.

Feels ok on the skin. Description says unscented but I don't like the smell

Got this at a good price. I've been using it for years and I really like it. I think it has softened my fine lines. Most people are surprised when they fined out how old I am (67). It isn't greasy and soaks in my skin fast.
