RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30
offers the latest in anti-aging skincare; a new daily moisturizing product with retinol and SPF 30. If you've never used a product with retinol in it, the RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 would be a great product to start with.As part of an anti-aging regimen, the use of a retinoid (retinol, tretoinin, Renova, Retin-A) is really the gold standard. The problem is that the retinoid can irritate sensitive skin to the point where a gradual introduction regimen is necessary. By adding the retinol to a moisturizing base, RoC has decreased that chance for irritation and increased the chances of tolerability. In addition, because retinoids make the skin more photosensitive, it is a must to use a sunscreen when using a retinoid. I really like the fact that a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with SPF 30 is in this product. Well thought out, RoC!
I used the RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 for about 3 weeks and during that time, I did not experience any skin sensitivity, although I've used retinols in the past. This product goes on as a thick moisturizer; it applies easily and doesn't leave a chalky appearance that some sunscreens do. It's certainly an adequate daytime moisturizer, containing Shea Butter, Squalane and Vitamins C & E, and glycolic acid which enhances the benefits of retinol. In terms of wrinkle reduction, I would say that I noticed slight improvement or softening of lines, particularly on my forehead. Your results may improve with longer, consistent use. It goes without saying that daily use of a sunscreen will also help prevent premature aging. I think this product might be worth considering if you've previously had difficulty tolerating retinol at higher strengths; experienced retinol users that can tolerate higher concentrations would probably do better to stay on their current regimen, unless they like the ideal of one, multi-tasking product.
RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 is available at drug and discount stores and retails at $19.99 for a 1 oz. tube.
