Roc Skin Care - Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Creams

Roc Skin Care has for over a century been at the forefront of costmetics. Founded in France in 1952, Roc skin care was formed as a direct result of Dr Jean-Charles Lissarrauge's creation of the first ever cosmetic that didn't involve a perfume. Over 50 years on, Roc Skin Care is still producing great products and is among one of the largest cosmetic companies in the world and has been recently purchased by health giant Johnson and Johnson.

Roc Retinol Correxion is the flagship anti-aging product in the Roc Skin Care product line up. Even though there are several anti-aging options available, Roc uses Retinol as the key anti-aging element for all of their products. Retinol is simply a form of Vitamin A designed to be absorbed by the skin and remove or scrape the dead skin from the surface. This is done to stimulate new skin growth as well as the creation of new collagen leading to a more youthful appearance.

Even though the Retinol is a powerful anti-aging ingredient, it is also the Achilles heel of the Roc anti-aging product range. The reason for this is that Retinol, along with having anti-aging properties, it also a well known irritant for those with sensitive skin. The scraping away and removing the top layer of skin is known to lead to irritation with some skin types. Such irritation includes itchiness, redness and skin blemishing.

Although Roc's anti-aging products have proven to work for many users however there are the setbacks as mentioned previously. Definitely a product that may be worth considering especially if your skin is not ultra sensitive. On the other hand there are some great alternatives that will do as good of a job, if not better, than the main Roc products that will suit all skin types.
