Since its beginnings in the 1950’s, the RoC skin care brand has established itself as one of the most recognizable skin care product ranges in the world and lays claim that its products can actually improve the skin’s health and slow down the ageing process. The company’s founder Jean-Charles Lissarrague was confident that a breakthrough could be made in the research of findings ways for interacting with the natural processes that form our skin’s ageing process. It wasn’t until the late 1980’s that RoC managed to develop a stable form of what is reputed to be the most successful skin care component to actively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines – Retinol.
What is Retinol?
Retinol is a fat-soluble form of vitamin-A that has the ability to act as both an antioxidant and to affect the skin’s aging processes in a significant way. After being applied to the skin, retinol penetrates to the lower layers helping deliver vitamin A which accelerates the rate of skin turnover and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This is essentially why the skin looks smoother and feel firmer and affects that overall youthful appearance. Retinol not only benefits the inner layers of skin, but it also helps stimulate the outer layer of the epidermis as well, promoting greater cell growth, and accelerating the process of replacing old dead skin cells with new healthy ones. This is why skin creams containing retinol do tend to have a noticeable affect on the skin, generally leaving it looking and feeling fresher and smoother.
RoC has marketed its products over the years with alot of research and testing by dermatologists which is intended to confirm and backup its claims. Their products enter the consumer market after many clinical trials and consumer tests and its this commitment to focusing on improving the skin’s health that has helped its reputation in the skin care arena. RoC products have loyal consumers who testify in trials that the products really do seem to make the skin feel healthier as well as affecting skin’s appearance.
In 1995 RoC developed RETINOL ACTIF PUR, a stabilized form of Vitamin A that pioneered the treatment of wrinkles by focusing on ways to prevent them as well as focusing on improving their appareance. Both Roc’s anti-wrinkel product lines – Actif Pur and Retinol Correxion – are based on RoC’s Retinol formula which RoC testify is clinically proven to reduce fine lines and significantly help smooth wrinkles.The RoC RETINOL CORREXION product contains a formula of RoC Retinol and a mineral complex which was developed specifically for targeting deep wrinkles.
RoC RETINOL CORREXION Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, for example, is reputed to be able to create noticeably firmer looking skin after a 4 week course, with a ntoiceable affect on fine wrinkles. After 12 weeks the product is reputed to have a noticeable affect on even deep wrinkles. Not surprisinlgy it has become one of the most popular products for targeting wrinkles. RoC claim that their RETINOL CORREXION moisturizer is the only one on the market to have truly been clinically proven to put back the age of your skin in look and feel.

Anti-Wrinkle Product Formula
RoC have two product lines that target wrinkles: Retinol Correxion and Retinol Actif Pur. Both these products have a day cream with an SPF factor of 15 to provide routine protection from UVA exposure. The 2 product lines share many similarities and not many differences, we believe they are generally aimed at different age groups - Retinol Correxion day and night creams, being the company’s flagship products for reducing wrinkles, are generally marketed as the heavyweight solution for deep wrinkles and so would seem to be aimed at women and men in their 30s upwards. The Retinol Actif Pur product line is marketed as a subtler formula for wrinkles and fine lines (Note the lack of the term “deep wrinkles” in the marketing for these products), so these products are intended to be more suited to teens, 20-somethings and women in their early 30s.
The Retinol Correxion formula contains a mineral base (magnesium, zinc, and copper that aim to to improve the appearance of even deep wrinkles) combined with RoC Retinol. The Deep Wrinkle Night Cream is designed to work throughout the night, firstly firming the upper layers of your skin to reduce fine lines and then working deeper to impact on deep wrinkles. Retinol Actif Pur combines Retinol with glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid used by dermatologists to exfoliate the skin.
