Cream rock with retinol

I used it for three years. Everything was fine. After the next tube ran out I purchased the series. After using it, my entire face became swollen and covered in a rash. The third day does not pass. I bought ointment and allergy pills. I hope it helps. I gave the cream to a friend, she was ok. So, apparently, your things accumulate and it’s better not to use cosmetics alone for a long time.

ROC caused mixed feelings when I first met it. I really liked the consultant at the pharmacy, so I was determined to get a positive result from the retinol cream for the skin around the eyes against wrinkles. Disappointed! There was no burning or redness, as many here say, but the cream slides off, dries out the skin, and leaves an uncomfortable feeling. I decided that it wasn’t right for me!

Therefore, I was no longer going to experiment further with this brand until I received a 50% discount on any ROC products. The same girl is a consultant to me. I recommended body milk in a lilac bottle with hyaluronic acid. I went and bought it. Used it for the first time today. Excited! I don’t know what about the elasticity and moisturizing effect that the manufacturer promises - it takes more time to evaluate this. But the cream feels wonderful! Unobtrusive aroma (I associate it with barberry), distributes well, does not clump, the skin is soft and silky :). very good Fine.

there is one more coupon left for a 50% discount on one ROC product :), I wanted to buy a body balm for dry skin (use it on the heels, after sunbathing, leave it on for the winter), now I even have a desire to buy a second jar of restoring lotion (that’s what it’s called , although the consistency is body milk).

Retinol is a real superstar among anti-aging cosmetics ingredients. In the popularity rating it confidently ranks next to hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and coenzyme Q10, but the lifting effect is far from its only advantage. Why and who needs a cream with retinol? Let's tell you in order.

What is retinol and how does it work on the skin?

Retinol (vitamin A) is a fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant that performs many tasks in our body, such as supporting immunity, ensuring visual acuity, promoting bone growth and being responsible for healthy hair. At the same time, in cosmetology, the effect that vitamin A has on the skin is most valued: due to its low molecular weight, it easily penetrates it at the cellular level and affects not only the superficial, but also the deeper dermal layer.

What exactly are the benefits of retinol for the skin?

1. Smoothes wrinkles (including deep ones).
2. Lightens age spots.
3. Fights acne and post-acne (especially as part of peelings).
4. Evens out skin tone and texture.
5. Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
6. Increases skin elasticity.
7. Accelerates the process of cell regeneration.
8. Improves blood circulation

Types of creams with retinol

Contrary to popular belief, not all retinol creams fall into the category of anti-aging cosmetics. Initially, dermatologists used it to treat problematic skin suffering from pimples, acne and post-acne. The benefits of vitamin A are also obvious in the fight against the first signs of photoaging: dull color, uneven texture, facial wrinkles, pigmentation. Therefore, the question of at what age should you use creams with retinol cannot be answered unambiguously - it all depends on what problem you want to solve.

More information about anti-aging skin care:

Day cream for facial skin

Adding retinol to day creams began relatively recently. Vitamin A “does not like” ultraviolet radiation and is destroyed when exposed to sunlight, so it is best not to use creams with retinol during periods of increased solar activity or use formulas with SPF filters. Daytime face creams usually do not contain retinol in its pure form: instead, various retinoid compounds are added.

Night cream for face skin

The most popular form of cosmetics with retinol is night cream for facial skin. At night, photosensitive vitamin A does not need protection from the sun and acts most effectively.

Eye cream

The area around the eyes is highly sensitive and often suffers from dehydration, and retinol is known to dry out the skin. To avoid negative consequences, retinol is added to creams for the area around the eyes in small concentrations, supplemented with powerful moisturizing components: for example, aloe and hyaluronic acid.

Cream for the neck and décolleté area

Using a cream with retinol on the neck and décolleté can tighten the skin and restore its elasticity, as well as reduce the number of wrinkles.

Hand cream

Most often, a woman’s age is revealed not by her face, but by her hands, which we usually forget to take care of. Retinol creams will help protect against pigmentation and make your skin smoother.

How to choose a cream with retinol

Vitamin A is a very “capricious” ingredient. It does not tolerate well the proximity to other components in cosmetics, is destroyed under the influence of ultraviolet rays and, if used or dosed incorrectly, dries the skin, and also provokes peeling and irritation.

What to look for when choosing a cream

Retinol concentration. Usually in beauty products it does not exceed 0.01 - 2%, but different skin types react to vitamin A differently. For example, if the skin is thin and sensitive, you should start with a concentration of no higher than 0.025%. If you have oily skin, use 0.5%, because the drying effect of retinol is only beneficial for oily skin. At the same time, it is better to start using the cream once a week, gradually increasing the dosage.

Moisturizing Ingredients. Retinol dries out the skin and often causes flaking and redness. To minimize its negative impact, look for information about the composition on the jar of cream. First and foremost, you need formulas with natural oils, green tea extract, vitamin C, ceramides, peptides and hyaluronic acid. If after two weeks of use the skin still remains dry, add moisturizing serums and masks to your usual cosmetics.

Cream texture and skin type.

1. Oily skin will benefit from an oil-free face cream with retinol. No pore-clogging ingredients!
2. Dry skin, on the contrary, will like thicker creams with oils in their composition. Particularly important are components that help retain moisture.
3. Sensitive skin needs a minimal concentration of retinol, complemented by hypoallergenic and soothing ingredients such as chamomile and aloe vera.
4. For normal skin care, water-based creams are best.

Product with retinol – one. An excess of cosmetics with retinol can lead to a chemical burn, especially if the instructions for use are neglected. Therefore, it is better not to use several products with retinol in skin care at once.

Age. To combat age-related skin changes, creams with retinol begin to be used from the age of 25-30. Moreover, each age has its own characteristics.

1. Retinol cream after 30 years. The main goal of care is to prevent aging, so in the early stages a small concentration of retinol is enough - from 0.1%. The cream is applied to cleansed and moisturized skin: for example, after using a serum or 20-30 minutes after applying a daily moisturizer.
2. Retinol cream after 40 years. The goal is to fight wrinkles and skin aging. Retinol concentration – from 0.4 to 1% (gradual increase). At this age, it is important to add a cream to care for the area around the eyes to the face cream. Retinol will help remove “spider legs” in the corners of the eyes and visually smooth the surface of the skin.
3. Retinol cream after 50 years. At this age, retinol promotes cell restoration and regeneration, as well as the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which our skin produces less and less. A retinol concentration of 1% or higher will help smooth out even deep wrinkles, remove mesh, tighten pores, lighten age spots and make the facial contour clearer. In addition to care with retinol (not only for the face, but also for the hands, the area around the eyes, neck and décolleté), it is important to moisturize and nourish the skin. Complexes of natural oils, extracts, essences, serums, masks and other products with a high concentration of active substances are suitable for this.

The product's name:
RoC, Retinol Correxion, Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer, SPF 30, 1.0 fl oz (30 ml)
Expanded opinion:
I, as a naive Albanian peasant woman, somewhere in the depths of my soul hoped that glycerin and squalane in the first places in the composition would not play their first violins in this cream so actively. But no! How many times have I beaten myself not to order products with similar ingredients, but no, I’m still itching. This multifunctional cream has clouded my brain.

Compound:
Water, glycerin, tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, dimethicone, butylene glycol, cyclohexasiloxane, cetyl alcohol, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, squalane, PPG-2 myristyl ether propionate, pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate, styrene/acrylates copolymer, diethylhexyl 2,6-Naphthalate, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, glyceryl stearate, PEG-75 stearate, polyacrylamide, glycolic acid, phenoxyethanol, pentylene glycol, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, C13-14 isoparaffin, ceteth-20, steareth-20, methylparaben, tocopheryl acetate, fragrance, propylparaben, ethylparaben, laureth-7, BHT, disodium EDTA, cyclopentasiloxane, p-anisic acid, allantoin, polysorbate 20, retinol ascorbic acid, hydroxyphenyl propamidobenzoic acid, sodium hydroxide
Filters:

Here you have hydration, good SPF protection, and anti-aging in the form of retinol, and all this can be done during the day - in short, Masha was full of promises...

No, no, everything is great with the cream: the presence of retinol is perfectly felt by naked skin, it provides hydration, selflessly sacrifices itself to the sun, but, God! How dense and shiny it is on the face!




Considering that my skin is oily, with this cream I turn into a disco ball, start emitting rays and can earn extra money as a small power plant (in case the power goes out in my area). Of course, I understand that squalane and glycerin are needed for moisturizing, but apparently not for me... Eh, happiness was so close... to my oily skin... but not fate...

But I think this exhibit will suit those with dry skin. At the very least, it will certainly be suitable for those who tolerate oils, glycerin, etc. well on their faces. slippery substances. I can bear them partly.

Stunning beauty metamorphoses were about to happen to me after 12 weeks of use. But, an insidious “but” intervened in this process - with a creaking in my heart, I barely made it to a month of use and could no longer tolerate this creamy strobing on my face. However, surprisingly:

— the cream did not cause skin rashes or allergies, did not clog pores (for my oily skin), does not lie on the face as a white film (as is often the case with SPF), is very economical due to its consistency, a small drop is enough (and more no need), has a standard cosmetic fragrance

And now this oil lies in the refrigerator and is waiting for... it’s unclear what... maybe I’ll give it to my dry-skinned mother, maybe I’ll use it in the summer at the dacha (there among the pampas, the baobabs don’t care whether I shine like New Year’s tinsel or not). In short, I don’t know yet...

Summary: I highly recommend that anyone with dry, aging skin, especially women over 50, pay attention to this moisturizing cream with retinol and SPF protection from a French manufacturer. Oily-skinned people, move on in peace or see for yourself...
