You will be shocked to learn the truth about Roc retinol correxion deep wrinkle night cream. Make no mistake that Roc is one of the biggest skin care brands in the world. They are especially popular in the US and the UK. And it’s true that they do indeed manufacture some good products. But good doesn’t mean great.

According to the company’s website at the time this article is being written, they advertise this wrinkle night cream which typically comes in a 1 ounce tube is “up to 7x more effective” than another leading brand. They don’t specify what “leading brand” that is, but we’re going to go out on a limb here and make the assumption that they are referring to Olay skincare.  Being that Olay is far from being what we would consider a leading brand, beating them isn’t all that impressive. Also notice the part of their statement that says “up to.” Upon closer inspection, you will discover their “7 times” claim applies to crow’s feet only, and not the other two categories listed in the bar graph on their site. So although this statement may be technically correct, many interpret it as being a bit deceiving.

More Questionable Advertising…
While we’re on this subject, you may be shocked to hear what is about to follow. In 2008 the Advertising Standards Authority, which is a UK committee for keeping tabs on the ad industry, came down hard on advertisements Roc was using to sell their Complete Lift products.  According to this committee, they said that Roc’s claims were not supported by “robust science.” A revelation like that certainly concerns us and makes us wonder if this will happen for their other products in the future, such as the Retinol Correxion deep wrinkle night cream.

Is it worth it?
Now in defense of Roc, we will say that their creams certainly are not bad for you, and definitely better than not treating your wrinkles at all. This particular night cream contains retinol. If you’re not familiar with what retinol is, you should know that it has been proven to be one of the most effective substances for anti-aging. In fact, a form of retinol is the active ingredient in a prescription cream in the US, and it is the only topical cream that has been approved by the FDA to fight the signs of aging. That’s a big statement right there to say that a government regulatory body has found that forms of retinol are indeed effective at wrinkle reduction.

But how does it work? Well, retinol A increases the cell turnover rate on your skin. In turn, this means your cells are replenishing and replacing themselves at a much faster rate. When you’re younger, your skin cells have a higher turnover rate. So for many people this ingredient is an extremely effective method for them to fight the signs of aging. So the Roc retinol correxion deep wrinkle night cream 1 ounce tube is actually not a scam because it does contain a small amount of this amazing substance. However, there are other OTC skin products on the market that contain higher concentrations or retinol A.
