Advantages: Eyes seemed less wrinkly. Disadvantages: Felt the skin was getting more sensitive
...my quest I came across ROC Retin-Ox Correction which seemed to promise everything except a cup of tea.
The main incentive for buying this particular cream was the extensive ad campaign which ROC lauched for the promotion of this product. The woman in the advert said something about 'I'm 43-surprised?' Thinking back now though, she actually did look her age more or less so what convinced me this would work I really don't know. ROC has one of those ... ...is suitable for everyone. However ROC maintain that their 'scientists have built on their extensive understanding of skincare to produce technologically advanced products which are highly effective, yet suitable for sensitive skin. RoC® products work to visibly improve skin. This is our promise to you.' This would seem to say that this product should be suitable for everyone yet I would be wary of giving this to someone with sensitive skin. However, ...

Advantages: few- no allergic reaction Disadvantages: disappointing- mean size tubes, expensive
...then I am disappointed indeed. Roc retinox correction is too expensive to waste. The face cream product left the skin feeling dry- smelled of roses- and did leave the face soft to the touch, but again 40mls is too little cream for the expensive price, and did not last long enough to complete the trial that would have achieved the 10 year younger face I desired. Sorry Roc I shall not buy another tube to complete the time because it is too expensive ... ...theatre.
I feel that Roc is disappointing for its high price. The best of the products seems to be the night cream, but the mean size of tube is a clue to what you are buying. Great packaging- nice plastic tube that does not crack and split, but hard to get the remainder out when it starts running out. Not the miracle it promises to be- sadly. ...

Advantages: It really works Disadvantages: Not within everyones price range
The important thing about RoC Retin-Ox Correctiom (in fact, all RoC products) is perseverence. No one should reasonably expect instant results, but we do unfortunately live in a society where instant gratification is not soon enough.
I have been using this particular RoC product, along with the rest of the face care range, for over 5 years and I will never consider using another product.
It took about 3 months before I began to notice some improvements ... ...(she is unable to buy Roc in Oz so I post it to her).
I find that the cream is easily absorbed and very economical, I can expect a 15ml tube to last 3 months. Don't feel disappointed when you open the packaging up and come across this little tube, it is more than enough to keep you going for a few months. Although the initial purchase is quite expensive, it averages out to cost about the same as other high street products. A little tip is to buy ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Stings, causes redness and puffiness, expensive
I bought a tube of RoC Retin-ox Multi-Correxion Creme for the eyes last week in Sainsbury's. At £19.95 it was expensive, but at 35 I thought what price to try and preserve your 'youth' as long as possible! I was taken in by the recent run of adverts which promised that users will 'look 10 years younger' and that RoC 'keep their promises'. I was disappointed. I had applied the cream for the first time as directed, dabbing gently around the eye countours, ... ...puffy. They quite often sting, especially in this current hot bright weather. My skin has never been particularly sensitive before but I can only imagine that the ingredients are too strong for such a delicate area.
I will now be contact RoC (01628 822222) and asking for a refund. ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: de-hydrates, burns skin and smells foul
...wonder skin care range from RoC that promises to make you look ten years younger and wrinkle free I decided to investigate further - there's always one isn't there? Boots had a great deal on - buy two get one free on a whole range of products including the Retin-OX Correxion products which made me think I was getting something of a bargain hence I ended up with three tubes of the cream, night, day and an extra day one for luck. My first reaction ... ...the effects. I rang Roc (01628 822222 -UK) and spoke to Customer Services who I must admit were very helpful and apologetic. They are sending me a self-paid jiffy bag and will refund me in full. I just hope my face returns to normal soon. I am currenting using E45 cream and it does seem to be having a very soothing effect. ...

Quick review of RoC Retin-Ox Multi-Correxion Eyes
I bought this cream after reading about it in a magazine and I don't know how they could have given it such a good review. In fact, I don't know how they can even sell it! After using it for a few days my skin became dry and red and very sensitive (which it has never been before) I carried on for a few days to see if my skin settled down but it got so bad and hurt so much my partner binned it! ...

Luckily I have good skin, but when I saw this cream advertised I decided to try it. I was using it for 4 days, but then noticed my skin became blotchy, red and sore with raised red lumps across my cheekbone area. I have never suffered from sensitive skin before, but now my face is really sore and covered in bumps. At £24.99 for a tiny tube I felt very upset and decided to take it back to where I purchased it. The shop told me that they have had several ...

Quick review of RoC Retin-Ox Multi-Correxion Eyes
my experience with this product was fine the lady at the pharmacy where i got it explained to me that you use it daily for about a week sparingly then slow the usage down to about 3 times a week so no over exposure to the product so maybe the poorer ratings on this product could be put down to not being given enough information from there sellers ...

I have always been lucky enough to have normal skin that has never sensitive to anything I inflict on it...however after two nights of using this product I decided to stop, mainly due to the smell...horrible..smelt like damp towels, however the next morning my skin started to peel and I developed a rash across my nose and the top of my cheeks (I looked like a Red Indian!!). It then became very raised, very red and stung like mad. A week later my ... ...sore. Makeup does not hide it completely..and anyway it hurts to put anything other than E45 cream on my face
One of the things I noticed before it all went horribly wrong was that in the mornings when I washed my face the cream had not been absorbed into my skin and felt very greasy and uncomfortable as if I had smothered my face in duck fat!
I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Update 15/02/04: listening to all your comments I have ...

...the customer services department at RoC as I will be looking for a full refund on these products.
15/04/04. Here is an update on the previous review; I contacted Boots where I bought the creams and they were very concerned about the reaction that I had when using the product, they reinbursed me for the product in full plus they gave me £20-00 in vouchers to use in any Boots store. I also contacted Johnson & Johnson as they are part of the RoC group ... ...you are in your late 50's not as advertised for the mid to late 40's, they said they were sorry about the reaction and they are sending me some samples of their other products. Hope this has been some use to any one out there with the same problem.
The phone number I rang was 0845 600 4477.
20/04/04. Another update, the problem got worse, my face actually blistered where I had put the cream( my husband took some photo's which I will put on screen ...
