I have decided to drink more water and eat more fruit and vegetables and lay of the chocolate.... a little at least.!!!
Ive tried umpteen different face creams recently and believe you me dont always believe the HYPE!! Many are ineffective and hugely over-priced, basically feeding of our paranoia that Father Time is about to catch up with us. Well folks in my case he has, around my eyes the wrinkles are starting to get wrinkles and I'm in panic mode......

Jean Charles developed the first total sun-block, "Roc ECran Total" thus starting the sun protection revolution. Throughout the next few decades the company went on to develop Hypo-Allergenic products including a make-up range.
By the 1980's the Liposome revolution started and was patented by the company. The company ws bought by Johnson & Johnson in 1994 and Activ-Retinol developed in 1996.
More recently the company has focused on lifting products and anti-ageing creams which we know to this day..There are currently 10 different ranges.
My Experience:
While I use 2 different products in the range I will concentrate on one. "Retin-Ox Night Cream. The product is designed to maximise the regeneration process of the skin whilst you sleep and I have to say that when I wake up my skin does feel hydrated and quite supple. Any lines I do have have not miraculously disappeared overnight, but I do feel they have been visibly reduced. The 30ml tube looks small but a little does go a long way.
The cream is lightly scented, not overpowering like some I've tried and the cream itself is light and non-greasey, at least on my skin -type. I have been using the product for a few months now and would recommend it!! It can be quite expensive but if you feel your skin is benefiting from it's use then I think its a fair price to pay. The Holy Grail of Eternal Youth it is not, but be honest what cream is? It does a good job and I'm happy with the results and I suppose thats what matters........

Value for money
Quick review of RoC Retin-Ox Night Cream
I started using the day and night creams (Retin-ox, in a tube) about 18 months ago. Having been really pleased initially, I decided that I'd "got used to the product" and tried a couple of other creams. BUT, I have now returned to the Retinox because frankly, I could see a deterioration in my skin, despite using more newly released/hyped creams (Olay and a Clinique anti-ageing product). Retinox day and night creams are best FOR ME. I recommended them to a friend but she had quite a reaction to them.
I don't think it's THAT costly. You only need a little and having tried many such creams, I have to say this one is THE ONLY ONE I'VE COME BACK TO.
It's good to be "home" !! ...
