Being the wrong side of 40, it has become apparent that a little TLC and facial care are in order. I have to say that if Botox could be afforded then I'd be first in the queue, unfortunately the monies arent avaliable and another solution is currently being sought.......
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......
A friend recommended Roc products, which I had heard of but deemed too expensive, so I asked my husband to buy me some for Mothers Day and I haven't looked back.
THE ROC ETHOS/HISTORY....
The company was founded back in 1957 by a Parisian pharmacist, Jean-Charles Lissarrague. the company ethos was to produce non-perfumed products as there was a demand within Parisian Theatres for more sensitive products othe than heavy creams and stage make-up...
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........
