I heard that TV's Dr. Oz advised that a wrinkle cream should have 24% Retinol in it to work. Did anyone else hear that?

Absolutely false. A cream with 1% retinol would be highly irritating to the skin if you've never used retinol before. In the pharmacy we sell 0.1% retinol to start and gradually work upwards as your skin tolerates it. 1% retinol is about equal to the lowest strength prescription equivalent.

I do not know if Dr. Oz said wrinkle cream should have 24% Retinol or not; however, I have been using it for several months and love the difference I see in my skin. It has reduced the visibility of wrinkles and has left my skin brighter and softer.

I would assume this means that the retinol is higher percentage- wise than similar products. It seems to be be working

The most retinol allowed without a prescription. I can't see how another product could be better. Not legally allowed to use 3.0% as is inferred by another product.

It say that has retinol but it doesn't say the percentage. I looked up the ingredients but I doesn't specify the percentage.

In my personal experience, every ROC product I have used has given me visible results. From what I've read, the older we get the more we need retinol (in addition to serum and alpha-hydroxy).

It doesn't specified the amount of retinol as I had hope. But I just looked it up and retinol is a simplify form of Vitamin A of which this products states clearly in the front of having 1000,000 IU per ounce. There is 2oz. in the jar so I guess it has double the amount. I hope this helps. I really do like how soft and subtle this product makes my facial skin and even the rest of my body. I've only been using it almost a month and I don't have wrinkles for being a women near 50 to be able to tell if it helps reduce wrinkles. But I'm hoping it keeps them away longer now that I'm getting older. Good Luck! It doesn't specified the amount of retinol as I had hope.

I am almost 63 years old.....I have no wrinkles.....I use the Active C on my face and they used to produce a retinol product I loved too....this a wonderful product and I use this every night....you will see a difference in the texture and brightness of your skin within a week. You do not need to use a great deal. People do not talk about how great Vitamin C is on your skin.

I was told by my dermatologist that I could use with my prescription strenght retinol product. However, it would be best to consult your doctor for advice.

I thought this product was working in the beginning. Probably I was just excited because it was new. I'm not so sure now. I don't know if I'm going to reorder or not. I'm sure it's not hurting but I honestly think there is no cream that truly firms skin. As a matter of fact I am SURE no creams firm skin. I did research on it and surgery is the only thing to pull up the skin. Personally I think the best thing to concentrate on is exfoliation. I use retinol and that has made a difference in my skin. It does not tighten the skin but makes it look a lot healthier and it builds collagen so it doesn't look weak and thin. Also I use sunscreen religiously. Anyone thinking about using retinol should be prepared to go through a lot of trial and error with it. It took me almost a year to be able to use it nightly. I'm so glad I didn't give up. I think that made the biggest improvement in my skin. I use skinceuticals 0.5. That's only the half strength formula I might try moving on to the full strength.

From what I have read, it's supposed to. I mixed 1/2 tsp of DMAE and 1/2 tsp hyaluronate powder into my generic face cream. I've used it now for about 2 weeks. I have not noticed any difference in wrinkle reduction (maybe because I have too many?). But what I have noticed is that my skin is smoother -- it just feels really good. I have no idea if adding these things is safe, but I will continue to use my new face cream and see what happens.

I thought so also. I wrote a bad review. But then I tested it and Dr. Oz was right the ingredient does take more wrinkles away better then the expensive 100.00 bottle I use all the time now I use both I use the whisperer as a top coat cream

It is a very rehydrated cream I used it every day but you will not lose 10 years with it. But you really feel the difference if you put it morning and night. I am 56 years old so no I do not look 25!! I wish but I am not wrinkle liike a regular 56 and I take 500gm of vitamins E (alpha-tocopherol) every morning and using both help me to keep a fresh look. I do not used 1 50ml a month but 1 every 2 month. Try it on your hand and you will amazed of what it does. I hope this will help. Take care

See my review of it on June 20, 2013 "Cured My Eczema." I agree w/you that sagging skin has to be surgically tightened. The moisturizing chemicals expand the skin by filling the cells with water so the face looks filled out--younger--since that is what makes the difference between older and younger human bodies. I prefer alpha hydroxy or retinol and Neutrogena is the least expensive, hypoallergenic, fast acting anti-aging creme I've found. The Night has no sunscreen, the Day is SPF 15. But there definitely is something very good in DMAE (which seems to be alcohol combined with...) that is good for the skin. I had to stop drinking coffee caffienated and the DMAE substitutes as a stimulant. See my review of it on June 20, 2013 "Cured My Eczema."

Sorry for can#t helping you. As my skin is very hard-wearing I never read the package information sheet or even the product despriction. But I found a list of ingredients here http://www.dermstore.com/product_Retinol+1.0+Maximum+Strength+Refining+Night+Cream_4505.htm. Perhaps this will help you futher on.

I do and it hasn't hurt me. I didn't think the RoC was as good at moisturizing so I chose to use it with Garnier Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Night Cream which is very good at moisturizing. It does well with that. Hope this is helpful!

The serum will do a better job than the cream as it is more concentrated. I do not use this brand , but I do use another name brand serum and I love the results. I had a bad reaction to the RoC Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, But I bet the serum may be better. The serum's are great for night use and make your face feel so smooth. Also, you can call Johnson & Johnson at 1-800-762-1964 and they can answer any questions you have about the RoC products that you have. Hope this helps.

No, it s very mild. I can only use retinol products once a week because they generally irritate my skin. However, I could use revitalift everyday, no problem. Another very good product is eucerin Co Q 10 lotion or cream. And now, just for a change, im using Carapex, with collagen. All very good. Hope i could help.
