Sarah Jessica Parker is a fan, too.
The first time I came across RoC was at a pharmacy in Beirut. I was perusing the aisles and asked the shopkeeper what she recommended. She told me I couldn’t go wrong with RoC. I’d originally wanted something that felt girlier with prettier packaging, but I’m glad I listened to her advice. The utilitarian almost clinical packaging is indicative of the incredibly effective nature of its products, which has earned it a celebrity fanbase that includes its spokesperson Sarah Jessica Parker and Vera Wang.
You could close your eyes and pick out any great product from RoC, or be more precise and go with the Derm Correxion Advanced Retinol Contour Cream which (with a coupon) is $22 during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale event.

This RoC cream’s name is a mouthful, but it's reflective of how effective and multitasking it is. This deeply penetrating cream purportedly helps sculpt, define, firm, and subtly lift the face. It’s applied all over, but it’s really meant to target your neck, the contours of your face, and jawline.
The key players here are retinol, hyaluronic acid, and swertiamarin. The first is a type of vitamin A that triggers certain responses in your skin that help combat the signs of aging including wrinkles, age spots, and uneven texture. Hyaluronic acid is quite complementary because it counteracts the drying properties of retinol by providing intense moisture and suppleness. Lastly there is swertiamarin; one study found that combats inflammation associated with conditions like rosacea. RoC claims that the ingredient adds volume back to the face counteracting the saggy, deflated aspects of aging skin.
One of the 500-plus five-star shoppers wrote, “I canceled a Botox appointment because of this… [I saw] softened lines around eyes and lips, [and it] firms and tones.” A 70-year-old shopper “didn’t expect” to see such a “marked difference in the skin on [their] neck and face.” Another reviewer said they saw “profile lifting and chest smoothing,” after using RoC’s Derm Correxion Contour Cream.
