RoC Retinol Correction and its been very good to me. Whichever brand you go for take baby steps and not use it everyday. First two weeks go for 2 or three times a week. And watch how your skin reacts. Intially you might experience a random and small zit but it goes away. Then if you experience nothing off the wall and alarming then increase it to every other evening. And apply in sections on your face...not a lot though...too much of a good thing can backfire on you. As far as seeing results it dependly soley on if you stay on top of using it and the condition of your skin currently. I didn't see a huge difference for at least a month of solid use because when I first started I was skipping it for weeks but after awhile I realized it wasn't benefitting me at all so now its my regular rotation regardless of any other goodies I'm trying out.

I've been wanting to try the Roc Retinol. What were you targeting Shelly?

@Yanin...basically all over but what influenced me to amp it up with a retinol was the fine lines I was seeing on my forehead and keeping my enlarged pores in check.

I use prescription retinol, have for years now. Most drs will prescribe it without an issue and it works amazingly. Best thing you can do for your skin.

@Jasmine...I'm actually working my way to using prescription retinol. After I finish this tube from RoC I'll be ready for graduation. ;)

Thanks Shelley! I'm seeing fine lines already and large pores. Did it make your skin dry?

I agree with jasmine, I use prescription retinol! It's the best but do not wax your face while using retinol I learned that the ugly way!!
