Heard the buzz loud over the anti-aging benefits of Retinol but have sensitive skin? If your skin gets red just at the mention of the word, the RoC line has one for the eye and one for the face just for you. RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream ($22.99/.5oz) and RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream ($22.99/1oz) will help with wrinkles and lines and the prices on both are phenomenal. Both @ drugstore.com.

Will you become a Retinol user now?

The Johnson & Johnson line recently unveiled some new technology that they’re using is some of their products. CYTOMIMIC Technology was created to mimic the body’s own cell-to-cell communication. Think of this process as your skin’s cells on the telephone with each other and over time these telephone wires get weaker and the communication can slow down. With this technology, it mimics this activity to make sure that the telephone lines are staying strong or rather your skin is getting all the nutrients to help fight the aging process.

They’ve harnessed this technology in a few of their products including ones from NEUTROGENA, RoC and AVEENO. The only one I’ve tried so far is RoC’s Day Rejuvenating Moisturizer SPF 20 ($42.99 @ walgreens.com).  It’s a two-step process consisting of an activating serum and a rejuvenating cream and they claim you will see results in just a week but I’d say more like 5 weeks or so. I wouldn’t say it did away with the wrinkles around my eyes but it for sure makes them less noticeable to me. And kudos for the nice high SPF number!

Have you tried any of the Neutrogena, Aveeno or RoC products with this new technology? Do tell in the comments!

I think what sold me on ROC’s Daily Microdermabrasion Cleaning Disks ($9.99/24 pads @ walgreens.com) is the fact that you have so much control by being able to slip a few fingers inside it. Let’s look at it from all sides, haha. This is a finger-pocket face cleaner. There’s the Crystal side, which contains their own ingredient Crystalex (micro-crystals that gently provide gentle microdermabrasion action) and the Diamond Side, which contains ridges that exude moisturizers while you cleanse. It claims a lot of anti-aging benefits but like I said above, the engineering of it and choice between sides is what fascinated me with this one. The size of the pad is nice at a little over 3” around but I wish these were reusable. It just seems like a waste to use such a nicely manufactured item one time only to be thrown in the trash. Although these were a treat to use, I don’t think I’ll be buying it again. Just too wasteful.
