RoC Multi-Correxion Eye Treatment Review

This is my first eye cream I've ever used in my entire life, and I needed a product to help me prevent the signs of aging around my eyes. It's already been a year ago, I started to notice wrinkles in my eye area. The horror it was when I saw that little wrinkle forming. It was also little dry on my eye area because of the sudden change of weather! Concerned I was, I walked to a not-so-faraway drugstore called Walgreens because I've seen commercials about women who used this product. I thought to use something "powerful" to help me combat it. I was skeptical at first, but what do I have to lose? I've never met anyone who used the RoC Multi-Correxion Eye Cream, but I am going to give this a try now before this wrinkle in eye gets even worse!

According to their website, this breakthrough formula contains an exclusive fusion of age-fighting ingredients specially formulated for the delicate eye area. RoC® MULTI CORREXION® Eye Treatment diminishes the look of dark circles and wrinkles for more luminous eyes.

Would you believe I bought this product since last year? Yes it's been a year! Around December 2011! This baby's been with me for a year and I can't believe this 15ml (0.5 fl oz) tube helped me fought that stubborn wrinkle, and help reduce my puffy eyes making me looking less tired by morning. It's a long process, and this product helped me minimize my eye problem. I forgot how much I paid for this in Walgreens, but I believe it was less than $20 because it was on sale that day.


Here's what it says on the back.

Though the package says it can be used by morning and night, I use this product when I am about to sleep. I dab a small amount of the product on my ring finger and gently dab it on my eye area. It has a white creamy consistency into it and it slides easily around the eyes. It didn't caused me any rash or redness. The scent is okay. Since it took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to write a review, the next photo I am about to show is the product itself, at the back of my hand, when the cream has turned yellow when I squeezed a pea-size out of the tube. Again, it is supposed to be white, not yellowish.

Please tell it hasn't expired yet!



I had no idea when was the expiration date because the box (thrown away a year ago) didn't indicated when. I was thinking it would take 2 years, or so before the active ingredients were worn out. I was thinking of 'saving' this eye cream as much as I can because I've never seen this product elsewhere here in the Philippines. But if there is, I bet it would be expensive! Since there's still more eye cream inside this tube, I ought to use it before changing to a different line in RoC. It's been a week or two now applying the yellow eye cream; it didn't have that awful scent, and it didn't gave me rash, redness or 'burning' feeling which I am thankful for -- but hopefully, there are still some active ingredients in it. I really hoped it wasn't expired though because I don't want to throw away such a wonderful product without using every bit of it!

This is a good product, and it helped me brighten and moisturize my eyes helping me get rid of the tired-look. It really is worth the price -- it's not that expensive, and it is easy to find in any drugstore products --- and it does work for me! I would definitely repurchase again!

I don't solely use an eye cream to help me minimize my eye problems. It is still wise to get beauty sleep around 7-8 hours at night, increase water intake, lessen rubbing of eyes, and give a good pampering once a week like putting cucumber on the eyes, or chilled green tea bags. It makes a difference! It makes me feel so relaxed.

My Blog

How I came up with the name:

Would you have guessed I just thought about my blog name, Skin-cerely Yours just yesterday afternoon? I was eating salad in my chair while brainstorming of names. I was obviously THAT excited to create a blog, and I wanted it to be something funky and fresh.

I was thinking what word(s) I can add for BEAUTY and/or SKIN because the blog I wanted to make is beauty-related. It is really easy to tell for readers what kind of blog I am in to. Minutes later, the phrase, "Sincerely Yours" (The 'closing' part of a letter) popped in my head out of nowhere! Then I realized I am already in to something... thus, the name SKIN-CERELY YOURS is born. :)

I think it has a nice touch to it on every blog I post on here out.

I LOVE IT!



Why I had to come back blogging:


I had a blogger account once were I post random stuff anything I may fancy. I don't call myself an 'active blogger', however I blog whenever I feel like it. But time came that I considered of deleting my previous blog. It was easy just like that, but soon thanks to inspiration and creativity, I decided to blog again and just have fun.




Skin-cerely Yours,

The Introduction

How I've missed blogging so much! I've been a subscriber to a lot of beauty gurus in Youtube, and have read quite a handful of blogs online to give me different perspectives on beauty products today --- and these people inspire me to create my own place in the World Wide Web where I talk skin care, writing --- and a little bit about food.

I used to shun skin-related products back in school; I have oily and acne-prone skin. I was a little boyish, and I find myself excuses thinking my skin can live up on its own without the "girly and expensive beauty products". I guess it will not surprise you if I told you I had bad acne. Yes, I had poor (or, zilch) skin regimen, and I need answers on how to get rid of them! To keep my story short, I slowly introduced myself to the "girly stuff" that I think that will help me in my acne problem. There were a lot of trials and errors, but I knew I shouldn't give up and I had to go out there and try other products, while doing my little research on how to keep skin clear and dewy.

Years forward, I am happy to see the improvements I have on my skin. I am not saying I have the perfect skin, but it did improved in so much ways. My diet and skin care regimen helped me a lot, and I am still in the lookout to try and learn more what's best for my skin in the market today -- and that's why I am eager to share my honest opinion (the good and the bad) on products I've tried, and talk about them to people who also share the same interests as I have.

I am not a beauty professional; I am an average girl who loves to shop for great skin care finds.


Skincerely Yours,
Chloe
