“The RoC Multi Correxion Revive and Glow Anti-Ageing Unifying Cream is a rich facial moisturiser, formulated to improve the appearance of wrinkles, skin tone, texture and hyperpigmentation.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
anhydroxylitol, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, ethylhexyl palmitate.

“Multi Correxion Revive + Glow Anti-Ageing Unifying Cream Rich”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient hexylresorcinol might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
Evens skin tone2 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“The RoC Multi Correxion Revive and Glow Anti-Ageing Unifying Cream is a rich facial moisturiser, formulated to improve the appearance of wrinkles, skin tone, texture and hyperpigmentation.”
This product contains ingredients (hexylresorcinol) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · 4 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
This product contains antioxidants (hexylresorcinol) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
