RoC Skincare RoC Multi Correxion Revive and Glow Daily Serum
Works for
MoisturizingNonapeptide-1, Glycerin + 1 moreWorks well
“Gentle and ideal for daily use, the Revive and Glow serum contains an active 10% blend of RoC’s most potent vitamin C in a highly stable form, along with peptides, antioxidants and hydrating ingredients for enhanced delivery.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: nonapeptide-1
Anti-agingNonapeptide-1, 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acidMay help
“100% had a reduction in lines & wrinkles.”
This product contains nonapeptide-1. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin tone3-o-ethyl ascorbic acidMay help
“93% had a more even skin tone.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-blemishNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, Polygonum aviculare extract + 1 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (polygonum aviculare extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

As a vitamin C serum it is not really efficient, I did not repurchase it. There was no improvement on my skin, the vitamin C serum from Biotherm or LRP were perfection.
