This ‘Magical’ Cream Provides ‘Drastic Results’ on Sun Damage & Signs of Aging—Grab It on Sale


If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

If you want to know the truth about a product, head to the reviews. You can always tell the difference between someone who’s, well, a bot, versus someone who’s genuinely excited about the product and just had to share it with the rest of the world. The latter is definitely the case with RoC’s five-in-one anti-aging moisturizer that has SPF built right in.

“I’m 47 and get told repeatedly that I have a baby face and look younger as I get older,” wrote one shopper. “This cream is my base and a staple.”

As if that review didn’t already sell me, there’s an even better one right underneath it: “This magical potion has single handedly done more for my middle aged, sun damaged skin, than anything else I’ve ever tried.”

Multiple customers report that this cream not only helped prevent future signs of aging, thanks to the SPF 30 and vitamin complex in the formula, but it actually helped to reverse existing signs of aging and damaged skin.

I’m a beauty writer and I can definitely attest: There aren’t many products on the market that can claim to do that, so you should definitely pay attention to this RoC option. The brand owes its success to its Hexyl-R Complex that contains a mix of lipids and antioxidants that targets the signs of aging four times more than competitors. Because the formula also includes shea butter, it’s gentle and hydrating on your skin, too. It can be used daily and even reapplied multiple times throughout the day after you’ve been exposed to excessive sunlight to prevent further harm.

One shopper said the results were so drastic, they immediately regretted not taking before-and-after photos. “I look 10 years younger, they added. “Just take my word for it is awesome.” If you’re looking for a product with drastic results, make sure to take your own before photos so you can compare after you’ve been using this product for a few weeks.

“People guess my age 15 years younger than I am,” wrote another shopper. “I’ve been using it about four years. Wrinkles, sags and bags are GONE! Skin firmed up, a dark patch on my jawline just vanished!” There are so many testimonies from people who were shocked that the cream helped to clear up existing damage on the skin.

The five-in-one capabilities the label promises includes improving discolorations, firming the skin, reducing dullness and restoring radiance, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and using SPF to prevent future damage. If you’re looking for an easy product to reach for and keep in your bag this summer, shoppers say you can’t go wrong with this cream that’s currently on sale for just $19.

Why Incontinence Is Not a Normal Part of Aging

Incontinence

Have you noticed how many ads on television promote the use of products for bladder control problems? And do you realize that nearly all of these ads are directed at women, even though many men experience bladder leakage, too?

While I’m grateful that these products exist, the ads often make me cringe. Typically, they portray bladder leakage (incontinence) as a normal and unavoidable part of becoming an older woman. This is far from the truth.

It is true that there are some forms of incontinence that are irreversible. However, many types of bladder control problems can improve or be corrected with proper treatment.

Today, let’s look at the three most common types of bladder incontinence and possible treatments. Note that some people experience a combination of these conditions.

Stress Incontinence

Bladder leakage occurs when you laugh, cough, sneeze, lift something heavy or during exercise. This results from weakening of the muscles that support the bladder and other pelvic organs.

The most common cause is childbirth. In addition, it can result from abdominal surgeries such as a hysterectomy.

Situations that put pressure on the bladder make it worse. Women often experience stress incontinence during pregnancy due to pressure on the bladder from the baby.

Treatments:

  • Kegel exercises are used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These can be challenging to learn, so don’t be afraid to ask your medical provider for advice.
  • A device called a pessary is worn to help support the pelvic organs.
  • If other treatments aren’t effective, surgery may be necessary.

Lifestyle changes often help decrease stress incontinence. Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is important. Carrying too much weight puts excess pressure on the bladder.

Another approach is to prevent constipation. Repeatedly straining while having a bowel movement can weaken the muscles that support the pelvic organs.

A chronic cough resulting from smoking may worsen stress incontinence. In addition, smoking increases one’s risk of developing bladder cancer.

Overflow Incontinence

If you have overflow incontinence, your bladder doesn’t empty completely. This results in dribbling of urine between trips to the toilet.

Blockages in the bladder – stones, tumors, etc. – neurological problems, weakened bladder muscles, and some medications may cause overflow incontinence.

Treatments:

  • Use of the double-voiding technique, that is, use the toilet, walk around in the bathroom for a few minutes and then try to urinate again.
  • Surgery to correct the underlying problem.
  • Intermittent catheterization (inserting and removing a catheter several times a day).

Urge Incontinence

With this condition, you feel a sudden and urgent need to urinate, and you might not make it to the toilet in time. During urge incontinence the bladder contracts involuntarily. You may have heard this referred to as overactive bladder.

A common cause of urge incontinence is a urinary tract infection. You can help prevent UTIs by wiping from front to back when using the toilet, wearing cotton underwear and drinking plenty of fluids.

Some people find that certain foods or chemicals cause bladder irritation and may worsen urge incontinence. Caffeine is one of the most common culprits. Artificial sweeteners, acidic foods or spicy foods also cause problems for certain people.

Medications are often used to treat urge incontinence. As with any medication, there are potential side effects, so be sure you understand the risks and benefits.

Lifestyle changes also may be helpful. This includes such things as using the toilet on a specific schedule and practicing relaxation techniques.

People often cut back on fluid intake believing it will reduce urge incontinence. However, this usually backfires. Overly concentrated urine becomes irritating to the lining of the bladder causing even more frequent urination.

I want to stress that a bladder control problem is not something to ignore due to embarrassment. Your physician won’t be shocked when you bring up the subject. They hear this concern frequently.

You also may wish to request a referral to a specialist. Depending on the cause of your bladder control problem, this could include a urologist, geriatrician or gynecologist.

Another great resource is a physical therapist. In my opinion, this is one of the best sources of help for bladder control issues. Unfortunately, most people aren’t even aware of this option. Look for a physical therapist with specialized training in managing incontinence.

Finally, it’s important to remember that early intervention often results in easier and more effective treatment. So, don’t put off seeking help in the hope that the problem will go away on its own.

What advice do you have for women who are beginning to experience bladder control problems? Is there a particular treatment that you’ve found helpful? Please share your tips in the comments below.
