I've used this periodically at night. I do have sensitive skin.I'll echo what a previous poster said - why the need to add fragrance? The product irritates my skin (I use the sensitive night cream), and has a very strong masking perfume to it, but that leaves me to question whether I am having a reaction to the Retinol or whether it's the overpowering fragrance. I have been known to react to strong fragrances on my face, and as such typically avoid them. Had I known this would be so overpowering, I'd have avoided it altogether.My biggest problem with Roc is that I've found absolutely no published information regarding the percentage of Retinol you are getting in each of their products. So, to ASSUME that any potential reaction is actually from the Retinol in the product, especially given the heavy perfumy fragrance, is questionable. Having never used Retinol products before, I am in the dark.I am switching to Afirm 2x - a product with .30% Retinol (other available formulas are Afirm 1x, .15% Retinol for very sensitive skin, as well as Afirm 3x, .60% Retinol for more tolerant skin) -- at least this way I can better gauge the amount of Retinol my skin can handle without worrying about unnecessary strong masking fragrances irritating my skin.In the list of ingredients, "Fragrance" is listed as the 21st ingredient, and Retinol is the 34th of a total of 38 ingredients, if I counted them all correctly. What this tells me is that there is more fragrance in the product than there is Retinol. For purposes of fact, ingredients are listed in order of highest concentration to lowest. Roc fails to provide us with the final concentration of Retinol. What a shame.I'm not a doctor, but as a consumer, I'll share my opinions based on my own research:I've come across various claims that the product "prepares" you for Retinoids. Meaning, you use this product before switching to actual retinoic acid products (i.e. Retin-A). With either Retinol or Retinoic Acids, your skin learns to tolerate increased dosages over time, with the lessening of negative side effects in the long term.I would suggest to anyone interested in anti-aging products to perform their own research on the differences between Retinol vs. Retinoic Acid.Facts on Retinol vs. Retinoic Acid (aka Retin-A):Retin-A is one of several brand names on the market for "tretinoin" also referred to as "trans-retinoic acid" or simply "retinoic acid".Retinol, on the other hand, is simply a form of Vitamin A and has a less direct effect on the skin than retinoic acid.(Another fact: Vitamins A & D are the ONLY vitamins that can be absorbed by the skin. Vitamin E simply sit on the surface, thereby acting as an emulsifier or moisturizer, but application of Vitamin E onto the skin provides zero benefits in terms of vitamin absorption. So don't think that buying a Vitamin E skin cream is benefitting your vitamin E intake requirements).While Retinol has fewer side effects, it also takes longer to see visible results as opposed to prescription based retinoic acid. In other words, Retinol is simply less effective than retinoic acid. High concentrations of Retinol can be just as irritating as retinoic acid products, however.Some people alleviate the side effects (dryness and peeling) of retinoic acids with the increased use of moisturizers (moisturizers with hyaluronic acids are beneficial as hyaluronic acids help to hydrate the skin). So, if your skin can tolerate retinoic acid and you learn the dosage that works for you, you are likely better off using retinoic acid products as opposed to Retinols, if you are seeking faster and more visible results. The only caveat being that Retinol products are available over the counter, whereas Retin-A products (retinoic acid) are by prescription only.The bottom line:Since Roc doesn't tell us what percentage of Retinol the consumer is actually getting, coupled with the hefty price tag, and the fact that the not-so-pleasant fragrance is overpowering (and completely unnecessary, especially in a sensitive skin product - wth?), I'm giving this two stars.My "blind" assumption is that I'm having a reaction to the high concentration of fragrance as opposed to the UNKNOWN concentration of Retinol.If anyone says there is little or no scent to this product, I'd suggest that their sense of smell must have been severely impaired by a cold or some other ailment. The smell reminds me of a bottle of age-old cold cream in your grandmother's boudoir.

I just started using this product 5 days ago and figured I would let ladies w/sensative skin know...This stuff does not sting in the slightest bit and seems to be working. It is still too early to tell if its helping my fine lines but I am hopeful. If anyone is like me regular retinol or like products really messes up my skin, they sting, dry my face out and do more damage than good. Well, ROC seems to have helped me find a promising product. I used it the first night and found absolutly no sting, when I woke up the next morning I had absolutly no redness and my face seemed a slight bit more "plumped" so I knew it hydrated!! The insert says start off every few nights then work up to every night, well I decided to use it the very next night and even put a small amount on my under-eye skin, I was mindeful not to put it too close to the eye nor did I put it on my eyelid, but I had zero watery eyes and no redness and the skin under my eyes looked pretty hydrated when I woke up the next morning. I saw someone on here mentioned the "odor" of the cream was very overpowering, well I would like to say I have one of those smells where I am bothered by lots of odors, this has a very slight odor (as do most creams), it was not perfumie nor over powering, as soon as the cream is rubbed in I dont notice any odor at all..so dont be worried about that. I am 5 days into using ROC Sensitive night cream and have used it nightly w/absolutly no adverse reactions and so far it feels though my skin is getting hydration back. I don't know about helping my lines yet but I know any real results take about 4 weeks after starting a new product..But I really am hopeful. Sensitive skin? Looking for a Retinol product? I seriously would give this ROC product a try..Now I just wish I had ordered it from Amazon, would have saved me atleast $10. at the store!! So far I am happy :)
