65 YEARS OF INNOVATION
1 FOCUS: YOU
Since 1957, RoC® ingenuity has brought true innovation to skincare. It began with the first-ever hypoallergenic skincare formulations, developed by Dr. Jean-Charles Lissarrague, a pharmacist at Pharmacie Rogé Cavaillès in Paris.
This was the first of multiple groundbreaking collaborations with dermatologists over the years, leading to the development of revolutionary products, ingredients and technologies. Dr. Lissarrague believed in innovative skincare solutions based on advanced science to help women defy their age and feel their absolute best, day after day.
For more than 65 years, innovation through collaboration has been at the heart of all we do at RoC®.
After all, it has inspired a legacy of firsts…
A LEGACY OF FIRSTS
Beginning in 1960, RoC® scientists developed the first broad spectrum UV protection in a sunscreen to proactively prevent signs of aging. Their fervent dedication to skincare innovation led to the invention of a method for stabilizing Retinol, an industry first – and to this day the greatest skin-aging discovery in the history of skincare.
By combining Retinol with other ingredients like Vitamin E and delivering it in pioneering packaging that preserved its efficacy, RoC® offered the first over-the-counter Retinol product, making it possible for daily use – and for women everywhere to recapture a smoother and healthy-looking complexion.
UV sunscreen and Retinol were just the beginning. RoC® continues to imagine, innovate, and invent new formulas and technologies with the power to address your skin concerns – from dryness, dullness and dark spots to visible wrinkles and other complexion irregularities.
Our ongoing commitment is to develop the products you need to look and feel your best at every age and every stage of your life.
