More details
Founded in 1957 at the Rogé Cavaillès pharmacy in Paris, RoC® is a brand like no other. It's a pioneer. A visionary. At a time when dermocosmetics was still in its infancy, Dr. Jean-Charles Lissarrague, a pharmacist convinced that science could bring lasting improvements to skin quality, laid the foundations for an extraordinary dermatological adventure. His ambition was simple, yet revolutionary: to create effective, well-tolerated skin care products adapted to the most demanding skins. Thus was born the very first hypoallergenic skin care product, paving the way for a new era of trust between skin and cosmetics.
From the outset, RoC® distinguished itself by its rigorous scientific approach, based on clinical observation and a detailed understanding of skin mechanisms. The brand has never followed trends: it has created them. As early as the 1960s, RoC® innovated with the first broad-spectrum UV protection, anticipating the sun's central role in skin ageing. Today, this intuition has become a dermatological certainty. But the major innovation that would make RoC® history was undoubtedly the stabilization of retinol, an active ingredient recognized at the time for its anti-aging potential, but reputed to be unstable and irritating.
Where others saw a limitation, RoC® saw an opportunity. By combining retinol with antioxidants such as vitamin E and developing protective packaging, the brand became the first to offer a retinol-based skin care product that was effective, stable and suitable for everyday use. A major breakthrough that has transformed the treatment of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. Since then, RoC Retinol® has become a worldwide benchmark, acclaimed by dermatologists and backed by 100% clinically proven results.
This scientifically rigorous approach has been developed in close collaboration with healthcare professionals. From the outset, RoC® has worked closely with leading dermatologists to understand the skin right down to its cellular mechanisms. These partnerships have enabled us to develop targeted formulas capable of acting where the skin really needs them. The result? Skin care products that don't just promise, but prove - with clinical studies to back them up - their ability to smooth, firm, even out, moisturize and revive skin radiance.
This ongoing quest for excellence has earned RoC® over 180 international awards for innovation, performance and tolerance. But beyond the awards, it's the trust of our users that is the real strength of the brand. Women - and men - of all ages, who see their skin evolve and transform, regaining comfort and vitality with each successive routine. Because RoC® is not aimed at one age, but at all stages of the skin's life.
Finally, RoC® is part of a modern, responsible vision of beauty. The brand is 100% animal cruelty-free and officially recognized by PETA's Global Beauty Without Bunnies program. Each formula undergoes rigorous safety and efficacy testing, sometimes for more than a year, to guarantee long-lasting results. At RoC®, performance never happens by chance: it's the fruit of science, patience and a total commitment to the skin.

An expert, innovative, cutting-edge, recognized and reassuring brand, combining scientific research, clinical efficacy and respect for the skin. An essential reference for those who want to invest in serious, measurable and profoundly transformative anti-aging skincare.

Thanks to this diversity of galenic formulations - creams, serums, capsules, lotions, foams, sticks or sprays - RoC® makes it possible to build a made-to-measure routine, adapted to every age, every skin type and every beauty objective.
