French pharmacist Jean-Charles Lissarrague had the original vision for RoC skin care during the'50's. Lissarrague got together a team of dermatology specialists to help research anti-ageing skin technologies. This research provided the foundation for what are now some of the most effective anti-ageing skin care products on the market.
Lissarrague was confident that a breakthrough could be made for successfully interacting with the natural processes that form our skin's ageing process but it was not until the late'80's that RoC were able to develop a stable form of what is reputed to be the most successful skin care component to actively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines - Retinol.
RoC did not invent Retinol - an animal fat-soluble form of vitamin A discovered earlier this century - but instead were able to develop a form that remained stable during the lifetime of a skin care cream.
A report published in the Archive of Dermatology journal publicized the results of clinical tests that gave scientific credibility that 'topical retinol improves fine wrinkles associated with the natural ageing.'
Anti-ageing products containing retinol did not appear on the shelves of Boots and other health and beauty care stores until the early 90's when RoC had its patents on Retinol approved.
The RoC product range has now firmly established itself as one of the most effective and successful skin care ranges available in the skin care market with the bold claim that "skin appeared 10 years younger based on the diminished appearance of wrinkles after 12 weeks of use in clinical testing of either RETINOL CORREXION Deep Wrinkle Night Cream or Deep Wrinkle Serum".
The brand is now owned by the American pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson and continues to see growth in its share of the skin care and cosmetic industry. - 30246
