Retinol – The Success Of RoC Skin Care
 |
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’s original idea was to understand more about the natural processes that form our skin’s ageing process and a pivotal part of this was understanding the role of Vitamin A, which is probably the most important mineral for our skin’s health. More specifically, it was the development of a stable form of a fat-soluble form of vitamin-A – retinol – that proved key to RoC success in developing skin care products that are effective in reducing wrinkles.
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 journal published by the Archive of Dermatology played a pivotal role in supporting the claim that ‘topical retinol improves fine wrinkles associated with the natural ageing.’ This gave credibility to what RoC claimed to have achieved and this has in part formed the basis of the success with their retinol anti-ageing skin care product lines.
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 RoC brand is now part of the large pharmaceutical corporation Johnson & Johnson and continues to see healthy growth in its success in the skin care industry.
