RoC Cosmetics is the brand of beauty and science.  It was founded in France in 1957 with an emphasis on cosmetics for women suffering from problematic skin. RoC is one of the first brands to use retinol, a very effective anti-aging ingredient.  In 1943, pharmacist Jean-Charles Lissarrague started managing a Parisian Roge Cavailles pharmacy which specialized in dermatology.  In the beginning of the1950s he developed the first fragrance-free skin care formula which led to the established name Roge Cavailles Pharmacy.

Jean-Charles Lissarrague has always put effort in combining beauty with pharmaceutical sources and has been known as a beauty care visionary.  Thanks to his pharmaceutical knowledge and experience, he was able to incorporate the most effective ingredients in his products which ultimately led to amazing results.  The brand’s philosophy is that every woman desires beautiful skin.  RoC has introduced a range of innovations with key discoveries like vitamin A (Retinol), THPE (Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine) and E-Pulse. The brand has also introduced sun-protection products.  The most recent discovery of RoC is using bioelectricity to fight skin-aging.  The carefully picked ingredients follow two main criteria---effectiveness and safety to prevent allergic reactions by providing all skin types with gentle care.  The products undergo careful clinical testing by scientists and dermatologists.  RoC puts all its effort into women’s beauty support and ensures that the application of its products will be an enjoyable experience.  By adding passion and attention to details, RoC products represent cosmetic art.
