A derivative of vitamin A, retinol reduces the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles while complementing the skin’s natural processes to diminish the appearance of pore size. The RoC brand pioneered stabilized retinol for skincare use. It’s also the #1 dermatologist-recommend age-fighting ingredient.

Retinol works deep within the skin’s surface to reveal renewed, fresher-looking skin. As we age, the skin’s renewal process slows down, and skin can become duller. Retinol helps remove old, dull skin cells on the surface to reveal fresher, healthier-looking skin. Retinol skincare can make a significant impact on skin’s appearance.

RoC® Retinol is the most effective retinoid available without a prescription. The retinol technology used by the RoC brand stems from many years of research. From the beginning, RoC products set very high standards in clinical testing. The RoC brand’s scientists’ unparalleled expertise in harnessing the anti-aging power of retinol has resulted in the development of products proven to significantly diminish signs of aging. Dermatologists often refer to retinol as the "gold standard" anti-aging ingredient because it is widely available and has decades of research demonstrating its effectiveness.

RoC products are formulated and manufactured following strict guidelines and subjected to rigorous tests. This ensures they reach you in perfect condition and perform exactly as they were designed to give optimal results. Every ingredient is carefully chosen for their effectiveness and safety-minimizing the risk of allergies. Everyone’s skin responds differently. If you have any concerns, we recommend you consult your physician and try the product in a smaller area first.

If you’re new to Retinol, we suggest slowly introducing it into your routine. We encourage you to follow the package instructions and suggest you patch-test our products in a small area first. Start with one product and apply every other day for the first two weeks. Here are some ways to make the most of its benefits:

• START EARLY - Early use of Retinol products can actually help to combat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles before they become apparent, so your skin stays looking younger and healthier.

• START SLOWLY - When you start with Retinol, minor skin irritation may occur- that’s normal. So, begin with a small amount every other day for about two weeks. Then, gradually increase usage.

• SLEEP ON IT - Take advantage of your skin’s night renewal process by making RoC Retinol products a part of your nighttime regimen.

• STICK WITH IT - It is most important to be consistent – benefits are seen over time. Should you wish to use multiple Retinol products, we do not recommend layering products at once but can be used at different times of your day/night regimen.

Retinol products can be safely used on sunny days. A formula containing SPF will provide adequate protection from the sun’s rays.

If you have concerns about skin sensitivities, we recommend conducting a patch test by applying a small amount of product to the inside of your wrist or neck overnight. If the product is well-tolerated, use it every other night for at least two weeks. After this initial period, you can gradually increase the frequency of use until you're using it regularly in your routine.

In 1955, the RoC brand was the first to develop a pure and stabilized form of Vitamin A called Retinol, which was used to visibly reduce wrinkles.

RoC uses the highest standard of pure, stabilized retinol in our Retinol Correxion products, which are known to be highly effective with clinically proven results. The exact percentage of retinol varies across our line.

Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that addresses multiple skin concerns, especially dullness. It’s proven to brighten your complexion, improve your skin’s elasticity and even skin tone, and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles in your complexion. With its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C also protects and defends your skin from environmental aggressors, making this ingredient a multi-tasking powerhouse in your skincare routine.

Integrating Vitamin C into your skincare regimen can result in a noticeable brightening and tightening of the skin. Additionally, Vitamin C has been shown to help prevent the occurrence of dark spots and maintain skin firmness.

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule essential for skin hydration and can attract water to your skin. Your skin naturally produces Hyaluronic Acid, keeping it plump and hydrated

Hyaluronic Acid replenishes hydration levels in the skin to achieve a visibly plumper, firmer complexion. Like a sponge, it locks in moisture for a visibly plump, smooth, and healthy appearance.

The two compounds work effectively when paired together. Hyaluronic acid is used to hydrate the skin, and retinol is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. When layered together, this combination visibly boosts skin’s firmness by 1.5X and increases Hyaluronic Acid levels by 7X for visibly smoother skin.

Hexyl-R Complex is a naturally occurring lipid, clinically proven to be four times more effective than a leading ingredient in visibly improving skin tone – including the look of age spots. Hexyl-R Complex™ also possesses antioxidant benefits to protect your skin from environmental damage and mild astringent properties.

As we age, our skin experiences biological stress that degrades its support network of collagen and elastin, leading to visible signs of aging. Hexyl-R Complex improves a wide range of the key signs of aging, including wrinkles and fine lines, loss of firmness and elasticity, and loss of radiance and evenness of skin tone caused by biological stress.

Swertiamarin is a bioactive molecule known for its regenerative properties and extraordinary ability to quickly repair damaged skin.

This skin-renewing ingredient supports the rapid formation of new surface layers to re-volumize, resurface, and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It works in the top layers of the skin to kickstart cell turnover to re-volumize skin and reduce the look of surface lines and wrinkles.

All ingredients in RoC products are carefully selected for efficiency and safety. If you have specific skin allergy concerns, we recommend checking directly with a dermatologist before adding any new products to your routine.

A good skincare routine usually involves a combination of cleansing, treating, moisturizing, and protecting your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. Your skincare routine may vary depending on your skin type and concerns, and you may also incorporate other steps such as exfoliation or eye cream. The key is to find a routine that works for you and to be consistent with it for healthy, glowing skin.

The general rule is to wait about 1-2 minutes between applying different skincare products. This allows each product to be absorbed and prevents them from mixing on the skin, ensuring optimal effectiveness.
