Roc Skincare has launched its Barrier Renew Collection. 

 

Developed in partnership with eight multidisciplinary dermatologists, the new innovations combine ceramides, antioxidants and prebiotics in a new, easy-to-use AM/PM routine for all ages and skin types.

 

Roc learned through research that only 23% of consumers use an AM/PM skincare routine, yet 70% take a daily vitamin supplement. In additional research, Roc discovered that skin irritation is a key reason for failing to develop a healthy regimen, with 61% being worried that products will damage or irritate their skin. The study also revealed that more than 50% of consumers believe they have sensitive skin, with the root of this skin concern being a damaged barrier.

 

Based on these insights, Roc created Barrier Renew via a multi-year research and development program in partnership with an advisory board of dermatologists whose understanding of patient needs helped them formulate skincare with a breakthrough approach to work deeper within the skin barrier. Board certified dermatologists on the advisory board who collaborated on this collection include: Dr. Joshua Zeichner, New York, NY; Dr. Melissa K. Levin, New York, NY; Muneeb Shah, New York, NY; Dr. Nkem Ugonabo, New York, NY; and Dr. Wendy Lee, professor of clinical ophthalmology & dermatology specializing in oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, Miami, FL.

The three-step collection includes a gel-to-foam cleanser with ceramides, antioxidant green tea, and glycerin; a morning moisturizer with SPF 30 and prebiotics; and an evening moisturizer with lipo peptides. All contain key barrier-essential building blocks, formulated to fundamentally unlock long-term healthy skin, and are ultra-lightweight, fragrance- and paraben-free, hypoallergenic, sheer and won't clog pores.

 

“Most of the skin issues that I see are a result of a damaged skin barrier, so it was important that we not only offered a simple three-step routine containing skin-identical Ceramides, but that we also optimally formulated these products with ingredients such as antioxidant green tea, glycerin, prebiotics and lipo peptides to increase their effectiveness,” said Dr. Muneeb Shah. “The combination of these ingredients within the Barrier Renew collection work within the skin, so consumers can effectively and easily retrain and maintain their best skin barrier health.”

 

While the brand is known for proving every product in clinical studies, Barrier Renew is the most clinically tested product line RoC has launched. Tested in multiple dermatologist-supervised clinical studies on over 400 patients of all skin types, tones and textures, the three-step collection proved to be highly effective both individually and as a regimen. Clinically proven to retrain and maintain the skin's barrier, the outermost layer of skin responsible for protecting the body from infections, harsh chemicals, allergens and toxins, the combined regimen reduces redness in just 14 days. Over four weeks, it also improves the sensitivity threshold of the skin to reduce the recurrence of redness, resulting in skin that looks and feels healthier.
