RoC® Skincare Celebrates Sixth Annual National Retinol Day with Appointment of First-Ever Chief Dermatologist and Triple Serum Innovation

Building on nearly 70 years of clinical expertise, the #1 retinol brand in the U.S.* names Dr. Angela Lamb as Chief Dermatologist and celebrates the new Retinol Correxion^® Line Smoothing Triple Serum.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomorrow, November 7th, RoC^® Skincare, a leader in clinically proven skincare and a pioneer in retinol innovation, celebrates National Retinol Day, a national calendar day first established by the brand in 2021.

As the first brand to stabilize retinol in a skincare product, RoC is commemorating the holiday by elevating its medical leadership and continuing to advance its retinol science. The brand has officially named board-certified dermatologist and longtime brand partner Dr. Angela Lamb as RoC's first-ever Chief Dermatologist. In this expanded role, Dr. Lamb will spearhead RoC's Dermatologist Advisory Board and lead the RoC Longevity Council, embedding dermatological insights directly into clinical trial design, product formulation, and consumer education.

"Having advised RoC for years, their commitment to clinical rigor is what made this next step so natural," says Dr. Lamb, board-certified NYC dermatologist. "Stepping in as Chief Dermatologist means being involved much earlier in the pipeline. I'm working directly on formulation and clinical study design with the Research & Development team to ensure real-world dermatological insights shape every product from the ground up."

As Chief Dermatologist, Dr. Lamb will play a vital role in advancing RoC Skincare's scientific leadership, collaborating closely with the Research & Development team to elevate clinical testing protocols to new standards. Beyond guiding product launches, she will help lead key initiatives such as the brand's Dermatologist Advisory Board and Longevity Council, while driving consumer education as an expert contributor on rocskincare.com and across all brand channels.

Democratizing Next-Generation Retinol

Coinciding with Dr. Lamb's appointment, RoC is advancing its age-defying portfolio with its latest breakthrough in retinol technology: the Retinol Correxion^® Line Smoothing Triple Serum. Inspired by aesthetic medicine and prestige micro-droplet technology, each bottle features over 1,000 bursting micro-bubbles suspended in a hydrating serum base.

The multi-action formula combines three key ingredients to help skin look younger for longer: 

• Encapsulated RoC Clinical Retinol: Suspended in micro-droplets to support visible skin renewal and visibly smooth deep lines. 
• PDRN: Inspired by ingredients used in aesthetic procedures, this ginseng-derived ingredient is formulated to visibly smooth skin.
• Hyaluronic B5 Jelly Base: A bouncy, hydrating jelly that combines Hyaluronic Acid with soothing Vitamin B5 to visibly plump and smooth dry skin. 

Formulated with the complex reality of aging skin in mind, the Triple Serum is clinically proven to address seven visible markers of aging: lines, uneven texture, dullness, lack of smoothness, loss of suppleness, lack of softness, and dryness:

• In Minutes: 100% of subjects had visibly smoother skin.**
• In 1 Week: 96% had 7 visible signs of aging reduced.***
• In 4 Weeks: Skin age was visibly reduced by 7 years.****

"Retinol is a highly effective ingredient, yet extremely sensitive to light and air, so we locked the retinol in micro-droplets in our patent-pending Triple Serum formula and combined it with advanced hydrating and restorative complexes," says Art Pellegrino, Chief Scientific Officer at RoC Skincare.

The Triple Serum is available now at retailers nationwide and online at rocskincare.com. To read Dr. Lamb's expert skincare guides and learn more about RoC's latest retinol innovations, visit rocskincare.com.
