Founded in 2000 by Stanford-trained Dermatologists, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, Rodan + Fields was envisioned to give people the best skin of their lives — and the confidence that comes with it. Our company was acquired in 2003 by the Estée Lauder Companies who placed the R+F skincare Regimens in department stores. In 2007, the founding doctors made the unprecedented move to leave retail stores and buy the company back. Believing that word-of-mouth is an authentic way to share information about our products, our doctors relaunched under the name Rodan + Fields in 2008 using a Consumer Connected Commerce business model. In 2022, Rodan + Fields launched into the haircare category – the best of your life starts at the root. Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields'​ commitment to making the world better inspired them to found the Rodan + Fields Prescription for Change Foundation, which gives young people access to life-changing empowerment programs.
