# Clinique vs RoC

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/clinique-vs-roc

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Australia.

Clinique and RoC are established transatlantic skincare brands founded in 1968 and 1957, respectively, offering thoughtful selections of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and eye products. The American brand is especially loved for gentle formulations featuring [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [caffeine](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/caffeine) that suit sensitive and dry skin best, whereas the French brand is beloved for targeted treatments featuring potent [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/retinol) that suit acne-prone and mature skin best. Both utilize nourishing [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin) to significantly increase hydration and restore barrier function, but differ as the former emphasizes multi-concern repair while the latter focuses heavily on [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/collagen) renewal.

Clinique is an American skincare brand founded in 1968 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc..
