RoC vs A+

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

RoC and A+ are established skincare brands that offer targeted daily solutions for diverse complexions. The French brand, founded in 1957, features nourishing glycerin and potent retinol in its serums, eye products, moisturizers, and cleansers to suit acne-prone and mature skin, while the Indian brand, founded in 1990, provides gentle moisturizers with mild compositions that suit sensitive skin best. Glycerin significantly increases skin hydration and barrier function, and retinol significantly reduces fine wrinkles and increases collagen, whereas the Indian brand relies on thoughtfully calibrated formulas to reliably support daily moisture balance. Both lines provide standout items, including the BARRIER RENEW GEL-TO-FOAM CLEANSER, the Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Max Hydration Cream, the Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream, and the 345 Relief Cream.

RoC is a French skincare brand founded in 1957 and owned by Bridgepoint Group plc since 2024.
