# Anua vs RoC

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/anua-vs-roc

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

Anua and RoC are skincare brands known for crafting diverse ranges of moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), toners, cleansers, and eye products. Anua is a Korean line established in 2019 that features [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [heartleaf](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/heartleaf), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit dry and oily acne-prone skin. RoC is a French line founded in 1957 that utilizes [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) and [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/retinol) to care for mature and dry skin. While both brands offer targeted solutions, they differ in their heritage and primary active ingredients.

Anua is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2019 and owned by The Founders Inc..
