# RoC vs Vasanti

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

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

RoC and Vasanti are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to daily care, with the former founded in France in 1957 and the latter established in Canada in 1999. RoC is fondly loved for its expertly formulated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), eye products, moisturizers, and cleansers enriched with [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin) and [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/retinol), while Vasanti is cherished for its gentle exfoliants and meticulously balanced formulas. The French brand suits mature skin and dry skin best, providing deeply nourishing care that addresses aging and dryness through standout options like the BARRIER RENEW(R) GEL-TO-FOAM CLEANSER, the Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Max Hydration Cream, and the Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream. Meanwhile, the Canadian brand suits balanced, combination, and sensitive skin types best, delivering reliable results through thoughtful formulations such as the Brighten Up! Exfoliator for acne-prone skin. While both brands target specific concerns effectively, they differ primarily in their ingredient focus and ideal skin types, with the former utilizing glycerin and retinol for mature and dry skin, and the latter renewing the complexion with gentle exfoliants for balanced, combination, and sensitive skin.

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