# La Roche-Posay vs RoC

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/compare/la-roche-posay-vs-roc

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

La Roche-Posay and RoC are French skincare brands that offer nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and eye products enriched with ingredients like [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/glycerin) and soothing [thermal water](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/thermal-water). The former is loved for formulations featuring [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/niacinamide) that suit mature skin and skin with dark spots best, while the latter is fondly known for its retinol-infused care tailored for mature and dry skin. Both brands differ in their founding years, corporate ownership, and specific active ingredients, yet each provides targeted options such as cleansers for acne-prone skin and specialized treatments for dark spots.

La Roche-Posay is a French skincare brand founded in 1975 and owned by L'Oréal S.A. since 1989.

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