# Simple vs RoC

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/simple-vs-roc

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

Simple and RoC are established skincare brands offering specialized formulations for diverse complexions. The British brand is beloved for gentle moisturizers, makeup removers, cleansers, and toners that thoughtfully incorporate [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/niacinamide) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin), suiting acne-prone and mature skin best. Meanwhile, the French brand is fondly loved for expertly formulated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), eye products, moisturizers, cleansers, and more, all enriched with proven ingredients like glycerin and [retinol](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/retinol) to suit mature and dry skin best. While both brands harness glycerin to improve hydration and barrier function, Simple utilizes niacinamide to reduce hyperpigmentation, whereas RoC relies on retinol to reduce fine wrinkles and increase [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/collagen).

Simple is a British skincare brand founded in 1960 and owned by Unilever PLC since 2011.
