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

RoC and Trilogy are two celebrated skincare lines known for thoughtful formulations that address a range of complex needs. The French brand, founded in 1957, is fondly loved for its expertly formulated serums, eye products, moisturizers, cleansers, and more, enriched with proven ingredients like glycerin and retinol to suit mature and dry skin. Meanwhile, the second brand offers thoughtful moisturizers and gentle cleansers built on high-performing formulas that suit dry, balanced, and sensitive skin types best.
