I have used La Roche Posay products for years. I love how good their products are for sensitive skin. I reviewed two of their Effaclar products that promise to ace your base and leave you with photo ready skin.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+] (£15.50) is both intensely hydrating and soothing. It is also lightweight, sinking into the skin as if it was never there. My skin really loved this. It has perfect texture and really does the job. It is also a brilliant base for make-up.

The non-sticky, melt-in formula is clinically proven to correct the appearance of blemishes, while unclogging blocked pores, controlling shine and refining the skin’s texture. Most importantly, the award-winning formula accelerates the skin’s repair process and contains anti-inflammatory Niacinamide to intensely soothe, while LHA and Salicylic Acid work to gently exfoliate the skins’ surface for a smooth, blemish-free finish.

I love BB creams. I fell out of love with heavy foundation years ago. Some BB cream on areas of concern is all most women need. This is a great mousse formula that sinks into skin and feels great going on. It doesn’t sit on the skin but leaves it shine-free and looking good. This has now replaced my usual BB cream. It feels so velvety and smooth and it leave my skin looking refreshed.

Even out skin tone and blur the appearance of pores, blemishes and fine lines with La Roche-Posay Effaclar BB Blur (£16.50). This new generation skincare hybrid absorbs oil for a flawless complexion. Specifically tailored for oily skin, BB Blur provides day-long control of
shine with Aircilium, a cutting-edge ingredient that is 3 times its weight in oil, keeping the skin matte and unified with a velvet finish.Furthermore, added ingredient Perlite, which is composed of silica is 5 times more powerful than talc and protects against humidity with its continuous blotting paper effect.

All products are suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight Review

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight

I am a fan of La Roche-Posay. I always find their products are good to my skin. The Toleriane Ultra Overnight is for sensitive skin, combining powerful antioxidant with soothing active ingredients. I have been using this for a few months now and I am a huge fan. It is lightweight on skin and sinks in well. It really hydrates and soothes. It has made a difference to my skin, making it less dry and healthier. It is very soothing and I notice a difference in my skin if I forget to apply it. I would definitely buy this. It is a great product and the price is reasonable. I also love the packaging, which is air-tight to protect it. Great stuff.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Overnight review

TOLERIANE ULTRA OVERNIGHT (£17.50) 
NEW for 2016, La RochePosay introduces breakthrough night care to help hyper-sensitive skin feel ready to face the day in comfort. Adhering to La RochePosay’s strict minimal formulation charter and air-tight packaging to protect its purity, Toleriane Ultra Overnight combines a powerful antioxidant duo with soothing active ingredients to minimise discomfort, giving sensitive skin what it needs to help repair itself, overnight.
SENSITIVE SKIN IS AN INCREASINGLY COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG UK WOMEN, WITH SUFFERERS EXPERIENCING A RANGE OF UNPLEASANT SYMPTOMS.
Even during sleep, sensitive skin has no respite. People with sensitive skin can sometimes wake up and feel like their skin is already irritated and uncomfortable before the day has even started. Signs of discomfort can include tingling, tightness, itching, stinging and even a burning feeling. Delivering intensive relief and hydration to sensitive, reactive skin. Tested on even the most allergy-prone skin, the TOLERIANE range contains a high tolerance formula with a minimal number of ingredients for optimal efficacy on sensitive skin. Now La RochePosay goes one step further with the new Toleriane Ultra Overnight – clinically proven to significantly reduce skin sensitivity, whilst providing intense soothing care to relieve and hydrate uncomfortable, reactive skin night after night. Hyper-sensitive skin needs extra help at night. Compared to ‘normal’ skin, sensitive skin is more easily irritated by external aggressors like allergens, toxins and histamines, and it is less able to defend itself against them.
KEY INGREDIENTS
CARNOSINE + VITAMIN E = DETOXIFIES AND LIMITS TOXIN ACCUMULATION
Naturally produced by the body, Carnosine is an amino acid and hydrophilic antioxidant. Present in the body’s cells, Vitamin E is an antioxidant active ingredient known to fight free radicals. Together, they are the best performing and most complete antioxidant duo to inhibit oxidation induced by daily aggressors and help detoxify skin cells to reduce the skin’s reactivity and relieve signs of irritation.
NEUROSENSINE = BREAKS THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF INFLAMMATION
The ultra-soothing action of Neurosensine inhibits the micro-inflammatory process responsible for skin hypersensitivity to ensure long-lasting comfort. With its peptide molecular structure, Neurosensine is able to stimulate the release of messengers within skin that work against inflammatory messengers, such as histamine. The lightweight formula is reinforced with the naturally soothing properties of La Roche Posay’s Thermal Spring Water.
KEY BENEFITS
• Clinically proven to reduce inflammatory redness, itching, tightness and stinging sensations
• Instant hydration that works overnight to leave skin feeling soft, comfortable and rested for an even, smooth complexion
• Helps the skin build stronger barrier properties to defend itself against irritation, reactivity and sensitivity
• Skin is freed from discomfort and looks rested, soothed and ready to face the day ahead
CLINICAL TEST RESULTS
Tested on even the most intolerant, allergy-prone skin, La RochePosay Toleriane Ultra Overnight has proven clinical efficacy to reduce skin sensitivity, night after night. After one month of use, those tested reported:
• 76% reduction in tightness
• 69% reduction in itching
• 57% in stinging
THE TEST RESULTS ALSO DEMONSTRATED ITS EFFICACY ON THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE SKIN:
• 96% skin felt softer
• 95% skin felt soothed, more supple and smoother
• 89% skin looked renewed
TOLERIANE ULTRA OVERNIGHT USAGE
Designed for night-time use, the non-oily, fresh water gel texture melts into the skin for instant absorption. Both light and enveloping, Toleriane Ultra Overnight cocoons the skin without leaving a sticky residue, for a soft and soothing on-skin feel. Apply to the face and neck every night. For optimal results, use with the Toleriane Ultra range for a comprehensive regime tailored to transform sensitive, reactive skin.

Vichy and La Roche-Posay Skincare

In late October I went to check out skincare by Vichy and La Roche-Posay at B.Hive in Covent Garden. I have always been a fan of Vichy but this was my first experience of La Roche-Posay.

Vichy started in 1931 with the birth in France of Vichy Dermatological Health Society.

When we arrived we were offered some prosecco and some canapes. The lovely Julia greeted us and talked us through the range. I was hugely impressed by Julia. Not only is she a great advert for the brand as she has the most amazing skin, but she also knows everything there is to know about Vichy and La Roche-Posay.

Vichy and La Roche-Posay has a product for every type of skin. I was impressed at the size of the range. There is also a good amount of products for sensitive skin like mine.

In the coming month I will be reviewing Vichy Idealia, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra, Vichy Normaderm Total Mat and La Roche-Posay Anthelios AC Matt Extreme Fluid SPF 30. So watch this space.
