I have acne-prone and sensitive skin and was pleasantly surprised by this moisturiser. It's lightweight and not greasy and absorbs well. The formula seemed a little thin/watery and wasn't as creamy as I expected. I was also a little hesitant at first because of the fragrance (fragrance normally = irritation for my skin) but I haven't had a reaction so far. The smell reminds me a little of those tangy apple lollies, but it dissipates quickly. My skin is definitely hydrated and smoother, especially my nose which was blackhead prone prior to using this. The redness I normally experience has gone. I still get breakouts, but they don't last as long as usual and definitely don't get as 'angry'. I was pleasantly surprised by this cream, it would be nice to have it in a larger size. Great hydration without being heavy and greasy.

Tips: Can be used morning and night
I trialled this product with the ‘LR-P Effaclar H Iso-Biome ,Soothing cleansing cream.’ i found the cleanser to leave a tight feeling on my skin after use. However this product counteracted that tight feeling leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth. The packaging is an easy to use squeeze bottle with plastic lid. There is a lot of writing on the product, front and back with instructions in different languages which could be confusing for some people and hard to read as is a small font. The product consistency is on par with most thick moisturisers, at the time of application it does not feel like this product leaves an oily film, however when washing your face the next day some product residue was noted. The smell is fresh but at times has a chemical undertone which irritated my eyes occasionally. I found that this product as well as the cleansing cream noticeably reduced redness from my hormonal breakouts. Product size is quite small compared with other moisturiser products and for the price point, may be a deterring factor for future purchases from me.
Tips: Product did as said
I have sensitive skin with Rosacea and never have any problems using La Roche-Posay products so was excited to try the new Moisturiser and Cleansing Cream. I found the mousturisrer- non-greasy and it does a great job protecting and hydrating my skin. The texture is very creamer and quickly absorbs into the skin leaving me with a nice dewy non greasy look. My skin instantly looks so much brighter and feels so much softer. I like applying my moisturiser with this type of bottle as it is easy to only use a small amount when applying so saves on wastage. The cream spreads easily and I didn't need a lot to cover my entire face so will last a long time despite it only being s 40ml bottle. The product does has a very light fragrance to it but it is very soft smell. Not the cheapest on the market but a good price point for the small amount of product you need to apply. My son has also tried this product and it has definitely helped with this dry areas caused from ance products without causing new breakouts. I would defintely recommend trying this out if you are on acne medication, have sensitive skin or if you are wanting to really hydrate your skin without worrying about creating breakouts.
Although I don’t have oily skin (more on the dry side) it has done a great job of keeping my skin hydrated. It’s not greasy and absorbs nicely. A pea sized amount is enough for full face and neck application. It doesn’t have a chemically smell which is great. I will definitely be buying more of this one
Tips: Just a pea size amount is enough to cover face and neck
I have been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Moisturiser for several weeks now and have enjoyed the experience thus far. It is a pretty small tube but a small amount goes a ling way. The moisturizer is very light and has a pleasant fresh smell. My skin feels hydrated without being bogged down and my makeup applies easily on top. I found this best to use in the morning under an spf as at night I prefer a richer cream product. While using this Moisturiser my skins clarity has improved and I feel that in conjunction with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar H Iso-Biome Cleansing Cream it has helped calm areas of sensitivity. I will keep using the rest of the tube but feel unless it is on sale or a bigger tube is available, I may not re purchase this due to the small tube size.
This moisturiser is smooth creamy and feels lovely on freshly washed skin..It comes in a nice easy squeeze tube, has no noticeable scent and absorbs quickly.
I used this with a hydrating serum for the day and a rentinol serum at night with no adverse reactions at all.
For me it's not really hydrating enough to be used for a night cream but I think my skin is a little dry for this line, on oilier skin it would be perfect.
It sits nicely under makeup with no pilling or white cast.
I'd recommend this and the cleanser from the same range for anyone with oily skin but it's not a range I'll be repurchasing unfortunately.
I'm always excited to try anything La Roche - they have such a great reputation and I've had real success with some of their products in the past. This moisturiser, however, was not as wonderful as I would hoping it would be.
The pros: it had a lovely texture - really silky and not greasy at all. I also really liked the subtle fresh scent which went away quite quickly after using. It felt nice on my face, didn't give me that faint sting like other products can do sometimes if your face is feeling a bit dry and upset.
The main con I had was issue with pilling. I tried with my normal serums underneath, then with the serums but 25-30 mins for them to dry before I applied the moisturiser and every time I had pilling on the sides of my face and my forehead by the end of the day which was frustrating. For that reason alone I probably wouldn't repurchase, as this product is a little on the pricier end and I have other moisturisers that do a good job and don't pill.
Tips: A great choice if you don't intend to layer any other products underneath it in your skincare routine.
This felt almost like a barrier cream, so since my skin is combination to oily, I only really wear it if I'm going to do heavier makeup that day as it is generally too greasy for me. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin/break me out though.
Tips: Don't use too much at once, especially if you have oilier skin.
I believe this could be good for someone who has really dry skin and not prone to breakouts. It is a little to oily for me as I am going through menopause and have hormonal breakouts that are like really big pimples under the skin. It's hard to get the balance right. In saying that it feels really soft and soothing on the skin....just not for me at the moment.
Such a hydrating light moisturiser!
When I opened the box and seen the small container it came in I was a bit skeptical about it, but it has a beautiful light scent, it smooths over skin so nicely and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.
I suffer with bad dryness over winter and this product has been amazing with dealing with my dryness.
Will I purchase again… 100% Do i recommend to others… 100%
Beautiful light but very moisturising product!!
