La Roche-Posay® Toleriane Ultra Reviews

I had never tried any La Roche-Posay products before but had heard a lot about how good they were on BR. When I saw the invite for this trial I was over the moon and couldn't wait to try it out. Made in France oh la la!

The moisturiser comes in a fantastic bottle with a pump, you simply turn the nozzle to open and shut, it is great for travel as it shuts very securely. It holds 40ml of product, a little definitely goes a long way with this. I feel it will last for ages. It has no noticable smell and no horrible ingredients.

It says it can be used on the eye area also which is fantastic.  I have mainly been using this one at night as it is a little bit thicker than my normal day cream and as I work in an extremely hot environment I prefer something really light during the day.

This hydrates my skin so much! It makes it feel incredibly soft and plump. I had some dry patches above my eyebrows and they literally disappeared after the first use. I feel it makes me look a little shiny which is another reason I prefer it at night. I wake up with amazing looking skin every morning. No dryness and it has not broken me out. Woohoo!

Overall this is a fabulous moisturiser, if you have sensitive, dry skin I highly recommend. The price is great and the product is amazing. Thanks BR for giving me the opportunity to trial this! Love it :-)

So leading up to using this product as part of the BR review I have had one of the worst breakouts in years. In fact, the breakout is still in full swing. I was really interested to see how the La Roche-Posay products would react with my inflamed and pimple covered skin....

But first, the packaging. I love the pump mechanism which is explained on the box. It ensures no air can enter the bottle, meaning there is no need for extra preservatives in the moisturiser. What a great idea! The pump was also really easy to use and the product flowed smoothly.

The moisturiser is rich and thick. To cover my entire face I needed two pumps. Because it is such a small bottle (40ml) this probably means that I will use up the entire pack quite quickly. But for dehydrated skin, the rich texture feels soooo good as you smooth it across your face. I instantly felt the suppleness and moisture content of my skin improve. For people prone to oily skin, this product might not work so well.

I have a lot of redness on my nose which I'm really self-conscious about. The La Roche product definitely help calm this redness, which I am so happy about! This fact alone would make me repurchase again.

Then there is the rest of my face. My chin, cheeks, jawline and forehead suffering from a breakout which has so far lasted two weeks. La Roche didn't improve or exacerbate the breakout. I still used pimple treatment cream in targeted zones, but at least La Roche didn't make my tender skin more inflamed, and I am very thankful for that.

As I transition in to natural skincare, La Roche has been a great starter product. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family that also have sensitive and allergy prone skin.

I was pretty stoked to have been signed up for the Soothing Fluid, I have heard and read good things about this range, but was still a bit hesitant about the all-natural products. I have used some all-natural products in the past, but unfortunately, they have not even come close to what they advertised.

The small bottle arrived in similar box to the eye-cream which I am also reviewing. The white box with blue print mimics their claims as a soothing cream and somehow already made me feel good about the product – clean and easy.

The soothing fluid is slightly bigger than the eye cream, but still a decent and acceptable size to travel with. I’m happy about this as we have an overseas trip coming up soon and I was freaking out about what moisturising products to pack. Pretty sure these will be great for the carry on.

It comes little twist pump that squirts just a good about of the milky light texture, that when applying with the fingers absorbs into the skin quickly, with no greasy after-feel. I could feel my skin immediately starting to calm after application and found the fluid to be hydrating and soothed the redness around my nose and cheeks - caused by the cold weather and working in an air-conditioned environment day in and day out. It can be used also be on the eyes. I have lately not been wearing much make up due to my skin blotchiness which makes my makeup looks patchy. I have however for the last few days added some BB tinted cream and a lick of mascara and all worked great over the soothing fluid.

If you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend you to try out these yourself – I found it amazing – even living with psoriasis which normally decides to flare at every little change in beauty products I use I have had no flares. This is my new favorite product and I will definitely need to add it to the shopping list.

Wow, I can’t say much more! This cream in the short time I’ve used it has had a wonderful affect on my dry winter skin. I have had dry patches on my face constantly for years due to genetic condition and since starting using this those small patches have disappeared. It is non-greasy and goes on smoothly. You only need a small amount as it goes a long way making it great value for money. It feels refreshing and calming on the skin. .

Wow now this product was a lovely we addition to the eye contour cream i was sent to review. I love how this product is also low irritant and zero preservatives.

The packaging is basically a plastic bag within a tube and is designed to prevent oxygen attacking the formula, which means no added nasties to keep the formula from deteriorating, there is a lovely wee diagram on the side of the box to illustrate this. The pump bottle also has a handy quick on/of turn pump to prevent those nasty travel bumps which end in product everywhere.

I have used this a few times as i had only had it a few days before having to submit a review. But the formula is non greasy, definitely no fragrance and adsorbs incredibly quick..

I found with this product that i needed a few pumps for my face and neck and it was just absorbing super quickly however it is still a thicker formula than what im used too.

It was fantastic under makeup as well and didnt interfere with my foundation.

Final review: I probably wouldnt buy this myself, but i am willing to see how it goes after two weeks to see if i notice any changes.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this product being unfamiliar with this brand and I was not too certain if this was supposed to be a moisturiser or a preventative from skin irritations such as eczema,rosacea and dry itchy skin,well to my surprise it does both!..I didn't think much of the outside packaging,looks a bit drab and clinical looking to me and I found it hard to read the instructions,both on the packaging and the bottle which were in English and French.I don't have bad close up vision so that was not the case just that the print is rather on the small side...On opening the packaging it reveals a pump bottle with an easy to open twist screw lid.I love how the bottle is secure by using innovative ultra-hermetic packaging to keep the product free from any contamination and so that nothing can leak out also ensuring there is no mess or waste...The product consistency is creamy and light and I also love how there is no fragrance to irritate my skin.When I first applied to my face and neck I noticed a slight tingling sensation but this soon disappeared and I have had no other reactions since using the cream.I used 4-5 pumps for both my face and neck day and night.The cream felt lovely and soothing,light and non greasy.I could see my face had a glowing look afterwards but not shiny so that it looked like an oil slick,just a healthy glow.My skin felt soft,smooth and hydrated after waking up in the morning and lasted all day.My dry itchy patches and slight rosacea were starting to improve and although it has been less then two weeks of trialing this product I believe with continued use my skin will look amazing.I found when wearing foundation it is best to wait 5 - 10 minutes to let the product sink in to your skin but this product is excellent to use as a primer...Overall I really like this product because it is free from the following skin irritants which are preservatives,parabans,fragrance,lanolin,colourants and drying alcohol and contains skin friendly ingredients such as shea butter and squalane along with calming thermal spring water to naturally soothe your skin and NeurosensineTMA scientifically proven to calm the skin...Would I say this is an economical product to use? well it is a tad expensive but if you suffer from dry,easily irritated skin then I think this is money well spent.

This moisturiser is intensely hydrating and makes your skin feel and look clearer after a few uses. It is free of parabens, alcohol, fragrance, lanolin, colorants and preservatives so is great for itchy sensitive skin. It glides on smoothly and doesn't require a lot as it goes a long way and feels light when applied. It is a little pricey but as you don't need a lot, I think it is quite comparable with other high quality facial moisturisers. I would definitely use again!

As with the eye contour, I LOVE this face cream. I have very sensitive skin and suffer allergies and eczema and sometimes it can be frustrating buying and trying all the different products trying to find something that not only doesn't irritate my skin but also soothes when I need it and makes my skin look and feel better. This product works for me. The texture is thicker than the eye cream, rich & silky soft and it leaves my skin feeling the same way! I have noticed my skin is smoother, softer, hydrated and it lasts. I love that is is suitable for the eye area also. My make up application has been smoother and longer lasting with no patchiness since using La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra. I found I needed a bit more of this, 3 pumps is a good amount for me but the hand, hygienic pump bottle is easy to use and measure and also means if I have an eczema flareup or pimple breakout I am not contaminating the bottle by dipping my fingers in. I will continue to use this and recommend it to other with sensitive skin.

I have dry, eczema prone skin. This moisturiser was fabulous - I thought there was a lid on the pump and tried to get it off but it WAS the pump itself! Very hygienic and I noticed that the product was contained in a clear bag inside the bottle too (I guess to prevent any excess oxygen exposure). Bonus points for that.

The pump releases very thin streams of product but two pumps were enough for my face and neck. The texture is great - a small amount glides over your skin easily and creates a nice moisture barrier. There was no tightness, no stinging, and the itch was definitely reduced as well. Overall I’m very impressed with this product.
