La Roche-Posay® Toleriane Ultra Reviews

I have to say, this may just be my favourite trial product ever!

As someone with temperamental, sensitive skin, moisturisers are definitely a product which is hit and miss. And this was a total hit! My skin is often on the dry side, with redness (often flares of rosacea) and scarring from cystic acne (and an inch long scar from a regular old cyst). Needless to say, I often have trouble finding skincare that doesn't irritate my skin.

This product was gentle, scent-free and hydrating. It has kept my skin moisturised all day and allow for my makeup to stay looking top notch all day. Most importantly, I had no burning sensation or redness on my skin as I often do with other moisturisers. My redness has actually reduced and my 1 inch long scar (which has random flare ups of pain and redness) is less red and not stinging!

The packaging is discreet; simply, slim and upmarket (lets face it, anything with French words on it feels classy). I love the pump dispenser which only allows a small amount of product at a time, dispensing the optimal amount for my face each time.

In trying to think of negatives, I actually have none. The only concern I have is that the bottle is quite small for the price. But considering I think this product may last me a while, it is not a concern that would stop me from repurchasing.

Sensitive skin people! If you are having trouble finding moisturisers which don't leave your skin burning, red or tight, this may just work for you as it has for me!

This intense soothing cream is amazing. After using this on my face and neck both morning and night has seen my skin glow. It feels softer to the touch, more even tone and no more dry patches.

I have used a couple of la Roche-posay products prior to this review; and really enjoyed them! Their effaclear face wash is my holy grail so I was interested in seeing what a mainly ‘one brand’ routine would look like for me.

This product is part of their ‘ultra sensitive skin‘ line which have no fragrance to them, and a nice ‘medicinal’ look to their packaging - think luxe laboratory/fancy spa styles. I like that they are both in a pump bottle, not sticking your fingers in to a whole jar is always quite nice!

This moisturiser is a little intense for me, as I have a very oily tzone. So I have been using this in the evening as a night cream, which has been working well for me - I have noticed a difference in the dryer areas around my hairline, which are responding well to a thicker moisturiser. I’ve also used this on my hands where I have some quite dry patches that I usually use steroid cream on, and it has helped with softening them and didn’t cause any additional irritation to the area.

I do not think I would repurchase this as it is too heavy for me, and I am lazy and like to have a moisturiser I can use at all times of the day. This would be perfect for very sensitive dry skin.

My skin is sensitive and I need to be careful what products I use on it. I've had reactions to the most unexpected things in the past so I tend to use products formulated for sensitive skin. This moisturiser has an almost mousse texture, it's very light and nice to apply to the skin. It sinks into my skin nicely and doesn't leave any residue on my skin. I did not react to this product at all and didn't even get the usual breakout of a few spots like I tend to when changing skincare products. This moisturiser has basically no scent to it. After I had applied it there was no trace of a scent on my fingertips. The packaging is simple and has a twist feature to lock the product for travel. I do quite like this feature and research of the product has shown me that it's specially sealed so that it stays good over time for sensitive skin. I'm not sure if the formulation of this product suited my skin type. I can't discriminate if it was this product or the eye cream but my forehead in particular became very oily after about a week of using these products. My skin is sensitive but not dry and I think it's just a bit too rich and moisturising for my skin. It is a nice product and I did not react to it so it did what it was supposed to! Definitely give this a go if you have sensitive skin. I will be keeping this on hand for future use if I do react to something else to soothe and calm my skin down.

The packaging is minimal and simple. Both the box and bottle have pretty good info on them. This comes in a pump bottle with a lockable top, so would be good for travel with no wastage when you lock and unlock the top. It is thick and creamy with minimal scent, and soaked into my skin quickly without feeling greasy. As a plus this can also be used on your eye area. The redness in my cheeks has reduced slightly and I no longer get angry, itchy, red patches. My skin also looks firmer. This kept my skin hydrated all day. After using for almost two weeks the bottle still has a lot in it so I think would last quite a while. This is out of my price range but would consider buying if it was on special.

The Toleriane Moisturiser helped with my redness and dry patches but I also developed a minor skin breakout several days of continual usage of this product. I noticed how my skin feels dewy moments after application which I guess is okay considering I have very dry and dull skin. However, there’s also a strange scent to it which I am not a fan of.

The pump applicator is very good, easy to use and completely hygienic as you can easily twist the cap in order to close the bottle.

This moisturiser has a light consistency and not heavy on the face which is a good kind of an alternative primer or foundation base. I would appreciate it more if it has SPF so I won't need to apply a sunscreen protection too.

Overall, given the price of this product as well, it's okay but can be better.

This moisturiser came in beautiful packaging which had a great lock making it fantastic for the gym bag. It smelled fresh and the pump was perfect as it didn't give you too much like some pump products.

Unfortunately I found for my skin this didn't leave my skin feeling moisturised and healthy. There was little difference before and after application and even after using this continously and religiously for nearly two weeks I didn't find any improvement in my skin

When I first opened the box I was a bit concerned about the size as I usually find I use a lot of product. I couldn’t wait to try it though.

I really like the pump bottle and have found I actually don’t need much product.

The consistency is quite thick but easily absorbed. I have found absolutely no irritation which is a big win.

My foundation seems to be staying on much better since using this moisturiser and I’m not getting the oily nose I often get.

Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with irritation and sensitivity, Price wise I would say mid range but absolutely worth it.

I was excited to try this product as my skin is a disaster!

I loved the pump bottle - much better than playing around with silly things like lids. The cream felt thick but didn’t leave my skin feeling oily, instead it absorbed really quickly.

After a few days of use, my skin started to feel softer and even my dry patches were well-hydrated. It also helped reduce redness around my pimples which was a bit plus for me!! I have also had family tell me that my skin is looking much better which is a nice feeling!

Having never heard of La Roche-Posay before this trial I had no idea what to expect from either this or the eye cream that I also received.

The packaging has a lot of French but dont't let that cinfuse you, there's english instructions in there and also some pretty cool info printed on the inside of the box.

I cant say enough about how awesome the bottles are that this product comes in. The twist top locks nicely, perfect for travelling or even putting away in the toilet bag. Inside the 40ml bottle is a sealed plastic bag that shrinks down as the moisturiser is dispensed , prevented any oxygen contamination! I'm a huge fan of a dispenser bottle - no fingers and no nasty germs!

The moisturiser itself is light, non scented and applied easily to my skin, absorbing quickly. At first I needed 3 sometimes 4 pumps but as the week went on I found 2 was enough for both face and neck.

My foundation sat nicely on top of this moisturiser, in fact I had a couple of comments within 2 or 3 days of using this and the eyecream asking if I'd changed my makeup!

While the price tag may make this out of reach for some - I'd certainly recommend spending the extra coin - especially if your skin is even slightly sensitive as there are no nasties in this to further inflame your skin.
