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.
Tips: You only need a small amount.
The lightweight feel of this moisturiser belies just how powerful it is. It's super absorbent and skin simply drinks it in. I found it left my face feeling plump and moisturised. In the morning, it was perfect under sunscreen and then makeup. It left my skin with just the right amount of dewiness and the lack of fragrance made it feel like I wasn't wearing anything at all- just how I like it!
As someone with quite finicky skin, I wasn't nervous to try this product; I knew it had none of the ingredients that my skin could kick up a fuss about. No alcohol, perfumes, parabens, lanolin, colourants, basically no nasties. After a week of daily use, I've had no adverse reactions, and for me, that's a win!
The ultra-hermetic packaging means that it stays fresh right to the last drop- and that no product is left behind. This is important if you're going to spend close to $50 on a face cream.
The claim that this cream 'intensely hydrates' is, in my opinion, a slight stretch. At night, I still layer a heavier cream over the top and during the day, I've noticed a couple of pesky dry patches hanging around.
On the whole, I love this cream and it's one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to my nearest and dearest. If you have super dry and needy skin like mine, this works as a great base to build upon.
Tips: Don't be afraid to use more than one pump! Two did the trick for me.
One downfall of having sensitive skin is trying to find products that I can use on a daily basis that wont negatively effect my super sensitive skin.
I'm so pleased this moisturiser passed the test. This is an absolutely fabulous product! The pump bottle is super cute and its easy to access the moisturiser. There is a light scent to it - which I love. Its lightweight and rubs in well. Instantly my skin feels very hydrated and healthy.
During the time that I have been using this moisturiser I have had no skin irritation at all. I swear they are spot on with this formula
Don't let the price tag fool you - This moisturiser is gold for anyone who has very sensitive skin!
I have really been loving this! I have dry (sometimes combo) skin which can be quite sensitive at times and this has been sooo lovely on my skin! It soaks in nice and quick and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and leaves a nice glowing effect on my skin which looks great alone but also with makeup applied over top. I love how this wasn't oily on the skin and how quickly is soaked in.
The pump on this is great and I feel like it lets out a good amount of product, not too much but not too little, just perfect - although I am still trying to figure out how many pumps I need for my face, some days I have been needing a little more, but in saying that I think I'm just loving it so much that I want to just slather it all on haha.
Overall, I have really enjoyed this and will happily keep using!
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!
Tips: A little goes a long way!
Having lived with sensitive skin for years it's a battle to test and try skincare. I can't even begin to think how much I've spent on something only to have to throw it out or just give it away because I've had a reaction to it.
This arrived at the perfect time with the pollen in Canterbury at the moment my eyes are crying for help so thank you BR.
I emailed LRP a while back after I read a few reviews on BR from another trial. They were so helpful about sample size availability and also quick to point me in the direction of life pharmacy where you can try before you buy. Very handy prior to purchasing a full bottle. I also notice they are a branch of L'Oréal which is handy as they are so well known and I've had a lot of luck with their skincare in the past. So I highly recommend going and testing some out at life.
This was my favourite out of the two products. I was brave and just applied all over without any test patch - yep living dangerously.
It was great. I had no reaction as expected from a product aimed at sensitive skin. It's recommend to apply day and night and I did follow these instructions - it didn't cause any breakouts or greasyness for me so I was happy to follow directions. One pump was plenty as it's a light white formula that effortlessly glides across the skin. A little did go a long way - the tube spits out a thin stream of the cream.. one pump doesn't amount to too much - it's the perfect amount. The 40mL tube will last a long time. I've been using approx. 10 days straight and I have only just noticed the bag inside the tube has shrunk down a little.
Packaging looks great - blue and white box with simple explanations and directions for use along with simple elegant packaging. The box encases your pump action tube.
This tube has some amazing technology - to keep your product fresh, free from oxidation, contamination, residue and also reduces waste. It's rather fun to watch.. you can YouTube it or just watch your own tube shrink. It's got a little bag inside the tube that shrinks down with use. The tube also has a twist top that's handy for locking when travelling. Quite flash!
The product itself feels amazing on the skin. I actually find it acts like a primer.. it definitely performs better than my $50+ primer anyways. It creates this moisture layer on the skin that lasts for hours. It gives you a dewy fresh look and leaves your skin feeling so smooth. It's not greasy or oily, it just feels fresh.
In terms of performance it's a winner. My car is covered in pollen at the moment and so my eyes and nose have been suffering. Using this has been amazing I feel like it's given my nose area the protection barrier it needed after all the nose blowing and sneezing. It's soothing so you forget you had irritated skin.. it calms it down and provides relief.
I am definitely a fan of LRP I have already brought their sunscreen so if your curious go have a play with some testers.
Tips: Give them a test next time your at life pharmacy. Look up ultra hermetic on YouTube - fascinating!
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.
Ok, so i have heaps of trouble finding products to use on my face, i have so many issues, eczema, dry skin, adult acne, general irritation. yep super fun! so ive tried alot of products to try help my bag of fun face-skin problems. and lets say i have a few used a few times products in my cupboard. So getting this product i was skeptical it could actually help. yeah i know it says "Tolerance tested on allergic skin" but how many times do we read that and it turns out just not my skin..... well im happy to say that this wasn't actually bad at all!! My face is super soft, and my eczema hasn't been irritated by it at all (freaking yay!!) the bottle is very cute and easy to use, i used about 1 & 1/2 pumps to cover my face and neck which im happy with, the 40 ml bottle should last quite some time (at least a few months) Will i continue using this? hell yes! Will i be buying more when it runs out? hell yes! this is my new fave products, my eczema thanks you!!
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.
