La Roche-Posay® Toleriane Ultra Reviews

This face cream comes in a transparent sealed pump bottle that can twist to lock and seals from germs so harsh preservatives aren't needed. The bottle is practical but still looks expensive and nice. It's perfect for travelling as it seals to prevent leakage and not bulky.

I have sensitive, dry, eczema-prone skin that is prone to clogged pores/breakouts. This face cream goes on very smoothly and absorbs quickly without any greasy residue. I've been using it for just over a week now and it hasn't caused any more clogged pores. It's also very moisturising but not heavy and shiny so would be suitable for any skin type.

This cream contains squalane oil which I've been raving about for a while now - for me it's a miracle oil and the only oil my face can tolerate without getting irritated. It's found naturally in the skin so it absorbs easily and doesn't feel greasy, but is very silky and moisturising.

The only downside to this face cream is the price - $45 for 40mL. I use 2 pumps for my face (around pea size) and haven't seen a reduction in product yet, so it may last a while. If it doesn't last long enough to justify the high price then I may switch back to the cheaper option - nivea soft cream + squalane oil!

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!

This has a sight chemical smell when it's first applied and is too greasy looking to wear as a day cream.

It is vey hydrating and I like that it can be used on the eye contour as well as so many moisturisers can't be.

I think this cream would be great for eczema or psoriasis sufferers but otherwise the price is too much just for a moisturiser.

When I received this in the mail to trial I was super confused. The box had a lot of writing, in both English and French, but I couldn't figure out what the product actually WAS. I suspected it was moisturiser, but it wasn't until I went on BR to check the reviews that I was able to confirm I was right. Though the company is obviously proud of being bi-lingual and having fancy-sounding ingredients, it is a bit of a flaw that nowhere on the packaging does it say 'this is moisturiser. It goes on your face.'

The second thing I noticed about this product was the size vs price. The bottle was a modest 40ml, but the price (BR told me) was $45! I think this probably makes this the most expensive-per-ml moisturiser I've ever tried.

With this knowledge I was extremely dubious about the product. However, things picked up from there.

When I opened the box, I found the product has a very easy turn system to lock or unlock, which was practical and easy to use.

I get very dry skin, so I would be generous, using two or three pumps on my face and another on my neck. It absorbed quickly, leaving my skin soft, with no greasiness or white patches where you missed rubbing in a spot.

This brand makes a big deal about being suitable for sensitive skin. I didn't think I was going to be testing this too much as my skin is usually ok with the products I try, but it just so happens I got sick with a cold while testing this. I wasn't caring for my skin as well as I should and it got dried out, which always makes it more sensitive, especially around my raw, red nose. Usually this would mean my skin, especially my nose, would sting when the product was applied, and I would maybe even get redness or stinging on my cheeks. However this moisturiser remained gentle and hydrating without the sting factor. This has been an absolute blessing.

While I don't think I can justify repurchasing such an expensive product for my face as I do have cheaper options that I know I don't react to, if you usually have problems with your skin + products this is a very sensible option for you. And hey - maybe my 'too small' will be your 'convenience sized'!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this skincare brand. This is not a skincare brand I had heard of before, so I was curious to try it.

La Roche-Posay is a French brand that is made in France. The main language on the bottle is French, but there are English directions written on the back of the bottle, and on the box it comes in. The name also seems to be written in braille on the boxes’ side.

The bottle and the box are both white with black lettering and blue accents. The cream comes in a clear white pump bottle, and the cream inside is white. The bottle is 40ml.

This cream is designed for very sensitive, easily irritated and allergic skin. The directions on the bottle say to apply to your face and neck in the morning and evening. On the box it says the cream can also be applied to the “eyes’ contours” and that it intensely hydrates and soothes, reducing skin’s sensitivity. This cream is also preservative-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, colorant-free and lanolin-free.

My eyes and skin are very sensitive and easily irritated. This cream lived up to its promise and did not irritate my skin. It has no discernible scent, and it is easy to pump out of the bottle. It absorbs well, and is non-greasy. It feels so gentle on my skin.

I think this is a great option if you are looking for a higher end skin product that does not irritate your skin.

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.
