La Roche-Posay® Toleriane Ultra Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

I do not have sensitive skin but I love this product. It leaves your skin with the perfect glow that is just right as its not greasy. The moisturiser its self has a silky texture and glides onto your skin. It also helped with my rosacea.

I'm loving this product! I have very dry, very sensitive skin but this product makes my skin feel amazing! It doesn't sting when it goes on like a lot of products do on my skin. Even though the bottle is quite small, you don't need much. The product soaks into skin well but skin feels hydrated all day, in fact my skin feels amazing!

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 :-)

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. .
