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.
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!
Tips: Two pumps should be enough to cover your face and neck
