Best La Roche-Posay Products
LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR DUO+
Hailed as a hero anti-blemish moisturiser that helps to hydrate the complexion and improve skin condition in just four weeks, the Effaclar Duo is a must-have skincare product for those with acne and other skin concerns. A lightweight gel formula that glides onto the skin, reducing shine and controlling oily zones, this moisturiser also visibly reduces the appearance of blemishes.
EFFACLAR PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL
Packaged with a new look, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel is one of the best cleansers for sensitive and oily skin. The gel formula helps to lift away impurities and leave the complexion instantly refreshed. Concentrated in Thermal Spring Water but containing only minimal ingredients, this cleansing gel is suitable for all skin types.
ANTHELIOS ULTRA LIGHT FLUID SPF50
If you have sensitive skin, finding the right SPF can be challenging. One of the best choices, as also recommended by skincare blogger Caroline Hirons, is the La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF. A lightweight texture that sinks quickly into the skin to protect from the sun’s harmful rays, the formula is also hypoallergenic, fragrance-free and paraben-free. Pick up the miniature travel version to keep in your handbag for top ups.
TOLERIANE HYDRATING CLEANSER
Unlike most cleansers that leave your face feeling dry and tight, La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Hydrating Cleanser leaves skin feeling smooth, soft, and moisturized. That’s thanks to its creamy, sulfate-free formula that comprises skin-strengthening ceramides, soothing niacinamide, moisturizing glycerin, and the brand’s signature thermal spring water, which is rich in good-for-skin antioxidants and minerals. The formula is also free of oil, soap, and fragrance, so it should be safe for use on even the most sensitive of skin.
LA ROCHE-POSAY EFFACLAR SERUM
Another product that was designed with oily skin in mind — though it should actually work nicely on most skin types — Effaclar Serum uses hydrating hyaluronic acid and two exfoliating acids to promote smoother, softer, brighter, and more even-looking skin. It’s also great for anyone dealing with enlarged or congested pores, while its fragrance-free, oil-free formula makes it a safe choice for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.
LA ROCHE-POSAY LIPIKAR BALM AP+
On the other end of the skin care spectrum, Lipikar Balm AP+ is a face and body cream that helps soothe and moisturize dry, irritated skin for up to 48 hours. Made with shea butter, glycerin, and niacinamide, it’s fragrance-free, rich but not sticky, and provides immediate relief to areas that are extremely dry or flaky. This product is safe for all skin types and ages, including babies, and boasts the seal of acceptance from the National Eczema Association.
KERIUM ANTI-HAIRLOSS SHAMPOO
This bestselling anti-hairloss shampoo helps reduce inflammation on the scalp, inflammation being one of the factors that increase the rate of hair loss.
Suitable for both men and women, this formula nourishes and soothes the scalp, all the while strengthening the hair in order to reduce breakage. In essence, it’s the perfect shampoo to complement in-depth hair loss treatments.
LA ROCHE-POSAY HYALU B5 SERUM
This one-of-a-kind serum is a fantastic moisturizer on its own–but what if we told you it can boost the performance of your anti-aging treatments?
Formulated with a uniquely plumping gel texture, this serum features pure hyaluronic acid serum, which not only hydrates the skin, but also works overtime to re-plump the skin. As a result, it is able to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving the skin looking radiant and youthful.
REDERMIC [R] ANTI-WRINKLE RETINOL TREATMENT
A 0.3% retinol formula, the La Roche-Posay Redermic [R] Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Treatment is one of the best retinol products for sensitive skin. The effective but gentle concentrate helps to prevent and minimise the appearance of ageing.
