Dermatologically tested and designed for sensitive skin, La Roche-Posay has the product to suit your skin concern.
As Pharmacist Kelly Williams says, “it feels fantastic and it works”.
The Toleriane products, including face cleansers and moisturisers, are formulated with a prebiotic to help restore the skin microbiome.
“It’s all about skin integrity, which is crucial for allergy and eczema skin because if you can rebuild the skin integrity you reduce the instances of flare ups,” Ms Williams said.
“It’s your maintenance treatment, rather than having to constantly use corticosteroid anti-inflammatory creams.”
For those agonising over stubborn spots, the Anti-Acne Starter Kit comes with a cleanser and moisturiser complete with salicylic acid to gently exfoliate and help unclog pores, and Niacinamide to reduce redness and irritation.
“It’s enough for a month to give it a good trial, so you use it regularly and decide whether you like it,” Ms Williams said.
The range of Anthelios sunscreens are SPF 50+ and won’t irritate the skin, and there is even a water-resistant sunscreen that can be applied directly onto wet skin.
Ms Williams’ absolute favourite though is the lightweight face sunscreen, which also comes in a tinted option.
“It’s non-comedogenic so it doesn’t clog the pores, doesn’t cause breakouts, it doesn’t feel heavy or shiny; it just glides on,” she said.
“Acne medications cause photosensitivity — making you more sensitive to the sunlight — so sunscreen is absolutely crucial during summer.”
La Roche-Posay is a great option for any age and also has a body wash, body moisturiser and bath oil.
“Any children who have eczema or irritated skin, it’s just the go-to product,” Ms Williams said.
“You can use it in the bath or shower and it’s going to help calm the skin and reduce the need for corticosteroid anti-inflammatory creams.”
