La Roche Posay
La Roche Posay is perhaps one of the most well-known French skincare brands that has made its way across the channel.
Founded in the 1970s, the brand prides itself on partnering with dermatologists to create formulations that really work and all of its products are noncomedogenic (meaning that they won't clog pores). La Roche Posay is also committed to offering products that can be tolerated by even the most sensitive skin across categories such as acne and aging.
One of the brand’s most popular products, the toleriane ultra fluid sensitive skin (£18.50, Boots.com), featured in our round-up of the best moisturisers for eczema, with our reviewer saying it was well worth the investment. “The cream is also clinically proven to reduce sensitivity, and is the first facial skincare product to be awarded the Seal of Approval by Allergy UK,” they said. “We found this cream incredibly light, which is what makes it ideal for your face, as it’s less likely to clog pores. Its unique texture means that it’s fine to use in addition to make-up, without leaving your skin feeling oily or looking sweaty.”
And in a recent interview with Today, Sarah Jessica Parker said it was her absolute favourite product. “I only have one. It’s the only moisturiser I’ve used forever. It’s just La Roche-Posay fluid. That’s it. It’s amazing. It’s very thin, so you can use it to touch yourself up. It’s great,” she said.
