I like this cream as something to have at hand when you need a bit of extra repair or nourishment, so many uses!

I have sensitive, rosacea prone skin, and tried this cream as a special treatment to spot-sooth when I am dry and red due to wind or swimming in a chlorinated pool. It is just ok - a bit greasy, adds moisture but not particularly helpful for calming angry red patches. Have had better results with other creams.

It’s the ideal repair balm!
It does exactly what it says!

This product provides a good barrier without feeling too "thick" and greasy. I use this on my face at the end of my skincare routine.

I was recommended La Roche-Posay by an AdoreBeauty online consultant for my sensitive, red & dry 51 year old skin.

Whenever I try a new range I like to get a selection of products to give it a sold try. This review covers the following La Roche-Posay products which I've used for 4 weeks now:

- Rosaliac AR intense
- Toleraine Ultra
- Toleraine Ultra Nuit
- Toleraine Sensitive
- Toleraine Sensitive Riche
- Toleraine Riche
- Cicaplast Baume B5
- Cicaplast Mains
- Cicaplast Levres

First of all, what the heck are each of these products designed for?!!? Which do I use for what? They all claim to "soothe, hydrate, repair" or some combination thereof but the facial creams are hard to decipher. Sure "nuit" is a night time cream and the Rosaliac an antirosacea product but Toleraine Sensitive, Toleraine Sensitive Riche, Toleraine Riche?!!? Utterly confusing & the La Roche-Posay website helped not one bit.

The positives of these products are that they are not heavily fragranced, sit comfortably on my skin/lips/hands and soak into my skin quite well. I particularly like the lip balm & hand barrier cream. Both are good at providing protection without a heavy, greasy feel. The Toleraine Sensitive cream also soaks in particularly well.

Unfortunately most of the face creams live a shiny film which I find particularly annoying on my already often red face. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer sound familiar?

The Rosaliac AR Intense lotion was in fact not intense enough to calm my skin when angry, red, sore & burning. It's just not thick & emollient enough. Similarly while the Ultra products are fragrance, alcohol, paraben & lanolin free, they're just not moisturising enough for my skin.

Conversely the Cicaplast Baume B5 cream must be meant for nappy rash as it reminds me of zinc oxide. It sits on top of the skin and leaves a white film over the skin.

None of the La Roche-Posay products aggravated or irritated my skin but aside from the hand & lip creams, none of them felt like they were doing anything to make my skin better. I'm ambivalent about recommending these products so I'd suggest you try them for yourself & see how you go.

A few years I go I broke out in adult acne for the first time - completely out of the blue. This was the ONLY product that both soothed my skin whilst allowing to heal. Less than a month later my skin was completely back to normal with no scarring,I Highly recommend it for any skin that needs protection whilst healing.

I was really struggling with irritated skin, i am prone to eczema and generally reactive skin. This works well at PREVENTING problems i've found, keep the dermal barrier healthy and strong. However, i had terrible results using this once that barrier had already become compromised and was red and inflamed. I slathered this on and the irritation became worse. I later found out from my dermatologist that this was because the product had actually trapped the heat in my skin. So i'd say that yes it is a good product, but if you have an actual skin issue or are flaring, use with caution.

I put this on at night time to help my blemishes heal and it calms down my skin overnight

Bought this by accident but found it to be very effective

The consistency has the thickness of a sunscreen lotion. I apply it on my face and hands and my eczema areas. It does wonder and has a really great moisturising barrier. I love putting it on my face as my overnight moisturiser as this one actually does the wonder work. I get a nice supple skin the next morning.

I use a very tiny amount on healing acne spots or blemishes that are dry and flaky. This helps in applying concealer to cover spots. (Too much balm and the concealer won’t stay put, as it is a greasy product).

Occasionally I get bad flare-ups of contact dermatitis on my hands. When this happens, any cream that I normally use makes my hands sting. This includes brands specifically for incredibly sensitive skin. This balm is the only thing that has worked for me.

I bought this product after reading amazing reviews about its repair capabilities. However I found it was very average for me, A bit too greasy and left a white cast . So I don't particularly enjoy using this product but I will reach for it if I have picked on a pimple and want to soothe and moisturise the area whilst ensuring no further infection due to the balm's antibacterial properties.

So It does the job of soothing when I have distressed my skin.

I bought this with Adore thinking it would be good for lip balm.
It's actually better for hands I feel that have gone through he rough experience of eczema.
Like mine!
So I'm glad I bought it nonetheless as it has been helpful for me during the dry allergy season when hands can become more worn, chapped and undernourished -
Perfect for work when you're in a rush and need a small powerful dose of moisture.

I dab this onto little areas on my face that get a little irritated from time to time. Magic.

I have recurring perioral dermatitis that is very difficult to control, and this product is such a lifesaver! I've gone through the tube pretty quickly, and I will repurchase again and again as conjunct treatment to prescription immunomodulating cream—although I actually don't think I'll continue to need that one! before washing (or even alternative to washing if water is making you sad, because this has antibacterial properties) morning and night (ie before removing makeup) I smear a bit all over the affected areas and then wash after it's absorbed. I will often reapply as a final step at night to keep hydrated. this has enabled me to return to some of my favorite actives, because the balm creates a barrier where my own is failing, giving my skin a chance to repair itself. truly perfect, can't live without it.

This helped the redness and irritation that I had on my face from enviroment irritation, waxing and injectable. It helps calm down the effects quickly.

I purchased this to use on my baby’s mild eczema and found that it didn’t do much to relieve redness or dryness. Relegated to my stash of body creams, it’s taken on a new role as hand cream and is actually quite nice for that purpose. It’s light, smells pleasant and absorbs quickly.

I have severely sensitive skin due to eczema. This product gave me blister like reactions within a week. Although I’ve heard a lot of good feedback from it, it wasn’t for me

Wow is this good . I use lip balms daily so I've tried heapsss this is another one I love.

I tend to get a red blotchy skin around my mouth and the same around my nose with some flakiness. This is great for calming the redness down and healing the skin.
