Named for the French town it was founded in, La Roche-Posay specializes in gentle skin care products featuring mineral-rich natural spring water and minimalist formulas. Though the brand makes everything from sunscreen to acne care treatments, La Roche-Posay moisturizers continue to be in demand for their skin-smoothing powers. We’re here to introduce you to two of the brand’s most popular products—a facial moisturizer and hyaluronic acid serum—and how you can use them together to maximize their benefits for your skin.
La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane line features skin care products specially formulated for sensitive skin. One of the all-star products in this line is La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer. Its lightweight cream texture immediately comforts skin, and it’s fragrance- and oil-free as well. Key ingredients include ceramides to help support your skin’s moisture barrier and niacinamide to soothe irritated skin and help fade discoloration. It also features La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water and glycerin, a powerful hydrator. This formula has “double repair” in its name because these ingredients work together to help repair your skin’s natural protective barrier after one hour and also provide up to 48 hours of hydration.
When it comes to hyaluronic acid serums for your face, La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum is an impressive multitasker. It helps address fine lines, loss of volume and elasticity. Plus, it also helps boost moisture levels in dehydrated skin. It features two types of hyaluronic acid—one with low molecular weight and one with high molecular weight—to help attract water into your skin for an immediate plumping effect and long-lasting hydration. Along with vitamin B5 to help support your skin’s natural moisture barrier, it also features madecassoside, a plant compound that’s rich in fatty acids and skin-repairing antioxidants.
Though these two products can stand on their own, they work well in your skin care routine together. While La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps infuse your skin with instant hydration, Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer works to lock in that moisture and keep your skin feeling soft and smooth.
We recommend using La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 as part of your morning routine, applying a few drops to your face and neck after cleansing. Next, you can follow that up with La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer. If you want to combine this step with La Roche-Posay sun protection, there’s also a version with SPF 30 protection: La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer UV. When evening rolls around, you can use La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer once again after cleansing.
