Welcome to LovelySkin.com.
The LovelySkin team is obsessed with all things skin care, and one product line that continues to earn our loyalty for its effective yet gentle formulas is La Roche-Posay. Named for the French town where the brand’s key ingredient—mineral-rich thermal spring water—is sourced, La Roche-Posay’s offerings are vast when it comes to keeping your skin looking clear, calm and well-hydrated. From a potent acne treatment to a pocket-sized sunscreen that’s ready for your next summer adventure, here are a few of La Roche-Posay’s best products according to LovelySkin staffers.
“This was the only sunscreen I brought with me on a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro with my son, Dr. Daniel Schlessinger, several years ago,” says Dr. Joel Schlessinger, CEO and board-certified dermatologist as well as Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. “There just wasn’t room to bring a lot with us, but this sunscreen is pocket-sized, and it provided excellent broad-spectrum protection for our skin at high altitudes.” This formula is untinted and protects skin from UVA and UVB rays with a combination of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
“This is a good body cream for people with rough, dry skin or patients who have eczema,” says Dr. Daniel Schlessinger, a board-certified dermatologist as well as a Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. The formula is accepted by the National Eczema Association and features skin-soothing ceramides as well as shea butter, a plant lipid that’s rich in antioxidants and acts as an emollient on the skin to protect against dehydration.
“I started using this acne treatment gel after taking Accutane because my skin was too sensitive for prescription-grade retinol,” says Ashley B., Social Media Lead. “I can use this every day with no issues, and it helps get rid of breakouts so fast!” The active ingredient is 0.1% adapalene, which is a vitamin A derivative that helps regulate cellular turnover and prevent all types of acne, including blackheads and whiteheads. “My skin tends to be very dry, and I’ve never found this drying or irritating,” she says. “It’s one of my favorite products, and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with acne, dryness and sensitivity.”
“This is a great sunscreen for mature, dry skin, and it’s the one I prefer to use on my face all summer long,” says Pam S., Business Development Manager and Retail Manager. “It helps provide some much-needed moisture, and I also like that it dries quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy.” This sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection thanks to a blend of chemical blockers (avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene and oxybenzone), and it also remains water-resistant for up to eighty minutes.
“This product is one of the best La Roche-Posay products because it fulfills so many of my skin needs,” says Meg P., Site Merchandiser. “Like the name indicates, it truly is a multi-purpose balm. I use it on dry areas on my face, hands and body every night. It has a creamy cloud-like formula that intensely hydrates and soothes all of my skin irritations. For a dry skin girl like me, this is a year-round life-saver!” You can read more about how to use La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 on the LovelySkin Blog.
“I love La Roche-Posay Toleriane Sensitive Fluid because it provides good hydration without leaving my skin feeling oily or greasy,” says Jenna H., Aesthetician. It contains soothing ingredients such as glycerin and niacinamide that can help relieve skin irritation and relieve visible redness as well. “I use it every morning layered in between my hyaluronic acid serum and my sunscreen,” she says.
This hydrating facial cleanser gently removes makeup, dirt and oil while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Jill T, Content Manager, is a big fan. “I recently started using tretinoin instead of an over-the-counter retinol, and that made my usual exfoliating cleansers with glycolic acid a little too harsh for my skin,” she says. “This cleanser has seriously been a game changer and saved my cleansing routine.”
“I’m always looking for new ways to minimize redness on my skin,” says Aaron S., Content Editor. “This green-tinted moisturizer provides the immediate calming benefits I need while also keeping my skin hydrated all day.” Key ingredients include shea butter, coconut-derived glycerides and a calming peptide that helps reduce inflammation.
