Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer

Product Information

Since the moisturizer is oil-free, Galaria says it’s particularly great for oily skin. And, while testing, we felt the same way: The moisturizer reduced oil while making our skin feel smoother and more hydrated. It also proved as lightweight and fast-absorbing as our overall favorite. According to Neutrogena, the moisturizer can aggressively dry out your skin when you start using it. And while we didn’t have this problem while testing, we think it’s worth noting—especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Both the CeraVe Moisturising cream and La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm have been popular choices for sensitive skin and dry skin. Since I have mostly dry skin, I have seen much difference when I tried these two products. Value for Money: The product is typically available at a reasonable price point, but it runs out fast! Maybe I applied way too much because of how fast it absorbs into my skin.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Cleansing Gel does the same job of lifting dirt and sebum from my skin without affecting the fragile skin barrier. Neurosensine, also known as acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, is the hero ingredient in this formula, helping to instantly soothe skin. It’s a dipeptide that works by signalling the skin nerve cells to release met-enkephalin (a relaxing, pain-relieving messenger molecule). Glyceryl stearate citrate is similar to the super common skincare ingredient glyceryl stearate, and is similarly used to help combine waters and oils (emulsifier) and to make your skin feel nice and soft (emollient). There’s also hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to draw moisture into the skin. And madecassoside, an ingredient derived from the Centella Asiatica plant, is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.One of the many types of ceramides that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. Ceramides make upabout 50% of the goopy stuff that's between our skin cells and play a super important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated. It works even better when combined with its pal, Ceramide1. And, like all La Roche Posay skincare products, this moisturizer includes the brand’s Thermal Spring Water. We’ll give you all the details on this unique water in the Key Ingredients section below. La Roche Posay offers several retinol products, including moisturizers like Redermic R Pure Retinol Cream and Redermic R Retinol Eye Cream. Shoppers love the vegan Drunk Elephant Protini moisturizer, and it's not hard to see why. With peptides, antioxidants, and nutrients that moisturize and replenish, you can say farewell to lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, and hello to plump, firm, healthy, strong, and youthful-looking skin. What's more, it's vegan, cruelty-, silicone-, and fragrance-free.

CeraVe makes an AM facial moisturizing lotion that contains Niacinamide, which is helpful for soothing redness in skin-prone rosacea. Below is a comparison table that compares these two products. While the minimal ingredient list for this moisturizer is ideal for those with sensitive skin, it’s probably not going to feel moisturizing enough if you have dry skin since there’s only one emollient in the formula. I was so happy to try a cleanser and moisturizer that didn't try to mask themselves with heavy fragrance either. I love perfume, but I don't need a bouquet of flowers on my face. Bottom Line: La Roche Posay Toleriane Fluide Oil Free Moisturizer is a simple moisturizer with only 10 ingredients, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin, but likely not moisturizing enough if you have dry skin.

The moisturizer was lightweight, fast-absorbing, and easy to apply. And it left our oily skin looking glowy rather than greasy. According to our moisture meter, the gel boosted moisture in our skin by 1 to 15 percent, making us feel hydrated without any heaviness. And while we wouldn’t recommend it for dry skin, it’s great for oily and combination skin. It’s also fragrance-free and sensitive-skin-friendly.

Dr. Chang recommends choosing "a day cream that functions as an antioxidant, moisturizer, and sunscreen all-in-one to get the best benefit from one product" — and this option from La Roche Posay does just that. The oil-free daily moisturizer uses glycerin and ceramides to replenish moisture in the skin, while the inclusion of SPF 30 protects against UV rays. It even includes niacinamide, an antioxidant that repairs and brightens the skin.During our test, the moisturizer proved lightweight, easy to apply, and fast-absorbing. And it balanced out our skin, boosting moisture by 22 percent while reducing oil by 7 percent. After using the moisturizer, our skin felt hydrated and refreshed. But we didn’t notice an immediate difference in our complexion. And we’re curious to test this moisturizer long-term to see how well it works on blemishes and discoloration over time. But here’s the problem: the La Roche Posay moisturizer collection is quite extensive with dozens of different products, which can make deciding which moisturizer is best for you a bit challenging. La Roche-Posay created their product to treat oily, sensitive skin prone to spots and blemishes, which I mostly see on my skin. It also contains Zinc PCA (zinc sodium of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), which aids in controlling oil production and killing acne-causing bacteria. CeraVe and La Roche-Posay have night creams that target different skin types, so of course, I had to try them.
