After about five years of blissfully clear skin, three months postpartum I found myself with reliable monthly breakouts. You know the type: Big, painful, and take a few days to fully emerge from under the skin. They always appear along my jawline—a sure sign that they’re hormonal—and I’ve been working with a dermatologist for a few months now to clear it up.
I already had La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Ultra Sensitive Skin Face Moisturizer in my medicine cabinet when my dermatologist mentioned that I should layer it on top of the other topical products she’d prescribed me, saying it was great for sensitive and acne-prone skin. That made me even more excited to try it.
Here’s how it worked out.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra-Sensitive Skin Face MoisturizerBest for: Sensitive skin
Uses: Daily moisturizer
Potential allergens: None
Active ingredients: Isocetyl stearate, squalane, shea butter
Price: $30
About the brand: La Roche-Posay’s skincare products are sourced from La Roche-Posay, France. Products are known for being gentle, and a core ingredient in their products is thermal spring water that is naturally rich in minerals with soothing and antioxidant properties.
Competition: Hard to find a replacement
Biossance’s Squalane + Omega Repair Cream: For about a year, I’ve been using Biossance’s Squalane + Omega Repair Cream. I do love it (have I mentioned I’m a huge fan of squalane?) But I think I love La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Ultra Sensitive Skin Face Moisturizer more. Biossance’s moisturizer can get a little heavy, and I don’t think it was helping my acne much. Plus, La Roche-Posay’s moisturizer is less expensive, and that’s something I can always get behind.
Sure, La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Ultra Sensitive Skin Face Moisturizer works well for sensitive skin. But it should also work for all skin types. So if you’re looking for a lightweight, clean moisturizer that's worth paying a little more for, you can’t go wrong with this one.
The Results: Brighter, smoother, and moisturized
Overall, I was very pleased with the outcome of using this moisturizer for a few weeks. It kept my skin moisturized at a time when it needed it most, and it never felt heavy or like it didn’t seep into my skin like other moisturizers.
My only complaint about this moisturizer is that the bottle is a little small. I have to pump a good amount of it into my hand to cover my whole face and neck (moisturizing my neck is very important to me now that I’m in my 30s!), and while I intend to keep using it, I can see myself going through this bottle very quickly. It’s not exactly convenient, and it will get expensive, too.
