La Roche-Posay Toleriane Riche

La Roche Posay Toleriane Riche 40ml 

All through my teenage years I've been quite lucky in the way that my skins never done anything too extreme. By extreme I mean acne, or eczema and Its never been overly sensitive to which products I use. My main problems were always unevenness and redness, and how pale and dull my skin looked without any foundation to even things out. But in the last year I've had to pay quite a lot more attention to my skincare routine, as I've started getting the odd breakout, and most recently some pretty severe dry patches on my face.

I woke up one morning with a bumpy rash covering my eyelids and the surrounding area, which through the day turned dry, sore, red and itchy. As I'm sure you can imagine, it really was very painful as the skin of your eyelids is so thin and sensitive anyway. I own a couple of products from La Roche Posay and they are definitely one of my favorite affordable skin care brands. I particularly love how focused they are on targeting problems like sensitivity, break outs etc. I picked up this up in Boots, after hearing that the Toleriane range was good for sensitive, angry skin. What can I say, its worked miracles. I slathered this on every chance I got, and within two days my painful rash was no where to be seen. The redness was compleatly deminished and I had normal, non scaly looking eyelids again. Thank god for that. The consistency of this is a thick cream, and it felt soothing and almost cooling the second I applied it. Due to the thick consistency, I wouldn't reccomend using it all over your face under make up, but for my eyelids it worked just fine. Definitely one to keep in your stash for those times when your skin just has an absolute mare!
