Brand ethos
La Roche Posay is a global brand that’s owned by the French company L’Oreal.
The brand was founded in a French town of the same name in 1975 and still manufactures its products there.
The town of La Roche Posay has a thermal spring. The thermal waters are rich in minerals and antioxidants, and in particular Selenium. The brand claims Selenium helps protect the skin against free radical damage and premature ageing.
The town also has a Thermal Centre that houses a spa that offers balneotherapy or thermal water treatments. Balneotherapy has been used by various cultures throughout history to help soothe skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
The Thermal Centre first formed in 1869 but did not become the La Roche Posay Thermal Centre until 1905. Today, it gets about 8000 visitors a year seeking treatment.
La Roche Posay is one of the most dermatologist-recommended brands due to its mild formulas and scientific focus on skin conditions such as eczema, dryness and acne.
La Roche Posay’s commitment to research and partnerships with skin care professionals has led to it becoming a brand trusted by dermatologists and consumers alike.
The company creates many global best-selling products for those with a range of skin concerns.
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Gel B5
A very good gel with true healing properties with an elegant finish on the skin. Although it tends to feel a tad thick and somewhat too rich at application, it is absorbed quickly leaving an elegant silky, very skin-like finish… It can be worn alone (in the summer) or under an additional moisturizer (in the winter) and not only by those who need to accelerate healing of the skin.
