Why La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Crème?

La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Crème is a lightweight moisturiser with prebiotics that helps relieve sensitivity, tightness and occasional redness of the skin.

The gel-cream formulation contains Thermal Spring Water and Ceramide NP to support the skin’s barrier repair and protect its natural microbiome, an invisible barrier that protects the skin from irritants and environmental stressors.

With continued use, skin sensitivity, tightness and occasional redness are reduced.

La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Crème ingredients

The key ingredients in La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Crème are:

Thermal Spring Water calms the skin, reduces redness and soothes irritation. It has a unique prebiotic action thar helps to restore the skin’s own first line of defence: the microbiome.

Glycerin is a gentle but highly effective humectant that provides lasting hydration to the skin. It keeps the skin feeling moist and supple, while also strengthening the skin barrier.

Squalane is a skin-compatible lightweight oil that smooths and softens the skin. Squalane also has other super powers, including helping neutralise  damage caused by UV light and countering lipid peroxidation, which damages pores.

Niacinamide reduces blemishes, evens out skin tone and improves the look of wrinkles. Being a great multi-tasking ingredient, it also helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm inflammation and hold moisture.

Squalane is an oil that’s also naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without leaving a greasy feeling.

Ceramide NP is a well-recognised ingredient that repairs and protects the skin barrier. Similar to ceramides naturally present in skin, it softens the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function, helping it to stay hydrated. Ceramide NP also may help prevent inflammation in the skin.

La Roche Posay Toleriane Sensitive Crème review

A lovely face cream for sensitive skin that doesn’t clog pores. It contains many different ingredients that are good for dry and sensitive skin. It’s also fragrance-free and soothing. In winter, I keep this as a staple in my bathroom cabinet and handbag so that I can reapply it when my face gets extra dry. A big plus is that you can use it on children over three months of age …
