La Roche-Posay

This is the best sunscreen for the face I have used, I love that I found this. I have used many different ones, but this WOW! It melts into the skin so nicely, you don't get sticky, it's like a good face cream. #lykomission

So, perfect timing to test this super cream from La Roche-Posay. It has become winter and cold, and this must be the perfect cream for irritated and dry winter skin..! First: My skin is sensitive, irritated, and lacking moisture. A crappy combination that often gets worse in winter. Cold creams can tend to irritate the skin more and clog pores, but this one is in a different league. The first few days I tested this cream, I used it as a night cream. It is quite thick in consistency and needs to be worked in, and right after application, the skin looks a bit shiny. Very comfortable on, and the skin feels much less dry and moisture-deprived. Now that winter has fully arrived, I have also used it as a day cream, and I am very impressed! It keeps the skin in check throughout the day, and the makeup sits surprisingly well on top. I was a bit skeptical about whether it would crack, clump, or if the skin would become too «shiny» throughout the day, but the concern was unfounded. It sits like a charm – and the skin feels better than it has in a long time! I have used creams in all price ranges. Last one for rosacea skin that cost 1500,- and this one for a fraction of the price is MUCH better. Can really be recommended. #lykoinflutester #larocheposay

I have been lucky to receive this product sent home as #lykoinflutester via #larocheposay I have previously bought this product myself as I was recommended it due to my dry skin. I have atopic eczema, and in the past year, I have developed stubborn patches of eczema on my eyelid/brow bone. Therefore, I have used this cream primarily on them and also on my dry elbows. Since I used this a long time ago and didn't get hooked, it was fun to do a proper test again. The product is very economical, and you need very little product, so I think the product is very good value for money. The consistency of the product is something I have a bit of trouble with, and in previous purchases, I have reacted to it; it is very thick and takes a bit of time to blend into the skin. It takes a while before the white cream blends in and is not visible on the skin. It becomes very greasy once it has sunk in. So therefore, this cream is something I would primarily use at night or when I have very extremely dry patches or use very little product during the day. The positive I have experienced with this product is that it is very soothing for my eczema and helps to reduce the "flaking" and redness. I have used this cream a bit sporadically to assess the difference it makes and have found that after 1-2 days of consecutive use (morning and evening) on my brow bone/eyelids, the eczema is practically unnoticeable. However, due to my skin diagnosis, it takes very little for it to flare up, e.g., from using makeup. So this product is not something I have experienced as a miracle product against eczema, but absolutely a lifesaver for dry skin during the winter months. This product is a very good product to have at home and use as needed, especially now during the colder season. I think this product is reparative and works excellently for dry skin, but what brings down the rating for me is the consistency as I find it a bit hard to absorb/mix. But it is definitely a product I will have at home as it is very economical and lasts a long time and is necessary for those times when you have extremely dry patches.
