4.6
La Roche-Posay earns strong reviews for reliably effective, dermatologist-style care—especially for sensitive, acne-prone, and eczema-prone skin—highlighting standouts like Toleriane cleansers, Cicaplast Baume B5, Lipikar AP+M, Effaclar treatments, and Anthelios sunscreens. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some formulas feel heavy or filmy, certain sunscreens leave a white cast or mid-day shine, Cicaplast can congest or over-oil acne-prone skin, occasional stinging occurs on very sensitive skin, and a few users dislike fragranced serums.

This serum feels super lightweight going on and layers easily under other skincare. It spreads smoothly on the skin and doesn’t leave a white cast which is a major plus. However it did give my skin a noticeable shine by midday and felt like it never got fully absorbed. Definitely comfortable for short wear but not my favorite all-day option for those who aren’t a fan of a glowy finish.
I think this product is fantastic but maybe not fantastic for me. I have oily acne prone skin. I bought this in preparation to deal with extremely dry skin from tretinoin, but I decided to use adapalene gel instead and have really focused on a gel moisturizer. This is great for anywhere else your face or body that’s dry and it is a beautiful thick bomb that really does keep you moisturized. It is just not great for acne prone skin.
I have tried tretinoin, and retinols galore. This is my favorite one by far. I have worked up to using it every few days and just a piece size amount. I feel like it’s gentle. I haven’t dealt with the extreme dry skin that comes with tretinoin and for the price point in accessibility at any drugstore I highly recommend you try this if you’re dealing with extreme acne, dark spots, and just wanting a real extreme version of retinol.
This salicylic acid and LHA blend medicated gel cleanser is fantastic. It feels minty cool fresh on the skin and I believe it’s pretty gentle for the active ingredients it has I use it on my back and on my face.
