La Roche-Posay reviews and discussion

I'm obsessed with the sunscreens from this brand but I need them to bring the European versions with Mexoryl XL (drometrizole trisiloxane) to the US! Mexoryl SL is much more effective at blocking UVA rays than the chemical sunscreens in the US, but unfortunately the FDA hasn't approved new sunscreen active ingredients since the 90s, which is completely ridiculous and out of date. Thus I always stock up in Europe, and I trust the EU's higher chemical regulations more than the FDA anyway. Back to the sunscreen - love them because they work, they don't irritate my eyes or my skin, and they blend in well and don't leave you greasy. Always in my bag.

The Cicaplast Baume B5+ Repairing Balm Cream was highly recommended online for people with dry skin. However, I found the consistency too thick for my face. It felt too heavy, so I tried wearing it at night instead. Unfortunately, my skin is sensitive and I broke out. I ended up using the rest as body lotion.

I love this brand so much for all my skin care needs. My favorite product that I use is their MELAB3 Serum. It’s for dark spot correction. It helps help clear all my dark spots from previous pimples or scars. 10/10 recommend for dark spot treatments

I trust this brand and all their products. I use their cleanser daily as well as buy both their regular and tinted sunscreen. They've never let me down. I'm not that much of a skincare person, but as far as I can tell I am pleased with the effect they have on my skin. Very good quality.

Really really recommend pretty much anything from their Cicaplast line. When my skin is dry, literally just using it one night will get rid of any dry patches and peeling the next day.

The facewash and bodywash work really well. I know they have a lot of other products to offer, and my hunch is they are good too. Widely available and reasonably priced is a nice combination.

I like La Roche-Posay because the products are recommended by my dermatologist for my sensitive and dry skin (especially on the backs of my hands). I like how the sunscreen and lotions easily rub into my skin. The hand cream especially works well when my skin flakes in the winter.

Their cicaplast baume is the ONLY thing saving my dry perioral dermatitis skin!!! I put it on after rinsing my face every morning, and then when I go outside to let my dog out in the morning I sit/stand on the deck for 3 mins to wake up, and the fresh cold Canadian air dries the cream down so nice. When it is almost dry, i put my makeup on top and it looks amazing and never gets dry during the day ... my #1 <3

I have heard wonderful things about this sunscreen brand, known for its lightweight feel and super effective broad spectrum spf 50. I live in a sunny high altitude environment with fair skin, so I go through alot of sunscreen! I do like the dispenser and this sunscreen is very effective for my face, but the texture just isn't up to par with some of the other spf 50 sunscreens I've tried. I have combo/dry skin, but even this made my skin look a bit too "chemical sunscreen shiny" for my taste (which doesn't happen with every chemical sunscreen! Just many formulated on the US if you know what I mean). The effectiveness and lightweight feel are great, and results may vary. I can see this layering well under makeup but I won't be using it solo based on the sheen.

Some of their products are really good! I like the moisturizer I've included a picture of. Some have pore-cloggers however, so if you are acne prone please put them into a pore clogging ingredients checker first! But this one does not!

I swear by this lip balm. Last winter my lips were so dry and cracked I thought they would stay like that forever. By chance, I found this in my local pharmacy and it’s been with me ever since. I’m about to use mine up and already have a backup purchased. That’s how good it is.

The effaclar duo spot treatment has changed my life!!! I deal with cystic acne, and this is the only benzoyl peroxide treatment that I've found effective before completely drying out my skin. It is still drying, but I like that the applicator and packaging allows you to squeeze out a super tiny amount. I find that I can apply it under makeup without it effecting the application, and I experience minimal stinging. Will forever be using this product, and am excited to try more from the brand.

Affordable, unscented, and effective skincare. The branding is simple and sleek. It's safe for my sensitive skin, and the Lipikar lotion is the only product I've found that works to help reduce my KP. It spreads easily, is light but hydrating, and the pump makes it easy to apply.

Every product I’ve tried from La Roche-Posay has somehow felt like a little bit of magic. As someone with sensitive skin, I’ve come to really trust this brand, they get it. Sensitive skin isn’t just a side note for them, it’s the focus, and it shows. Their formulas are thoughtful, effective, and always worth the price. Reliable, gentle, and genuinely impressive every time.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lèvres is my go-to when my lips are cracked or irritated 💦. It’s thick, soothing, and actually repairs — not just sits on the surface like some balms. The only con? It’s not the cutest to wear out, but for overnight healing, it’s a winner 💋.

Cicaplast Gel B5 de La Roche-Posay es mi salvación para piel irritada o dañada. Ayuda a regenerar la barrera cutánea rápidamente sin dejar residuos pesados, y es ideal después del sol, afeitado o tratamientos faciales 🫧✨

This is one of the best cleansers for oily skin—gentle, yet super effective. It controls shine, clears out pores, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight. My skin always feels fresh and balanced after using it.

Absolutely love la Roche posay! Especially as I used to live in Europe, it used to be super affordable. Regardless, these products are such high quality and work so so well on my sensitive skin. Cicaplast is a holy grail

Whatever is in the water in France, sign me up! I was only buying Avene products for the thermal spring water, but La Roche-Posay is a lot easier to find (any drugstore vs online only). The prices are comparable - pricey for a drugstore brand, but worth it. Dermatologists are always recommending this brand on TikTok and I finally tried some out. They really do deliver! I am loyal to Avene for the thermal water spray, but I'm buying up the cica and other sensitive skin products from La Roche.

I’ve used a handful of La Roche Posay products. They have all reacted well with my combination acne prone skin. The cleanser and moisturizer leave my face clean without stripping it dry. My face always feels balanced after. I do struggle with acne and recently got the effaclar duo acne treatment that has 5.5% benzoyl peroxide and this actually works really well. I learned the hard way that you have to apply small amounts to your face. The first time I used it I applied too much and I had a negative reaction and my face was bright lobster red. Since then I have been using it sparingly with no issues. This brand is expensive I recommend buying on sale from the retailer or getting it on sale at ulta or using your ulta points to buy. The quality of the skincare products are excellent and I can justify buying La Roche Posay if it’s going to keep my skin looking good.
