Reviews mention

  • Gentle, cushiony cleansers
  • Dermatologist-recommended formulations
  • Soothing, restorative balms
  • Effective, lightweight sunscreens
  • Occasionally heavy, filmy textures
  • White-cast sunscreen residue
  • Potential congestion for acne-prone
  • Intermittent stinging for sensitivities

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.

  • La Roche-Posay has quickly become one of my go-to skincare brands. Their products are specifically designed for sensitive skin, and I've seen a noticeable improvement in texture and hydration since I started using them. The thermal spring water in their formulations is incredibly soothing, making their creams and serums a dream to apply. The Toleriane line, in particular, is fantastic for my reactive skin. I appreciate that their products are often recommended by dermatologists, giving me confidence in what I'm using. Overall, La Roche-Posay delivers effective and gentle skincare solutions that I would highly recommend.

  • LRP is my #1 go to. I believe they can address any skin concerns and you just need to figure out which line to use for your concerns. It is so good.

  • I've tried many LRP products over the years. Nothing fancy, just simple ingredients that are gentle on the skin.

  • My favorite product is the Cicaplast Balm B5. I use it as a hand cream before bed and it makes them sooooo hydrated in the morning.

  • Their sunscreen is absolutely amazing. Works wonders to block UV rays and goes on extremely light. Does not feel thick, sticky, nor have a strong sunscreen scent. Literally feels like putting on lotion.

  • Their gentle cleanser is the best in the market. I won't use anything else and I love they have a travel version of it <3

  • My staple everyday sunscreen. Definitely works for the Texas heat. I use the Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra-Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50. It tends to leave a white cast, so I make sure to use only a little bit at a time and I wait for it to absorb before I leave the house.

  • The Toleriane Double Repair Facial Moisturizer is one of my favorite lightweight moisturizers. It almost has a gel-like feeling which makes it feel cooling on the skin, especially during the summer.

  • I have tried the triple moisturizer and I loved it! This product left my face feeling so refreshed I felt like I could take on the world!

  • My review is specifically for their "Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream", my dermatologist recommended this when I was struggling with eczema on the back of my hands that kept coming back after I stopped using steroid eczema treatments. This seemed to help more than any lotion I tried, I used it in addition to the steroid cream, but after I completed my prescription I kept using this and it seems to help prevent it from returning. I use it when ever I start getting patches again and it seems to help. It also has the National Eczema Association seal of approval.

  • Across the whole line, I have not found anything that irritates my sensitive skin. Although the product is on the expensive side, it is effective and long-lasting with serums and eye creams applied 2x a day lasting up to 8 months.

  • As someone with extremely sensitive skin, this brand is huge for me. I use their prebiotic cicaplast moisturizer in the AM and PM and have noticed a significant decrease in my skin sensitivity.

  • Bought this as a recommendation for a 4 month old with eczema. This cleared the under chin eczema within a week. Also love their eco friendly packaging.

  • I started using the Cicaplast Baume when my old moisturizer stopped being sold. I was exctatic to find a new mouistrizer that didn't irritate my skin and didn't leave my skin feeling sticky. I recently started using their sunscreen and equally love that product as well. I look forward to the next La Roche-Posay product I try.

  • As an active biker during summer and winter my skin is sensitive against cold and warmth. Since last year I have been using La Roche-Posay skin products Lipikar shower oil and Lipikar Baume AP+M. Since I started using it my skin doesn't tend to react to the cold anymore and no more discomforts of it. Lipikar AP+M is not greasy and has no smell. I'm happy with the products.

  • FAVORITE skincare brand. Love ever single product the company has, they have the best face moisture. I have extremely sensitive skin and their balm in my all time favorite to heal my skin. AMAZING brand
