La Roche-Posay

The La Roche-Posay beauty brand has a simple philosophy: to make life easier for people with sensitive skin. Not everyone has been gifted with a perfect skin that’s unaffected by strenuous conditions. Up to 70% of women say their skin is sensitive and problematic, and in cases like that it is always best to trust the dermatologists. La Roche-Posay is one of the leading experts on sensitive skin. The brand’s products are designed to protect, nourish, hydrate and generally make skin look younger and more beautiful. That is also why La Roche-Posay carries a line of makeup products aimed specifically at people with sensitive skin.

The company bears a name of a small French village of La Roche-Posay, famous for a hot spring that has been known to have calming effects on skin. At the end of the 19th century, the effects were confirmed by the French Academy of Medicine, and in 1905 the company opened its first spa centre. It didn’t take long before someone came up with the idea to start making cosmetic products with the local thermal water as a main ingredient.

What makes the water from La Roche-Posay so unique? It’s extraordinarily rich in selenium, an element that’s vital for defense mechanisms of the skin against free radicals. Selenium also has a number of other therapeutic and dermatological effects.

The La Roche-Posay brand caters to all skin types and carries products for skin, body and hair. You can choose from a wide selection of face creams, makeup products, makeup removers, shampoos or sunscreens. If your skin is dry and needs to be carefully moisturised, the Hydreane line is here for you. The Rosaliac line neutralises redness and reinvigorates the skin. La Roche-Posay Kerium DS remedies flaky skin and Effaclar was designed for oily skin that’s prone to acne. La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL protects sensitive skin against sun damage and prevents allergic reactions to tanning.

Your sensitive and highly reactive skin will no longer be a problem. La Roche-Posay products address every skin condition you can possibly think of and help your skin heal, as has been confirmed numerous times by dermatologists and other experts in both clinical studies and daily practice.
