Not only does this cleanser wash away extra oil on your skin, but it’s also formulated to help clear breakouts and impurities, according to the brand. Ingredients like salicylic acid target blackheads and whiteheads, while the formula’s lipo-hydroxy acid exfoliates and removes roughness and uneven texture, according to the brand. The formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin, too, and is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.
After being sent this spot treatment by La Roche-Posay, it almost immediately became my favorite product for addressing breakouts. The prescription-strength adapalene is a powerful retinoid that clears all forms of blemishes, including blackheads and whiteheads, by accelerating your skin’s cell turnover, according to the brand. When I use this treatment, my pimples are half the size after the first day, and almost completely gone by the second (depending on the size). I also love how quickly it absorbs into my skin; I apply it right after my serums, and it dries down within the two minute pause I take before following up with my moisturizer.
If you struggle with oily skin, this may be the right moisturizer for you. It has zinc pidolate, perlite, and silica to absorb extra oil and combat shine, while thermal spring water soothes your skin with antioxidants, according to La Roche-Posay00. The moisturizer’s mattifying properties make it a great base for makeup, and the non-comedogenic formula is ideal for sensitive skin.
The salicylic acid in this toner gently exfoliates your skin, which helps prevent acne, according to the brand. The toner also has glycolic acid to unclog pores and address uneven skin texture. The toner’s also free from fragrance, oils and parabens, while the thermal spring water has antioxidants that calm stressed skin.
This acne treatment is lightweight and non-comedogenic, making it safe to use for those with sensitive skin. It helps clear and prevent breakouts using a triple acid complex made from glycolic acid, lipo-hydroxy acid and salicylic acid, according to the brand. The complex also reduces the appearance of pores, fine lines and dark spots, while the treatment’s niacinamide soothes the skin and limits any irritation.
Pimple patches are great for addressing breakouts and blemishes, and these La Roche-Posay patches provide a barrier on the skin that absorb the bump’s oils and fluids, according to the brand. This helps protect your breakout from any external irritation (including any picking or popping). The patches are invisible, so you can wear them on their own or even under makeup, according to the brand.
Micellar water is ideal to use as a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin, especially because of how easily it removes makeup, while simultaneously toning your skin. Micelle molecules trap dirt and oil, which lets them be easily wiped away, while zinc helps remove excess oils, according to the brand. The water also has glycerin to rehydrate your skin after cleansing.
This cleanser gently washes oily skin without stripping it of all its moisture, according to the brand. The key ingredient, zinc pidolate, has cleansing properties that remove excess oil, making it great for mattifying skin while still maintaining your skin’s pH balance. It’s also formulated without oils or alcohol, according to the brand.
