La Roche-Posay: Toleriane Soothing Protective Lotion

27 June 2011 Tags: , , , , , No Comment

la-roche-posay-toleriane-combinationI’ve reviewed the Toleriane riche cream for dry skin previously and thought I’d add a review for the Toleriane lotion for normal-combinaiton skins that I have been using as well. I always use either of these toleriane creams in conjunction with the Cicaplast healing gel whenever I have an eczema break out because they never, ever cause even the slightest bit of irritation for me and the Cicalplast is almost as good as steroid creams at healing eczema. Basically my review for the riche version holds here, except I use the Toleriane riche cream when my skin is extra dry and the lotion for combination skin when it is on the oily side. This is usually a summer/winter difference, and I always tend to have one or the other at hand to use when my skin gets reactive or a full blown case of eczema.
The combination-skin lotion provides the perfect amount of hydration when the skin is already a bit greasy and clogged up. With eczema, I tend to avoid washing my face as much and the skin can get a bit too oily, even though those oils are good for eczema. I find the combo version never gives me acne as would be expected from a product for combo skin- it generally tends to be good on acne prone skin as it balances oil secretion well. The lotion has a lighter, more fluid texture and consistency than the cream but is viscous enough to apply easily and absorbs well too.
With all creams or lotions for use on eczema they have to be tested first as everyones skin can be a bit different but this is bound to be close to safe for most, as it is formulated specifically for reactive, sensitive skin and in my experience has lived up to that. All in all this is a great option for sensitive, combination skin generally and also for use during eczema breakouts which is a rarity.
