La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer with SPF 30, 2.5 Fl. Oz.

Product Information

To simplify your search for a great face moisturizer, we put 64 face moisturizers to the test in The Verywell Testing Lab and at home. We tested 29 moisturizers for oily skin and 35 moisturizers for dry skin. And we divided our testers into two teams based on skin type: 18 tested the moisturizers for oily skin, while 21 tested the moisturizers for dry skin. Though the cream wasn’t as fast-absorbing as some of our other favorites, it didn’t take long to soak in. And it felt lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear. Given its non-greasy texture, the moisturizer is great for various skin types, like dry, combination, and sensitive skin. And if you have oily skin, Versed recommends using the rich lotion as a night cream—not an everyday moisturizer.

The details: This brand-new Double Repair option is formulated to provide all-day hydration without the shine and helps to repair the skin barrier after one hour. The addition of silica and perlite help control excess oil, keep skin shine-free all day and minimize the appearance of pores. It will leave all skin tones with even the most sensitive skin feeling refreshed with a matte finish. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer The moisturizer is great for different skin types, including dry, combination, and oily. But it has a strong green tea fragrance, which we found overwhelming. We were able to get past the smell and fall in love with the cream. But people who are sensitive to smells may not like it.La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water: Sourced from France, this naturally mineral-rich water has a high concentration of selenium, which is a potent antioxidant.

Those with skin prone to dryness, eczema, psoriasis, or the signs of aging may benefit most from using a ceramide moisturizer, she adds, but everyone can (and should) incorporate them. It’s also formulated specifically for melanin-rich skin, so it brightens with ingredients that are compatible with skin of color, such as niacinamide. DHC’s Olive Virgin Oil Essential Cream works wonders on dry and dehydrated skin. Made with olive oil, the rich moisturizer isn’t great for every skin type. (Oil-based moisturizers aren’t ideal for oily skin, King says.) But it’s great at combating dryness. Within 15 minutes, the moisturizer made our dry skin feel hydrated and dewy. It even seemed to fill in fine lines, giving our skin a plumper, almost-retouched look.

La Roche Posay's moisturizer doesn't contain these ingredients, so it's a dream for my sensitive skin. And while it leaves out a lot of the bad stuff, it also contains beneficial ingredients as well. Like ceramides, which help restore your skin's moisture barrier somoisture doesn't evaporate. There's also niacinamide, or vitamin B5, to help with redness and the appearance of pore size; hyaluronic acid, which keeps helps skin retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water; and prebiotic thermal water, which definitely sounds like it's from a fairy tale, but actually keeps more of the good bacteria on your skin to help fight the bad bacteria that can cause acne. The experts at LovelySkin have partnered with La Roche-Posay to share information about their Toleriane Double Repair products. SkinCeuticals’ Daily Moisture is one of the priciest moisturizers we tested. But we think it’s worth every penny. The moisturizer contains hyaluronic acid, algae extract, panthenol, vitamin E, and witch hazel. So it does a lot at once, simultaneously hydrating, toning, and exfoliating your skin. The moisturizer is also oil-free, fragrance-free, and sensitive-skin-friendly. So it’s great for a range of skin types. Paris has combination skin and uses the tinted version of this moisturizer every day. But it wowed us when we tested it on dry skin, too. Our most affordable recommendation is a classic beauty product for acne-prone skin. Cetaphil's offering boasts a liquidy lotion formula that won't leave the skin shiny like a disco ball and it's got a non-comedogenic formula that doesn't clog pores.Other moisturizing ingredients to look for include hyaluronic acid, glycerin, cholesterol, and peptides, says Dr. Klein. Fortunately, all of them can be found in the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream. Humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin draw water into the skin while fatty acids like ceramides and cholesterol support skin barrier function. Peptides are best for those looking for anti-aging ingredients since they increase firmness and plumpness. I have combination, acne- and redness-prone skin that's very sensitive — it's a real trip shopping for skincare products that won't irritate it even more. As Galaria noted, oil-free moisturizers are great for oily skin—and Tatcha’s The Water Cream is no exception. But the lightweight moisturizer takes things a step further: One of its key ingredients, leopard lily, actually reduces the amount of oil in your skin. We also like that this top-notch moisturizer is budget-friendly. And since a little goes a long way, the 1.5-ounce tub of cream should last you a while.
