Do You Need Gentle but EFFECTIVE Skincare?

Skin type.  Important to know, but also it can be a bit of an ever-changing situation.  The weather and your environment can all impact your skin; as can your diet and the dreaded 'mones.  Knowing your skin type is the first step to looking after your skin. 

More difficult to look after and care for - skin that is both sensitive and something else.  Sensitive and oily for example.  Products used to counteract oily skin tend to be more astringent - and astringent and sensitive do not a happy pairing make. 

Those suffering from what I like to call 'Sensitive +...' skin absolutely need to look for products that are formulated and tailored for their skin.

We're putting two products from the fantastic brand La Roche-Posay to the test.  All of La Roche-Posay products are designed for sensitive skin, whilst also targetting specific concerns.

  • ANTHELIOS has innovated sun protection in order to offer greater efficacy, tolerance and comfort for sensitive skin.
  • EFFACLAR provides daily care for acne prone skin.
  • LIPIKAR products are suited for dry to very dry and atopy-prone skin.
  • TOLERIANE provides treatment for allergies and hypersensitivity. 

We're going to be looking for 30 members to each put two La Roche-Posay products to the test.  If you fancy being among the first in New Zealand to try this world class brand tell us by taking our survey and putting your hand up!

And get chatting to us about skin type below - does yours change through the year, or depending on what you're doing?  Or has your skin been pretty much the same for as long as you can remember?

My skin is a bit high maintenance for my liking so consequently my regime is pretty boring. Can't try any and every new product so I tend to stick with tried and true. I get dry patches near my cheekbones, there are parts of my chin that can't seem to take any sort of added moisture without breaking out in zits, blackheads around my nose and chin, as well as lips that will crack if I stop using daily moisturiser, and eyes that can't tolerate heavy fragrance or they water to billy-o. I'd be happy to try these new products and give my opinion.

I need to try this! Since I was a teenager I've had acne prone skin and never had nice skin, over the years I've tried numerous skin care products, I also get dermatitis around my eyes if I use a product my skin doesn't like so I'm limited. I would love so much to try this product!!

My skin is quite a combo - I get congestion on my chin area but often get a dry forehead. I do have redness around my nose from broken capillaries, and have sensitive skin.

My skin has always been oily but is so sensitive at the moment because of the medication I'm on for my acne. It is such a nightmare to find products that help minimise oil without irritating my skin!

23rd June, 2018

I definitely have oily skin and sensitive skin! All that along with acne prone skin just makes it so difficult to find products that work effectively and well enough for me to actually continue using them for a long time. Love that this targets sensitive skin but also something that could help with acne!

Oh gosh yes! My skin becomes so dry and flaky in winter. The downside is that due to extra moisturiser that I use, it can sometimes break me out and I feel like I'm always looking for a gentle, nourishing way to keep my skin more supple.

I started getting red cheeks on my face (sadly as I get older) and it gets sensitive with the cold winter!! It'd be nice to try this product and give it a go!!!

23rd June, 2018

Yessssssss plzzzzzzz I so need to try this my face is getting so old a d tired I need to sort it plzzzz

23rd June, 2018

I get dry patches on my face through winter (around my nose, mouth and eyes) and would love to try out something that could potentially ease this

I have had super sensitive skin since having my 1st child. At times of the moth it goes dry and other times I get a wee bit of acne so it does change but still remains sensitive

23rd June, 2018

My skin is very sensitive and when I find a product that provides great results without redness or dryness then I am a happy, excited girl! I'd love to trial La Roche-Posay products to see if they can pass the test on my finicky skin.

I have combo skin and try to look after it as best I can. I don’t have too many skin woes but I am much more conscious of looking after it properly now that I am in my 40s: I try to use quality skincare products, I read more beauty reviews and I spend more time looking after my skin. When I was younger, it was acne that I was most concerned about, now I’d say it’s fine lines that I’m most conscious of. I think in winter, my skin tends to be a bit drier and I may get the odd pimple. In summer I find my skin is clearer in general and more hydrated. Interesting how it changes a bit over the seasons!

This sounds so good! I suffer from sensitive combination skin and find sensitive products often too rich for my skin. I'm generally ok with whatever in summer, but find my skin more prone to breakouts in winter - what is that??

22nd June, 2018

I don't have sensitive skin at least not atm, wait till hayfever season hits in a couple months and it will be sensitive. But if there is a trial team for a product to brighten and lessen hyperpigmentation I would love to be on that trial team.

22nd June, 2018

I think my skin does get a bit drier in winter so my current product isn't quite hydrating enough at the moment so I'm on the lookout for a new product
