La Roche-Posay® Toleriane Ultra Sensitive Eye Contour Reviews

I've had a lot of allergic reactions and the usual flare up area is around my eyes. It's such sensitive skin. This winter has been hard on my skin and my eye area has been quite dry. I was so happy and excited to try this! I have heard great things about the brand and the reviews from other trials were great so I couldn't wait to try LRP for myself.

For a start the packaging is stylish and simple. Blue and white. Easy directions and instructions for use. It's recommended for use twice a day and I did follow this.

The tube is the ultra hermetic packaging it's quite fun to watch the bag inside shrink down with use. It's this technology that keeps the product fresh. The tube has a pump that you press to use.. one pump is too much - I definitely found for the eye area just a partial press of the pump was plenty. It's a bit finer the solution of the eye contour cream vs. the face cream.

The cream itself spreads easily. It's non greasy and glides effortlessly across the skin. So very light weight. I actually stored mine in the fridge - it was nice to take from the fridge to face and the coolness felt great.

The effectiveness.. It's incredible how long it makes your skin feel hydrated for. It packs some moisture and obviously keeps that moisture layer on your skin. It's great just like the face cream. My skin looked and felt smooth and dewy. The pair act like a primer in my opinion and are a great base for sunscreen and makeup.

The only thing I did notice was sometimes when I rubbed my eye a little bit of product rubbed off but looking at it I wouldn't even know it was there. The effects are worth it. I noticed instantly my skin was hydrated and after a few days use my dry scaly patches especially at the side of my eyes just inwards from my temple had recovered. I had less redness from where I had my dry patches and it definitely helped reduce puffiness - especially with the coolness from keeping it in the fridge. So handy with the dryness of winter and all the pollen out there at the moment.

Love this duo.

No more puffiness, dryness or sensitivity. This cream delivers on all fronts. Using morning and night has made a great difference to the skin around my eye. No scent or fragrance and easy to use.

I have never had success with eye creams. My under and around eye area is prone to sensitivity; burning sensations and all around sensitive.

This product actually worked for me! It has reduced the puffiness around my from lack of sleep and has stopped the sensitivity around my eyes (even when removing eye makeup). It has definitely calmed my eye area!

The packaging, like the moisturiser, is classy (you have to love French words), simple and scent-free. The pump design allows just a small amount of product at a time, which is perfect as a little goes a long way. This cream is a nice consistency to apply - not too watery but not super thick. It spreads easily, allowing for the product to be applied easily as instructed (dab the product around your eyes, apply a gentle from the inner corner of your eyes to the outer, apply light pressure over the entire eye).

The one thing that I wasn't a fan of was the detailed instructions on application being printed inside the box (not on a leaflet or on the outer of the box). It just seemed strange. It is also quite a pricey product (by my standards), but in knowing it works for me and doesn't irritate my skin whatsoever, I would definitely buy this again!

I have used a couple of la Roche-posay products prior to this review; and really enjoyed them! Their effaclear face wash is my holy grail so I was interested in seeing what a mainly ‘one brand’ routine would look like for me.

This product is part of their ‘ultra sensitive skin‘ line have no fragrance to them, and a nice ‘medicinal’ look to their packaging - think luxe laboratory/fancy spa styles. I like that they are both in a pump bottle, not sticking your fingers in to a whole jar is always quite nice!

Eye cream - 20ml. A little definitely goes a long way with this, think half of a pea sized dot between your two eyes. I used a little too much a couple of times and did notice when rubbing my eyes later in the day, that I could feel some product that was sitting on my skin had balled up with me rubbing. I have noticed that my under eye area is more ‘plump’ and not as bumpy after a week of applying every morning (and some evenings). I tap this in gently on my under eye area and under my eyebrows with my ring finger. No complaints and has not irritated my skin at all, I haven’t noticed any changes with wrinkles/crows feet as it hasn’t been long enough and I don’t really have too many of them either. I do have a few little ‘bumps’ or rough texture under my eyes usually and this has smoothed the skin beautifully.

This seemed to interact well with my La Roche-Posay face wash and hydrated my skin beautifully after cleansing. I will definitely consider purchasing this again when I run out

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this skincare brand. This is not a skincare brand I had heard of before, so I was curious to try it.

La Roche-Posay is a French brand that is made in France. The main language on the bottle is French, but there are English directions written on the back of the bottle, and on the box it comes in.

The bottle and the box are both white with black lettering and blue accents. The eye contour comes in a clear white pump bottle, and the cream inside is white. The bottle is 20ml. The instructions say to apply the eye contour both morning and night, and there are directions on how best to apply it to the eye area pictured on the inside of the box. They can be a little hard to see if you do not break the box open to read the inside. The instructions reveal a 4-step process for gently applying the cream to the eye area.

When I first received this product I was a little confused by the term “contour” as I thought it meant some kind of eye product to give shaping to the eye. But now that I have used it, “contour” seems to be another way to describe this as an eye cream, specifically a cream for the curved, delicate eye area.

This cream is designed for very sensitive, easily irritated eyes and skin. My eyes and skin are both very sensitive and easily irritated. There are hardly any creams I can put near my eyes, including specifically designed eye creams. I am glad to say that this cream lived up to its promise and did not irritate my eyes. It has no discernible scent, and it is easy to pump out of the bottle and to apply to the eye are. It absorbs well too and is non-greasy. It is also meant to reduce puffiness in the eye area. This is not something that I suffer from, so I cannot say as to whether or not it worked.

Altogether this is a gentle and mild cream that feels rich and non-irritating on the skin.

This eye cream has no smell at all and doesn't look greasy when applied.

My eye area feels soothed and comfortable after putting this on and it seems smoother so it goes well under makeup.

The price is a bit much for an eye cream though so unless you have sensitive skin save your bucks.

I adore this eye cream! No more stingy eyes or eye area. I have been longing for a product that wont leave my sore after use. I have finally found a winner!

The bottle is quite small with a pump top. A very little product goes a very long way. Its super smoothe and rubs in well. Its very soothing. My eye area feels very fresh and hydrated after use. Another plus side is that my puffiness has disappeared from my under eye area.

I fully recommend this to all of you with sensitive skin

I was so super excited to get on the trial team for this and couldn't wait to open it up and try it out! I feel like I might still need a wee while longer for this eye contour cream to give it a full opinion, but i'll let you know what I think so far!

First of all, I really love the packaging/the pump that is used, it pumps out probably a little too much so I've just been using half a pump, a little goes a long way! The only thing I didn't really like about the packaging was that the instructions were on the inside of the box, I would have preferred them to be on the bottle or on the outside of the box, I thought it was a bit weird to have it inside where it was almost hidden, but not a biggy really!

These cream has left my under eyes feeling soo hydrated, it's so dreamy! I usually struggle with dry eyes, mainly in the corners underneath, but this has helped so much with that. I feel like my eyes are more plump and less puffy, no noticeable difference with fine lines yet but I really hope this does end up helping with them!

I did find because this is quite creamy it takes a little longer to soak in to the skin, so I've just made sure I pop this on and then do something else while it soaks in, so I have had to change my routine a little to accommodate it.

I love how this product doesn't sting or make me dry out and itch, I also didn't notice any over powering fragrance, if any at all, so that is always nice too! Overall I'm pretty happy with this and will continue to use!

This eye cream comes in a small transparent sealed pump bottle that can twist to lock and seals from germs so harsh preservatives aren't needed. I bottle is practical but still looks expensive and nice.

I have sensitive eczema-prone skin (occasionally on the eyelids) and also hayfever, so most days my eyes are quite puffy or red. This eye cream goes on very smoothly and absorbs quickly without any greasy residue. There's also no stinging if any gets in your eyes which is amazing, probably due to the lack of fragrance and other irritating ingredients. I found that this cream soothes my eyes when they are irritated and would be fantastic for reducing wrinkles (thankfully I don't have any yet but doesn't hurt to take preventative measures!).

This cream contains squalane oil which I've been raving about for a while now - for me it's a miracle oil and the only oil my face can tolerate without getting irritated. It's found naturally in the skin so it absorbs easily and doesn't feel greasy.

The only downside to this eye cream is the price - $40 for 20mL. You don't need to use much - maybe the size of a popcorn kernel? - so the bottle would probably last a few months. I'm not sure if it's worth having a dedicated eye cream in addition to a normal face cream, but if you did want/need one then I would definitely recommend this one.
