La Roche-Posay® Toleriane Duo Reviews

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 bottles is French, but there are English directions written on the back of the bottles, and on the boxes they come in.

The bottles and the boxes 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. Likewise, the cream comes in a clear white pump bottle, and the cream inside is white. The bottle is 40ml.

The creams are designed for very sensitive, easily irritated and allergic skin. The creams are preservative-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, colorant-free and lanolin-free. My eyes and skin are very sensitive and easily irritated. Both creams lived up to their promise and did not irritate my skin. They have no discernible scent, and are easy to pump out of the bottles. They absorb well and are non-greasy. They both feel very gentle on my skin.

I think these are a great option if you are looking for higher end skin products that do not irritate your skin.

I had never tried any La Roche-Posay products before but had heard a lot about how good they were on BR. When I saw the invite for this trial I was over the moon and couldn't wait to try them out. Made in France oh la la!

First the eye cream. The instructions are actually on the inside of the box, very simple to use and feels so refreshing on your eyes. It is a lovely light formula which doesn't leave any greasy feeling.

It doesn't cause any irritation or redness and makes my eye area look plump and healthy. I love the packaging, it holds 20ml of product, you simply turn the lid which opens and closes it, great for travel as it shuts securely. I like the pump, very hygienic and easy to get the perfect amonut out. A little definitely goes a long way. It has no nasty ingredients which is amazing and exactly what you want when applying around your eyes. No noticable scent.

I have quite dry and sensitive skin so this product is perfect for me, I have been using both morning and night. I can't comment yet whether it helps reduces fine lines as it is too early to tell but I really think it helps with puffiness.

A lovely eye cream, totally recommend for people with sensitive and dry skin.

Now the moisturiser. It comes in the same awesome packaging with the pump. It holds 40ml of product, once again a little definitely goes a long way. Has no noticable smell and no horrible ingredients.

It says it can be used on the eye area also which is fantastic.  I have mainly been using this one at night as it is a little bit thicker than my normal day cream and as I work in an extremely hot environment I prefer something really light during the day.

This hydrates my skin so much! It makes it feel incredibly soft and plump. I had some dry patches above my eyebrows and they literally disappeared after the first use. I feel it makes me look a little shiny which is another reason I prefer it at night. I wake up with amazing looking skin every morning. No dryness and it has not broken me out. Woohoo!

Together these make an amazing duo, if you have sensitive, dry skin I highly recommend these. The price is great and the products are amazing. Thanks BR for giving me the opportunity to trial these! Love them :-)

The packaging is nice and simple with the boxes being a good size. There is good info on both the boxes and the bottles themselves, with instructions for eye cream application on the inside of the box. Both bottles have pumps which twist and lock. I like the pump as you don't get too much at one time. The face cream is thick and creamy with minimal scent. It absorbs quickly into my skin without being greasy. It has slightly minimized the redness in my cheeks and since using I haven't has any angry red itchy patches. As a plus this can also be used around your eyes. It keeps my skin hydrated all day. The eye cream is thinner and kind of silky. This doesn't have any scent that I could smell. It reduced the puffiness around my eyes and they looked less tired. This is the first eye cream that I didn't get that stinging when you accidentally get some in your eyes. Overall I have found these two to be a great combo, and after using for just over a week, the products don't seem to have gone down much. The only downside is the price. It is out of mine and probably may others budget. However if on special I might buy it for myself.

Individually these are amazing products that I am really loving to use. My skin is smoother, more hydrated, softer and has no irritation or redness since using these two products. I look forward to my morning and evening skin care routine! The feel silky to the touch and luxurious. I highly recommend this brand and these products for those with sensitive skin and I will continue to use them.

Being picked for this review couldn't have come at a better time as I had just had my eye area fibroblasted two weeks earlier so my skin was ultra sensitive around my eyes and was needing a bit of extra tlc. The pump dispensing mechanism on these lightweight bottles gave the a perfect (maybe slightly generous) amount. I used one pump of the eye cream which was very soothing around my eyes and glided on easily. I don't like to skimp on the eye area. My eye area was a little itchy and prickly because of the treatment I had just had but found that over the course of the week that this helped it settle. I used two pumps of the face cream but possibly would've used three if I wasn't using the eye cream also. Again this glided on easily and spreads nicely and left my skin feeling silky. Both creams are fragrance free and don't contain nasties like parabens or alcohol so that is always a bonus for me. My skin definately seemed very hydrated after using these products and I felt that my skin seemed more clearer than usual and I did receive comments that my skin was looking good! It is a little pricey which is the downside for me but I would probably pay the extra for the benefits it seemed to give my skin

First, the packaging. I love the pump mechanism which is explained on both boxes. It ensures no air can enter the bottle, meaning there is no need for extra preservatives in the moisturiser. What a great idea!

The daily moisturiser is probably my favourite of these two products, and the one I would consider re-purchasing. It really delivers 'ultra' moisture as the label suggests.

As a duo, the two work well together. They have helped with redness and inflammation that I have on my nose. This is significant for me because my red nose is something I'm quite self-conscious about.

I had a massive breakout all over my face before starting this trial, so for people who struggle with acne or pimples these products won't make your breakouts better or worse. At least it is good to know that this duo didn't block my skin which would have made the pimples much much worse.

This came at the perfect time. Having sensitive skin and allergies I was so delighted to get picked for this trial - thanks BR!

My skin is very temperamental I have to be so careful with what I use and test everything. I have been hospitalised by a sunscreen so although some think all skincare is the same it really isn't.

I actually emailed LRP about samples, stockists etc and they were so good and so helpful.. they are a branch of L'Oréal too I notice so a familiar brand which is good to know. I have purchased a LRP sunscreen after testing is at life pharmacy and they have lots of other LRP testers too so if your curious definitely stop in there and go wild on the testers.

Anyhow I really rate this as a duo. Especially the intense soothing care. I was daring and didn't even test patch I just went full face with it. And no reaction as expected with a solution aimed at sensitive skin.

I am actually using this set morning and night as recommended. The best thing about the morning application is it acts exactly like my $50+ primer!! If not better! It lightly lingers on the skin and feels soft and smooth. It makes sunscreen and makeup application a breeze.

It's non greasy and lightweight but keeps a nice barrier on the skin for hours following application. The eye contour soothes and cools and soothing care formula works quickly to provide a moisture barrier while soothing the skin.

Packaging is very much my style simple and stylish. The modern design of the bottle is actually quite amazing - you can YouTube it even. It's got a bag inside the tube that almost shrinks down as you use it.. amazing technology - to keep your product fresh.

Love this.

I have only recently heard of La Roche-Posay and was excited to try the Toleriane Duo.

I loved how the packaging was minimalist, and each bottle had a twist lock cap - no need for an additional plastic lid and awesome for travel. The product felt rich and didn’t have a overpowering smell which some products tend to have.

With this product a little goes a long way, which makes it great value for money. Using the eye cream left my eyes feeling well hydrated all day, and after a few days I started to notice a visible positive difference in the skin around my eyes. The face cream was not oily, and left my skin feeling healthy.

My only beef with these products was how much info in various languages they cram on the packaging - it makes it hard for those with visual issues to read!

i love that these products do not have any fragrance my skin is very sensitive to fragrance and these do a perfect job of not breaking me out. the eye cream feels amazing under my eyes and is so hydrating. the moisturizer leaves my skin looking so pump. when using these together it is such a lovely combination.
