I recently spoke to a customer who is a loyal user of La Roche Posay skin care products. The brand offers a wide selection of effective products including Anthelios sunscreens, Mela D serums and creams, anti-aging preparations and treatments for dry skin so it’s not surprising that it’s a top seller at our store.
Her concern was that when it came to skin care, should she use everything La Roche Posay?
Unfortunately, the answer isn’t that simple. As with most things in life, what works for one individual may not work for another and that rule definitely applies to skin care. In theory you could find just about everything you need for your skin within the La Roche Posay family. However, individual variation (which tends to make people and life far more interesting) means that a great La Roche Posay cleanser may not work for you. The ingredients may be too harsh – leading to irritation – or too gentle – leaving your skin feeling unclean. And, you may also be someone who can tolerate one product well, while reacting to another in the line, for whatever reason.
What’s more important than sticking to any particular skin care brand is to ensure that you take good care of your skin. Finding and using products that work for you and that fit in your budget are key, regardless of the brand. Look for:
- Gentle cleansers that won’t strip away your natural oils
- UVA/UVB blocking sunscreens that help to protect skin from damaging ultraviolet rays
- Moisturizers that work for your skin type
- Treatments that address your particular skin concerns: wrinkles and fine lines, acne or hyperpigmentation
Good skin care products can be found in all price ranges and are not restricted to any one particular brand.
