If you’re a lover of all things French, you probably can’t resist La Roche Posay, a tried and trusted French cosmetic line. The small village of La Roche Posay in central France is home to selenium-rich thermal waters, which have been used to treat inflammatory skin conditions for many years and are now incorporated into many La Roche Posay treatments.
I’m a big fan of La Roche Posay and their Redermic C line is no exception. Redermic C is formulated with a high concentration of active ingredients and provides intense daily anti-wrinkle firming fill-in-care. It reduces the appearance of even deep wrinkles and visibly restores skin firmness in even the most sensitive of skin. Its re-plumping, fresh and melting texture leaves a matte, velvety and non-greasy finish. It is also an excellent make-up base. It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and is recommended for:
- Deep wrinkles and lines
- Irregular complexion
- Premature age spots
In clinical studies, Redermic C has been shown to reduce wrinkles at 8 weeks:
- 30% reduction in upper lip wrinkles
- 24% reduction in forehead wrinkle
- 22% reduction in crow’s feet
We stock 3 Redermic C formulations:
- La Roche Posay Redermic C Dry Skin
- La Roche Posay Redermic C Normal/Combination Skin
- La Roche Posay Redermic C Eyes
Redermic C contains:
1. Madecassoside: known for its skin repairing abilities
2. 5% pure Vitamin C: a powerful antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient
3. Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid: An ingredient naturally found in the skin that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Fragmented, hyaluronic acid diffuses better into skin than larger molecules, visibly plumping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and enhance skin’s firmness.
4. Mannose: A sugar which hydrates skin, thereby smoothing wrinkles.
5. Neurosensine: A peptide withe the ability to reduce the signs of skin sensitivity. It works to help increase the tolerance of other high concentration active ingredients.
La Roche Posay treatments are formulated according to two fundamental principles: high standards and dermatological safety. All of their highly concentrated formulas are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and are tightly packaged under sterile conditions.
