Another great moisturiser from La Roche-Posay (I already really rate the Toleriane Fluid for very light, effective hydration): the Toleriane Ultra Overnight Care. This is an intensely soothing, comfortable night cream that feels very rich but doesn’t leave any greasiness – it’s a great addition to your skincare line-up if your skin is often irritated and dry.
The Toleriane range targets sensitive skin that’s quite intolerant and reactive and so the products – there are various cleansers as well as moisturisers – tend to be rather minimalist and are free from fragrance, alcohol, colourants and preservatives as well as lanolin, if that’s something that you look out for. The packaging (at least for the Toleriane Ultra creams) is hermetically sealed, so the cream inside won’t go off or become contaminated even though there are no preservatives. Well worth a look through the whole range if you have easily irritated skin – the mono-dose makeup removers are absolutely brilliant if your eyes can’t tolerate normal formulas. They are also great for travelling as you can just take a few in your makeup bag rather than having to heft a bigger bottle about with you.
Anyway, I digress: it’s the Toleriane Ultra Overnight Care that’s been saving my face for the past couple of weeks. Extreme stress (seems to be my sport of choice) and a terrible diet coupled with the central heating being cranked up high have left me ...
