Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer

Product Information

SkinCeuticals’ Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 may be the priciest product on our list. But when we tested it on combination skin, it worked wonders. The moisturizer balanced out the oiliest parts of our face, making them look matte rather than shiny. And it hydrated all our dry spots, boosting moisture by 5 percent, according to our moisture meter. Originating from the N°1 thermal dermatology center in Europe, La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water has scientifically demonstrated soothing and protective properties. Prebiotics are a type of non-digestible fiber compound that provide indirect benefits by enhancing the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms that make up the skin’s microbiome. In the 17th century, Pierre Milon, a doctor to Henry IV and Louis XIII, went to the spring to conduct an analysis of the water. He discovered that the thermal water was naturally rich in selenium, an essential trace mineral, which provided the water with its unique soothing and antioxidant skincare properties. SkinCeuticals’ Daily Moisture is one of the priciest moisturizers we tested. But we think it’s worth every penny. The moisturizer contains hyaluronic acid, algae extract, panthenol, vitamin E, and witch hazel. So it does a lot at once, simultaneously hydrating, toning, and exfoliating your skin.

The active sunscreen ingredients in La Roche Posay Double Repair Moisturizer with SPF include avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. All of these ingredients are classified as chemical sunscreen agents, which protect the skin by first absorbing UV light, then transforming that light energy into some other form of energy, such as heat. During our test, the moisturizer proved lightweight, easy to apply, and fast-absorbing. And it balanced out our skin, boosting moisture by 22 percent while reducing oil by 7 percent. After using the moisturizer, our skin felt hydrated and refreshed. But we didn’t notice an immediate difference in our complexion. And we’re curious to test this moisturizer long-term to see how well it works on blemishes and discoloration over time. And, like all La Roche Posay skincare products, this moisturizer includes the brand’s Thermal Spring Water. We’ll give you all the details on this unique water in the Key Ingredients section below. While retinol provides many benefits to the skin, it’s also known to cause side effects like skin dryness and irritation.

We noticed that the formula includes many of the same key ingredients as other La Roche Posay moisturizers, such as glycerin, squalane, shea butter, niacinamide, and dimethicone. After being absorbed by the skin, retinol is converted to its active form, retinoic acid. Retinoic acid works deep within the skin where it boosts collagen synthesis, increases elasticity, repairs connective tissue, and increases cell turnover. The end result is smoother, healthier skin with fewer lines and wrinkles and a more even skin tone. Kopari recommends this moisturizer for dry and normal skin types. But when we tested it on oily skin, it worked like a dream, too. According to our moisture meter, the cream boosted moisture by 36 percent while reducing oil by 41 percent. And it smoothed out our skin without any shine or grease. We especially love that the lotion went on smoothly and left behind no residue, even when tested on darker skin tones.

The formula includes ascorbic acid, also known as pure vitamin C, which is a potent antioxidant that protects skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. Vitamin C also helps to brighten the complexion, fade dark spots, and even reduce lines and wrinkles by stimulating new collagen production. The moisturizer is also one of the most versatile on our list. In addition to being great for different skin types (including dry, oily, and combination skin), it’s fragrance-free and sensitive-skin-friendly. And at a budget-friendly price, we think it’s a steal. Because the moisturizer is so rich, we wouldn’t recommend it for oily skin. But it’s great for other skin types, like dry and combination skin. The 1.68-ounce moisturizer feels a little bit expensive. But since it does the work of three products, it’s easy to justify the buy. There’s also skin-soothing Neurosensine, which makes this moisturizer great for anyone with allergy-prone, ultra-sensitive skin.Bottom Line: A fragrance-free body cream with shea butter, dimethicone, niacinamide, and Aqua Posae Filiformis, which help to strengthen the skin barrier to alleviate dry skin.
