Beauty: La Roche-Posay Effaclar BB Blur

When I seen that Escentual had the La Roche-Posay Effaclar BB Blur  on offer for just under £13, I thought I would give it whirl. I have read a number of positive reviews, seen a lot of hype about it on Twitter - so was intrigued to see what it was like. I really like La Roche-Posay as a brand, and their Cicoplast Repair Balm is a product I just couldn't be without.

Beauty || La Roche Posay Skincare for Dry Skin

I have rambled on about La Roche- Posay before and it`s one of my favourite pharmacy skincare brands.
 

I have been using the *La Roche-Posay  Physiological Cleansing Milk of a morning.  This is a white, light milk cleanser which has a very clean none offensive scent. Pretty much what ya want first thing. A nice light cream lotion that is just washing away any dirt that has built up overnight. 

 

It is Physiological pH, soap-free, alcohol-free, colorant-free, formulated without paraben.

Yes, yes, yes so it is just perfect for sensitive skin.  

 

My skin has been loving this, it feels soothing and hydrating on application. I love the pump dispenser and overall for me it`s pretty much perfect.  This can also be used to remove make-up of a night and has rave reviews that it 100% does, but I haven't personally tried it in my night time cleansing routine.

My skin kicks up a fuss if it doesn't like something. It`s extremely sensitive. It will go red, spots will descend and it is just a nightmare so I am always genuinely sceptical trying new skincare, but this is an affordable cleanser that I just couldn't be without. My favourite product out the three.

Onto the *La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water Spray. I could imagine this is just perfect in the more warmer months to freshen up, without having an actual wash and all your make-up sliding off your face.

It`s a light spray mist of La Roche-Posay`s specially formulated thermal water dispensed like an aerosol that feels soothing and cooling, personally I spritz after I have used an exfoliating toner in my skincare routine.

I feel it just refreshes the skin and moistens things back up a tad before I apply a serum. 

*La Roche-Posay Hydreane Rich Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin 40ml this product has everything you would want out of a moisturiser. It has a deeply nourishing formation that is perfect for dry skin. It is a white rich cream that feels super soothing on application and doesn't leave a greasy residue behind. I use the word soothing quite a lot as people who have dry skin know that's all you ever want to feel when applying a product.

 I especially love it in the morning before I apply my make-up. It feels so rich on application and feels like it is protecting the skin, (love when you can feel a product doing its thang) with the colder months creeping in I just couldn't be without a product like this. The harsh elements and increased exposure to central heating start playing havoc with our skin. So we need to be prepared. This will be a product I will repurchase and use daily.

So to surmise La Roche-Posay rocks! It`s an affordable French skincare brand (and we all know the French have skincare nailed anyway) that offer a range of products catered for all skin types, and well if you haven't tried anything from them I 100% recommend you should.

Escentual currently have a 1/3 off all French Pharmacy brands, so go take advantage.

As if it wasn't cheap enough, well now you have no excuse.

Beauty || La Roche - Posay New Effaclar Anti-Blemish System

 

 

 

Last Christmas I rambled about the La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo. My skin was in a bad place and I had read such good things about this product. Instead of linking the whole post I thought I would take a chunk from that post (of the best bits) and put it here so you can read my thoughts. 

Ohhh you think am a being lazy?? Wellll, am gonna stop you right there and explain. I ain't being lazy or cutting corners, I just truly think I hit the nail on the head the first time round, no point fixing it if it ain't broken huh? 

 

La Roche-Posay claim " Pores are purified, and imperfections appear reduced. Skin looks smoother and clearer. It appears to regain a long-lasting balance to help recover the qualities of more healthy-looking skin."

****************************************************************************************

My Thoughts!

" This is a white light serum like fluid, with no scent that springs to mind. Once on the skin it absorbs super quick. I could see the difference in two days using this cream. My blocked pores had reduced drastically. No other product has ever done this. Any blemishes I had were not as vicious and had calmed down in half the time it usually takes the little scoundrels to go.

I was using this every day, morning and night for around 5 days and It did dry my skin out. It's targeted for oily skin, which it does say all over the packaging my skin is not - it`s dry as a bone.

 I now use it soley on the area where the breakouts are (chin in my case) as a treatment, as it is just too drying for my dry skin to use everywhere.

I use it at the stage when a serum is used, i then apply a nourishing moisturiser after. This process works great for me. I can highly recommend this to anyone who is having problems with their skin, in regard's to spots and acne this is sure to help. I wish I would of took photos to show you the difference, I just didn't expect it to be so good. It calmed the area and dried it up quicker than anything else I have tried."

***********************************************************************

 

Ok, so yes as you can see I love this product. This was a year ago and I still use it when my skin kicks off. There is no denying this helps clear spots and breakouts.

 

Readers of this blog will know I have dry and dehydrated skin, so unfortunately this skincare set and the whole shibang isn't tailored for my skin. I have just got my skin back in shape, (punch emoji) so wasn't risking using a skincare set that is aimed for oily skin.

 

 I already have a stash of the Effaclar Duo Plus ( far right product on picture) in my stash (Boots 3 for 2 I am looking at you). 

 

As I can`t use this  * New Effaclar Anti-Blemish System in conjunction with La Roche - Posay I would love to give my readers a chance to win this fantastic set, so people with oily/normal skin and/or suffer with breakouts get involved, this is gonna show them little rascals who's boss.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Corrective and Unclogging Anti-imperfectioncare.

Since giving birth to my little boy 13 months ago my skin has never been the same. It is prone to more blemishes sore spots and clogged pores have become a lot more common. I don't know if its to do with a shift in hormones, but being a person who was used to having clear skin it can really get me down.
