The 7 Best La Roche-Posay Skin-Care Products for Men

Don’t believe everything you hear in ads, but La Roche-Posay a small village on the Creuse River at the border of the French departments of Vienne and Indre-et-Loire, has been known for its spring water since the early 20th century (maybe even hundreds of years before that, if it’s a folk story you’re being told). People came from far and wide to bathe in the town’s mineral spring baths, which were said to have healing properties people. Dermatologists also used the water, which was high in selenium, in skin-care products L’Oréal, a small company you may have heard of, now owns the Société des Thermes de La Roche-Posay (the baths) and La Roche-Posay (the skin-care brand).

No matter what you think about multinational corporate ownership, it has given us something amazing. We really like La Roche-Posay now. You can buy it all over the world, but it still uses French selenium-rich water as its main ingredient. It’s cheap, good for skin that is sensitive, and easy to find. The brand makes good skin-care products that don’t require a 12-step routine. They just make simple products like cleansers and moisturizers that work for both dry and oily skin. People are also crazy about the lightweight sunscreens and hydrating serums. We put together a list of our favorite products from the French skin-care brand to help you get started with one of the best brands out there.

Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser is the best face wash for dry skin.

Will Garden, a writer for Esquire, says that La Roche-Posay’s gentle face cleanser is his all-time favorite face wash. It has a gentle fragrance-free formula that works well on sensitive or dry skin. It also has ceramides and glycerin in it to help keep your skin hydrated and protect it, so it feels clean and fresh without losing its natural oils balance.

Toleriane Foaming Facial Cleanser for Purifying

The best face wash for oily skin

The Toleriane Purifying Foaming face wash is for you if your skin is more oily than dry. I use this cleanser every morning, and I like that it cleans deeply and gets rid of extra oil without changing the skin’s natural moisture barrier or pH. I always feel fresh and ready for the day after it.

Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer is the best moisturizer for the face.

This moisturizer from the Toleriane line is our favorite everyday moisturizer because it is safe for all skin types, even acne-prone skin. It also has ceramides that hydrate, niacinamide that strengthens, and thermal water that is full of antioxidants. The matte version with SPF 30 is a good choice if you want a moisturizer that will protect you from the sun.

Best Facial Serum: Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Facial serums can be hard to understand (what is a serum, anyway?) and cost a lot of money, but La Roche-Posay’s oil-free hyaluronic-acid serum is easy to understand. There are two types of hyaluronic acid in it, and vitamin B5, which helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone over time. It has the same thermal spring water that the rest of the brand’s products do, which helps calm the skin instead of making it worse.

Redermic R Anti-Aging Retinol Eye Cream is the best eye cream.

This retinol eye cream has anti-aging ingredients like pure retinol, caffeine, glycerin, and thermal spring water that will help with crow’s feet wrinkles, wrinkles, and dark circles around your eyes. Retinol is one of the most popular skin-care ingredients for fighting aging effectively. When mixed with these other ingredients in a gentle gel formula, it really works.

SPF 50 Anthelios Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen

The Best Sunscreen for Your Face

It’s important to use a good sunscreen on your face, especially as the sun starts to shine more often. This mineral sunscreen is a great choice because it absorbs quickly and isn’t greasy. It doesn’t make your face dry or clog your pores, and it’s light and moisturizing. It’s also water-resistant for 40 minutes, which makes it a great thing to have at the beach.

Face Serum with Retinol and Vitamin B3

The Best Retinol Product

This strong anti-aging serum from La Roche-Posay combines pure retinol with vitamin B3. It firms your skin without causing irritation. If you use this regularly, your skin will look fresher and plumper, and there will be fewer fine lines.
