This French Moisturizer Is Great For Sensitive Skin
As much as I love luxury skin care goodies, there's nothing quite like finding affordable beauty products that are as effective as they are budget-friendly. And while usually this means scouring the internet and doing a lot of trial-and-error, there's one cult-fave moisturizer that is hiding in plain sight at most major retailers — La Roche-Posay Toleraine Dobule Repair face cream.
Boasting 4.6 out of 5 stars and a whopping 42,071 5-star reviews at Amazon, this French pharmacy staple is one of the internet's true hidden gems. It retails for just under $24, so there's really no reason to not try it at least once. As one reviewer put it: 'Do not buy this... unless you want your skin to be AMAZING!'
This simple moisturizer is great for all skin types thanks to a nourishing oil-free formula powered with effective active ingredients that won't make your skin feel greasy or cause breakouts. It's also an excellent option for those with dry, irritated skin. It harnesses the power of ceramides, niacinamide, prebiotic thermal water and glycerin to drench your skin in long-lasting hydration and antioxidants without clogging pores. According to the brand, it helps to restore the skin's natural moisture barrier within just an hour of use and was formulated with sensitive, reactive skin in mind.
HuffPost Shopping writer (and beauty devotee) Tessa Flores is a fan and recommends this cream. 'It's definitely hydrating, which is honestly just my main goal when it comes to moisturizers, and non-irritating. It's also more lightweight feeling and soaks in well compared to other La Roche-Posay moisturizers I've tried, which feel kind of balmy. This doesn't feel like that, so anyone who's really opposed to that feeling will probably prefer this,' she said.
The cult-favorite La Roche-Posay moisturizer is the ideal everyday cream for people of all ages, and is even available with SPF for anyone who wants extra protection from the sun's UV rays. It's light enough to layer on over other skin care products and acts as a nice base for makeup. Many reviewers made mention of the fact that it leaves skin feeling soft, silky and smooth — even moreso than other more expensive options. It splits the difference beautifully between a mattifying and overly dewy finish, which is why it works so well with so many different skin types.

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes, with or without SPF, and in a two-pack).
