La Roche-Posay Nutritic Intense Riche

I was recently sent La Roche-Posay Nutritic Intense Riche moisturiser to try out, thanks to Steph at La Roche-Posay.
Nutritic Intense Riche is an in-depth nutri-reconstituting cream, which provides comfort, suppleness and soothing. It relieves painful sensations of very dry skin.

Designed for very dry and sensitive skin

Paraben free

Contains innovation MP-Lipids: a new generation of lipids with proven efficacy on the synthesis of moisturising factors, lipids and proteins essential to skin's comfort and protection.

Nutritic Intense Riche comes in a glass jar, which though quite heavy, does make this look all the more high-end and I do like this.

The scent is lovely and fresh. I would liken it to Savlon.

I’ve been using this on my face, as well as on dry skin when my skin is troublesome. Recently, I’ve had big problems with my right hand being dry (yes, just the right hand, weird, I know!). This usually happens in winter but this year it seems to be continuing… So, one night, I decided to try Nutritic Intense Riche on my hand. Just a small dab soothed and helped my dry skin almost immediately, which is great! The only problem that I have is due to the weight and glass jar, I am unable to carry this around on a daily basis, to soothe my dry skin when it is sore.

I use Nutritic Intense Riche as a full facial moisturiser a couple of times a week, at night, which is often enough, as the hydration is long-lasting. The moisturiser is quite thick and whilst it is not oily, every day use is not required. The contents of the jar will go a long way, which is good. I then use it whenever needed, as mentioned above, if I am suffering from patches of dry skin.

If you suffer from dry, sensitive skin, this is definitely for you.

RRP £16.50 (50ml jar), available from Boots and online retailers. 3 for 2 offer included at Boots.

OFFER: Throughout the whole month of March, Escentual have a fantastic offer on French pharmaceuticals, with 1/3 off, that’s a massive 33% discount! La Roche-Posay and my other favourite, Vichy, are both included in this! GO, QUICK! You can pick up Nutritic Intense Riche for just £11.

There are more products in the Nutritic Intense range, which you can find on the La Roche-Posay website.

I’ve tried quite a few La Roche-Posay products now and I must say, I have been impressed with them all.

Have you tried La Roche-Posay?

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Review

I'm sure this must be the millionth blog review of La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo.

Yes, the must-have skincare product, that is fast flying off the shelves.

Last year, I was contacted by the lovely Steph, who introduced me to the brand, as well as the product. Steph had previously sent me Vichy Normaderm 3-in-1 Cleanser to try out.  You can read my review on that here.

I will admit, I had never heard of La Roche-Posay or Vichy until Steph contacted me.  So I was excited to try these out, especially after reading about them, they seemed ideal for my problem skin and I looked forward to trying brands that I would not have thought to try before.

I have a few other La Roche-Posay products and some Vichy purifying toner, which I will also be reviewing very soon.

On to Effaclar Duo.

Fantastic!

This product really does work miracles for my skin.  My skin is rather oily but can also be slightly dry at times.  I have always had issues with the odd spot here and there, which I hoped would have gone by the age of 25 but it would appear not.

I find that when I use Effaclar Duo, it really helps. My spots calm down and clear up and my skin feels great. My pores are minimised and my skin is left feeling great. I focus on my T-Zone when applying Effaclar Duo. For some reason, the creases of my nose sting a little when I get the product in them, so I try to avoid putting it in the creases now. This isn't a problem with the product, just my silly nose!

Along with the many others, I would highly recommend Effaclar Duo.

The price is a little high, at £13 from Boots but this is a 40ml tube that does last a long time. I still have a lot left and I have had this since September last year! You may be able to find it slightly cheaper, have a look around online, or for offers in stores.

Have you tried La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo?

On the subject of skincare, I have JUST finished my Vichy Normaderm 3-in-1 Cleanser...

I received this in July 2012!!!

You can read my review on Vichy's Normaderm 3-in-1 here.

I will be posting more La Roche-Posay reviews, along with the other Vichy product review very soon, so keep a look out for those.

Next time you are in Boots, check out Vichy and La Roche-Posay, they really are great brands.
