La Roche-Posay Haul
18:15:00I've been wanting to try La-Roche Posay for SOOO long, and oh my word, please be assured that they do not disappoint. I'd felt like I'd hit a brick wall with my skin, and after I received two tiny Effaclar Duo samples in a Feel Unique order a while back, which I tried and took a liking to, I just had to try some products and give them a proper go.
My skin is the definition of oily, so when I was browsing Feel Unique, and all of the bestsellers included the words "for oily skin", I was so excited and wanted to buy everything. But I restrained myself, sadly.
The first thing I chose was the Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel, the description states that it's for oily skin, that it doesn't dry the skin out, and helps blemish prone skin. Which are all things that gave me love heart eyes just thinking about them! I can safely say that it does live up to the description, and I'll definitely be repurchasing when I run out!
Next was the Effaclar Duo, I knew I would like this as I'd used the testers, but I couldn't use a lot of it when I had the tiny tubes. So having the full size has meant I can experiment on how much is just enough. A little goes a long way with this, and I've noticed a massive difference in blemishes and red marks. It most certainly does what it says on the tin!!
The last thing I chose was the Serozinc Spray. I had wanted to give this a go for the longest time! I was so intrigued by it, and I just needed it. This claims to help oiliness and blemishes, as well as helping the skin to look mattified and less greasy. (That's the really exciting bit!!) THIS WORKS LIKE A DREAM FOR ME. It's so refreshing. I thought the spray would be a lot lighter, like a mist, but it's meant to work like a toner, so I guess that's why it feels so heavy when you first spray it. Once its dry it's as if theres nothing there, and my face doesn't get oily half as quickly as it used to!
I like to use the face wash, followed by the duo moisturiser, and then the Serozinc. I think you're meant to use the spray before the moisturiser, but this order just works better for me!
As I'm sure most of you that use Feel Unique will know, when you spend a certain amount, you get to choose a free sample. So as I was buying all thing La Roche, I decided to go for the Anthelios XL. I haven't actually tried this yet, but the fact that it's Factor 50+ grabbed my attention straight away, so in the basket it went!!
All I need now is an amazing primer for oily skin! I've used Porefessional by Benefit, but I really want to try something new. So if you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments! I'd love to know!
