Q&A

Q: Do La Roche-Posay face washes include sulfates?

A: Only a few of our face cleansers include sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), which is a gentler alternative to sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Sodium laureth sulfate helps produce a nice foam and lather in use and is effective in removing oil, dirt, and debris from skin. If you are looking for a sulfate-free face cleanser, we suggest using Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser or Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Wash.

Q: What is La Roche-Posay’s best face wash for sensitive skin?

A: All of our cleansers are suitable for sensitive skin. Our best-selling face washes are Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser and Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Wash. These sulfate-free cleansers are ideal for daily facial cleansing. If you are looking for a medicated cleanser to address acne, we recommend Effaclar Medicated Acne Face Wash. Lipikar Wash AP+ Moisturizing Body & Face Wash is great for the entire family and can be used on the body and face.

Q: What is La Roche-Posay’s best face wash for dry skin?

A: For those with dry skin, we recommend Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser. and Toleriane Dermo Milky Cleanser. These non-foaming, gentle face cleansers efficiently cleanse the skin, remove impurities and debris, and provide hydrating benefits. Skin is left feeling clean without leftover residue. For those with dry to extra dry skin, we recommend Lipikar Wash AP+ Moisturizing Body & Face Wash, a comforting body and face wash that provides 24-hour hydration starting in the shower and leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and instantly soothed. It’s accepted by the National Eczema Association and suitable for babies as young as two weeks.

Q
Can i use this on my bikini line to fade dark marks?
Asked by A
Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BE
Hello there! While the Glycolic B5 Dark Spot Corrector is designed to fade dark spots on the face, we do not recommend using it on the bikini line. This area is particularly sensitive, and the product's active ingredients may cause irritation or unwanted reactions. For concerns about dark marks in that area, consulting a dermatologist is the best course of action. They can recommend appropriate and safe treatments tailored to this delicate skin zone.Was this answer helpful to you

Why has the serum turned brown

Started working well lightening dark spots, however, it has turned brown and smells. Expiration date is 08/2025. I purchased 2 bottles and both have turned brown. Is it safe to use?

Product is described to be a dark spot corrector, but the actual bottle does not say that. This product caused my dark spots to get darker and bumpy. This happened after two uses as prescribed in the instructions. I threw the product away and I never do that. It was horrible and I caution you not to purchase or use this product.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I have been suffering with hormonal acne since 14 and have lots of dark spots and scars. I've been using this for about a year now and it makes a big difference. It doesn't clog my pores and it brightens my skin, it's definitely worth the money

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I've been using this product and it does clear dark spots. However, like with any other product of this tupe, you have to be consistent.

So being a skin care girly for some time I learned that glycolic acid helps with uneven skin tone. However, its a very powerful acid so it doesnt play well with alot of serums/acids. For people using this product heres some tips so that your skin doesnt burn, get irritated, or mess with your skin barrier.... use it only at night, do not mix it with any other acids such as lactic acid, AHA/BHAs, or niacinamides. It works well with ceremide serum, ampoule, and snail mucin. So its very important you read the ingredients of other products you layer with this. If you use this once a week or so you will see the benefits.

I used this product several years ago when my skin discolored after having kids. It worked really well and once I was happy with my clear skin, I use exfoliating scrubs and always sunscreen now. My face never got the brown spots back. Use sparingly, but often. Wash hand before applying moisturizer too. Dont get on eyelids.
