However, until 2006 you couldn't buy La Roche-Posay products in stores, they could only be sourced from your dermatologist. It didn't take long for the brand to go global and today it's sold in over 50 countries worldwide and used by millions. Key to the skincare formulas we see today is La Roche-Posay spring water.

Who Should Consider Using La Roche-Posay? Everyone! But if you're suffering from acne or blemish prone skin you'll really love this brand. Also, anyone with sensitive skin who finds other makeup removers, moisturisers and bath products just too harsh. The whole family will love their ground-breaking sunscreen. And if you're seeking anti-ageing products then you'll adore their effective formulas that include Vitamin C and Retinol.
Acne Treatment: Effaclar La Roche-Posay's Effaclar range is loved by acne-sufferers the world over. Recommended by dermatologists, YouTubers including Tanya Burr and Ruth Crilly have also been singing its praises for years (have a quick watch of the video below). Containing a mix of glyolic acid, salicylic acid, micronized benzoyl peroxide (an acne medication) and lipo-hydroxy acid, it boasts up to 60% improvement in just 10 days. If you suffer from blemished skin then you'll also like Serozinc toner, a best-seller in the range.
Sensitive Skincare Although all of La Roche-Posay products are great for sensitive skin, if you're just looking for a range of daily use products then take a look at Toleriane. For daily moisturiser the Hydréane range is for you and also includes a BB cream. Pigementclar range if pigmentation's an issue for you. And La Roche-Posay sunscreen and daily skincare products ensure skin's not irritated and is moisturised at all times.
A Little History La Roche-Posay is a thermal spa town in France, long renowned for the healing powers of its Selenium-rich waters. In fact it was a favourite place of Napoleon, who set up a hospital there to treat his soldiers' various skin diseases! Fast forward to the early 1900s when a treatment centre was set up. This still operates today alongside a team of dermatologists. The healing waters of La Roche-Posay have also been officially recognised by the French Academy of Medicine.
Product Development It wasn't until the 1970s that a French pharmacist decided to create the brand we know today. Three core values were established: safety, efficacy and simplicity. At that time the brand was developed for use only by dermatologists. Of course over the years clinical knowledge has improved and so has the range.
