When it comes to my skin, I have to be a little cautious as I have eczema prone skin so it can be at times very sensitive and dry; my skin loves french skincare and I would definitely recommend french skincare brands such as Bioderma, Vichy and of course La Roche Posay.
I've been kindly sent a couple of products from their Rosaliac range which is designed for those with sensitive skin prone to redness, which definitely describes my skin. One of the main things that I love about french skincare as that it is all so gentle and they have such specific ranges for minority or overlooked skin types.
*La Roche Posay Rosaliac CC Creme (£19.50, 50ml): I am over the whole BB, CC and now DD creams as they seem so redundant and they don't appear to be very different. However, I was intrigued by this CC cream as it a brand famous for their sensitive skincare products and it is designed to correct all types of redness. The CC cream contains SPF 30 which is fantastic for me as I always forget to apply any SPF either in England or abroad - it's awful I know!
It only comes in one universal shade which is my only negative point about this product. The CC cream has a pump dispenser *it couldn't get any better really* so it is quick and easy to apply. It does have light coverage but it is much better than I thought it would be; on my skin it covers redness, very minor blemishes and pores really well! If I want a no makeup day but I still have friends or family round and I want my skin to look better but I don't want to apply a tonne of makeup and I want my skin to breathe and look natural then this is the product I'll reach for. It doesn't highlight dryness, pores or very fine lines and it also doesn't make my skin look oily. I cannot recommend this CC cream enough which is something I never thought I would type! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
*La Roche Posay Rosaliac Micellar Makeup Removal Gel (£12.50, 195ml): I have tried so many micellar waters over the past five or so years from higher end and cheaper brands but I have never come across a micellar gel until now. It is such an unusual product but it actually works well on removing my base products such as foundation, concealer and powder as well as blush/contour etc however it isn't as instantly effective when it comes in mascara and brow products. On the whole it is effective and it acts as a cleanser and micellar makeup remover in one as I do remove the excess with a damp flannel (even though you are advised to not rinse it off). I would recommend it if you have sensitive skin, it doesn't irritate my eczema. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Have you tried any products from la Roche Posay?
This range sounds fab, I'm currently using their original set which is great for problem skin.

I've been wanting to try La Roche Posay for a few months now but always end up putting it back on the shelf at the last minute in favour of more well-known brands. I will definitely give the micellar gel a try next time!

I love La Roche Posay but I haven't tried out these particular products so I will definitely have to give them a go.

I find micellar waters don't remove all of my makeup, still use an eye based products, and I always second cleanse, therefore for me, the gel wouldn't be a problem. :)
