First La Roche Posay Products I Tried

These are the first batch of La Roche Posay products that I tried. Just like the other brands La Roche Posay is also a hit and miss for me. Some are good, some are better to skip. The Pigmentclar Serum and Pigmentclar Eye Cream didn't really work wonders on me. But I am quite happy with the Hydraphase Intense Riche. So out of the 3 products this is what I will consider repurchasing in the future once they go on sale again. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by.

First French Brands Of Skin Care Products I Tried

In the UAE Market I don't think commercials and the likes are not much necessary or they don't need very popular figures as a lot of consumers like me doesn't depend on them to decide which products to buy/try. I don't even watch TV or listen to the radio to see/hear advertisements. So how do I wind up with different products/brands like this? By spending time in the malls looking around. By reading blogs and forums. From the word of the mouth. After finding and loving Bioderma Micelle Solution then I started searching for other French Skin Care Products. Avene and La Roche Posay are quite popular. Last year was the start of my quest for skin care products and make up. To be honest, French brands are expensive for me. But I shelled out a fortune anyway. I wouldn't know if I didn't try right? Out of the four products in the photo my vote goes to Eau Thermale Avene Gentle Toner then La Roche Posay Hydraphase Intense Riche. But the only way I will purchase them again is if they will be on sale. It's 2015 and a lot of drugstore brands are available at much more affordable prices. 

La Roche Posay Lipikar Hand Cream

La Roche Posay Lipikar Hand Cream
Price: 60.00 AED at Aster Pharmacy
Made in France

The first ever La Roche Posay product that I bought. It was on promo so I said why not try it? And after that I'm hooked to La Roche Posay brand. This doesn't come with a box unlike Cicaplast Hand Cream but it doesn't really matter. Next photo show the ingredients for those people who wants to know:

What I like about this hand cream is the scent that reminds me of baby powder that we use on babies and children back home. As I have said I used so many brand of hand creams before but none of them do have this nice fragrance. And of course aside from the fragrance, what makes this stands out is it has a rich cream and absorbs by the skin quickly. Hands are moisturized well. The above photo also shows how dry my hand can be.

When spread around the hands: 

I am just not so sure if all the pharmacies in UAE carries this or available all the time. As the last time I went to the nearby pharmacy I didn't see this anymore so I had to get another hand cream but still the same brand. Will definitely repurchase as I am happy with it.
