WHICH DO YOU HAVE?

duration time 7 min read

Sensitive, reactive and allergic prone skin types each display their own set of unique characteristics. The one thing they have in common is rashes and reactions in response to unsuitable products loaded with allergens and irritants. The hero range for all of these skin types is Toleriane Ultra from the dermatologist’s partner brand and sensitive skin expert La Roche-Posay. Free from fragrances, preservatives, lanolin and alcohol, Toleriane Ultra offers instant hydration for soothing and relief.
