La Roche Posay - marketed for sensitive skin but it is really

Hi Beauties, This opinion might not be really popular but I got very annoyed recently because people keep saying how La Roche Posay are amazing products suitable for everyone especially sensitive skin- how clean and gentle they are ect. ("Clean" and "Natural" are claims I won't even start talking about...) I definitely do not agree. We all have some favorite brands and everyone has opinion but people tend to advise without checking their info. This really upsets me because I have seen so many people going after the popular opinions. I have been beauty therapist for the past 10 years so for me skincare is not just hobby but passion and job that I dedicated a lot of time. But skincare changes constantly and if you are newbie say with acne or Rosacea or any irritated skin and see admiration for products- you might even start saving to buy them. People say they are great so surely they are!? But not really For me this is small step but I hope you understand where I come from and why I would like to share what I have found. First- I don't hate LRP- I used their products and I think their Toleriane range is great and indeed suitable for sensitive skin. Anthelios are one of the best "Western" SPF products but that's about it for me. C-10: * uses Ascorbic acid - famously unstable and needing low pH environment. * There is also Salicylic acid that is in really low percentage * 5th ingredient is Alcohol denat - drying alcohol * the product has added perfume * 3 months life since opening * Dropper making absolute mess- you van see the image -when I used the serum last time I purposely didn't wiped it amd this is the look of it 4 day later. It also really bothered me the INCI list from their website. As comparison there is also image of the INCI list of the same serum from Boots-famous here in UK pharmacy retailer. So no, this is not for all skin types including sensitive if you ask me I know everyone skin is different and in some people this product might actually be fine. Unfortunately I personally saw many cases where people received free product that costs 40£ and feel that they need to leave great review but this might harm someone desperate to improve their skin. I apologize for the long post

no,no. sorry the post is rather long. I did say that Toleriane and Anthelios I like. And this particular cleanser I did enjoyed. From Toleriane the fluid is great and now they have a cream which is new product but I haven't tested yet :-)
