Our skin is the body’s largest organ. So when it’s irritated, it can be hard to ignore. Sensitive skin is a prevalent condition that affects an estimated 50% of the human population, with global reported prevalence rates varying from 12.79% to 68.4%. That’s a LOT of individuals dealing with irritable skin, which is never fun for anyone!
However, thanks to La Roche-Posay, a brand that focuses on innovating safe and effective products for all types of skin, including sensitive skin, allergic skin, sun irritation, acne-prone skin, and irritated skin, all of your sensitive skin issues may be put to rest.
La Roche-Posay’s Formulation
With the mission of bringing a better quality of life to sensitive skin, La Roche-Posay’s wide range of products include Effaclar for acne-prone and oily skin; Pigmentclar for dark sport correction; Cicaplast that repairs and protects the skin barrier function; and Anthelios which provides broad spectrum sun protection.
La Roche-Posay’s distinctive selenium-rich Thermal Spring Water, a vital component in its skincare products noted for its calming and antioxidant effects, is at the heart of the company. It is drawn from the company’s Thermal Dermatology in France, which is currently the No. 1 in Europe.
