About La Roche-Posay Toleriane:
The Toleriane range is the first-ever skincare collection to be awarded the seal of approval by Allergy UK, which makes it the ultimate range for hypersensitive skin that’s prone to allergies. Each product is designed to hydrate, soothe and protect your skin using minimal ingredients that are fragrance and alcohol-free. That’s on top of offering dermatologist-tested formulas to reduce irritation, redness, and skin sensitivity.

The Toleriane Dermallergo Cream is a soothing choice. A sensitive skin essential from the Toleriane range, the Dermallergo Cream is a daily moisturiser that hydrates while ensuring sensitive skin doesn’t become irritated, red, or uncomfortable. The microbiome-friendly formula is stored within a special hermetic (airtight) bag inside the bottle to keep the formula potent and protect it from external aggressors that may upset skin.

Why is it good for sensitive skin?
The Avene Tolerance Skin Recovery Cream is a firm favourite with our French Pharmacy customers. The thing that sets the Skin Recovery Cream apart is that it boasts an impressive calming effect, which works in under 30 seconds thanks to the inclusion of innovative Avene’s patented D-Sensinose ingredient.
Its ultra-hydrating formula is packed into a new and improved hermetic bottle that stops air and bacteria from contaminating the cream; the bottle is sealed using an airtight cap to keep the formula sterile to keep skin soothed and comfortable at all times.

Your eyes are one of the most sensitive and delicate areas of your face, so it’s important to choose an eye cream specifically designed for sensitive eyes so that you can be sure that your allergy-prone skin is in safe hands.
