Review Summary

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser is a dream for sensitive and dry skin types. The creamy, milk-like texture gently removes makeup, dirt, and impurities without any foam or harsh surfactants. The formula contains ceramides to restore the skin barrier, niacinamide to soothe redness, and glycerin for hydration. The cleanser maintains the skin's natural pH and doesn't disrupt the microbiome. It can be used with or without water—massage onto dry skin to break down makeup, then rinse or tissue off. The cleanser leaves skin feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable with no tightness or dryness. It's particularly excellent for those with eczema, rosacea, or reactive skin. The prebiotic thermal water from La Roche-Posay provides additional soothing benefits. However, those with very oily skin may find the milky texture too rich and prefer a foaming cleanser. The pump dispenser sometimes dispenses more product than needed. While effective at removing makeup, extremely heavy or waterproof makeup may require a dedicated first cleanse with an oil or balm. For sensitive skin seeking gentle yet effective cleansing, this is an excellent choice.
