Good cleanser that works nicely on my combination acne skin. Doesn't strip the skin and feels light.

The gentlest cleanser, if you have sensitive skin like me I definitely recommend this product! I noticed less breakouts while using this cleanser too. Works very well paired with other LRP products.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser - La Roche-Posay

Great cleanser to use after makeup. If you ever find yourself left without micellar water, this cleanser can double as that too. A bit exfoliating too, I think it works on sensitive skin too but be cautious and patch test first just in case.

Suuuuuuch a great toner. It has an active ingredient of salicylic acid that helps a lot with acne. And as the product is advertised, it really does reduce the appearance of pores. Leaves my skin looking clearer and brighter after use. Recommend!!

Azelaic acid is great for PIE. It gradually fades the dark red spots that acne leaves, so you can finally be free of those annoying marks and feel even better about your skin.

Lrp is THE best when it comes to products for sensitive skin. This moisturizer is incredibly moisturizing and lightweight. Feels so nice on the skin and the texture is very pleasant as well.

So soft and moisturizing! This is a day cream, but essentially works as a moisturizer. This one is especially nice under makeup. Refreshing and feels amazing during the summer.
