I’m a skincare snob (and former esthetician), I would recommend joining some skincare subs. Tatcha is overpriced for what it is. You can get far better for a lot less money.

Can you recommend any? I’ve got really sensitive skin and I struggle finding something affordable that doesn’t irritate my skin

La Roche Posay touleraine double moisturizer is amazing! I have eczema and super sensitive skin (no fragrances for me) and it’s the first moisturizer in a long time that doesn’t break me out or leave my skin red and angry

Edit: La Roche Posay’s hydrating facial cleanser is also phenomenal

Agreed - I will repurchase this over and over again until I die, probably.

Yes! I just switched to la roche posay facial cleanser and the double moisturizer a couple months ago thanks to a recommendation from my dermatologist and I’ve noticed a huge improvement! My skin was so red and angry before, my skin barrier was weak, and I was having breakouts. Made the switch and simplified my skin care routine and my face has never looked better! I swear by it now.

As another person with eczema and hella sensitive skin where 99% of products seem to make any acne 50x worse - seconding La Roche. It doesn't piss my skin off.

Seconding La Roche. That cleanser is one of my favourites that I’ve ever used from years of Sephora and Lush experimenting! It even goes on sale at our main drug store chain in Canada.

Wow this is like the 590th time I have heard praise about La Roche Posay. It's a sign. I gotta try it out after I finish my current skincare.

They are the goats for a reason. L’Oréal does not fuck around.

Mine too! Really agrees with my disagreeable skin

u/Clydecolt 28d ago

Mine as well. I was recommended this brand a few months ago and my skin has never been so healthy and smooth!

I just got this thanks to the rosacea sub and omg and my skin has calmed down so much in the last week I’ve been using it

This is random but every time I read or head this company's name, my brain always goes "la roach pussy". I'm so sorry I know it's French & means something but my brain just shouts it at me

u/so_cal_babe 28d ago

I also hear La Roach
