Here's what our community thinks
Klorane Cornflower Water Cream 16 ingredients
very good for oily skin in the summer, had to use it as a night cream because it was too sticky for day time use
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Dermallergo Serum 15 ingredients
Expensive, and it did nothing for me - I didn't notice any soothing or red reduction from my seb derm after using it for more than 1 year. My combination skin still felt tight in the winter, and oily in the summer. Sadly, this is an anecdotal serum.
This serum deeply hydrates my skin. It’s quite thick and sticky so I would recommend applying it only during the night routine. It’s perfect when my skin needs to be moisturized. My acne-prone skin did not have any problem with it.
