La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Serum - preview

Fancy a new serum for all skin types from a trusted French skincare company at a very decent price?

It's that time of the year again - not my favourite - when the yo-yo-ing cold weather and central heating can leave your skin stripped of its natural moisture.  For me, my skin gets tight, sore and uncomfortable at this time of the year and I'm always on the look-out for additional steps to incorporate into my usual routine, using slightly "stronger" serums, switching to creams instead of lotions, whatever it takes to plump up and nourish my skin for the next six months until the glorious return of the warm weather :-)

La Roche-Posay are a long-trusted brand and the Hydraphase Intense range is especially formulated for dehydrated, sensitive and fragile skin, however the new Hydraphase Intense Serum can actually be used as a first step serum for all skin types, even oily skin - because what a lot of people don't realise is that you can have oily and dehydrated skin, not just dry and dehydrated.  In this instance, your skin type is naturally oily, but it's current condition is dehydrated.  If this is the case, you'll find that dry skin products won't work for you, but oily+dehydrated products will!

This new Hydraphase Intense Serum has the highest concentration of La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water of all La Roche-Posay products.  It has a gel texture, designed to cool and soothe the skin prior to moisturising.  As with all serums, this is intended to be used morning and evening before moisturiser.  At only €23.00 for 30ml (quite a decent price for a serum) and available in pharmacies everywhere, look here for more information.
