This product greatly reduces oil and pores in my troublesome T-zone. It is almost miraculously good at clearing out blockages in that area. If that was all it was meant to do, I would give it four stars. Unfortunately, when my monthly hormonal breakout arrived, it did absolutely nothing. This makes no sense, because usually a product with salicylic acid in it is sufficient. The concentration of salicylic acid might be insufficient for me, but enough for someone else's skin. I don't know. The other concern I have is with one of the ingredients. I've used dimethicone in a chemistry laboratory, and in laboratory concentrations it is considered harmful. In very low concentrations, there is already evidence that it causes temporary hair loss when it is used in shampoo. This indicates that the dimethicone penetrates more deeply into the skin than intended, and has disruptive and lengthy effects. It is likely those effects reach beyond disrupting the hair follicle. I would advise La Roche-Posay to remove it from their products. If La Roche-Posay were to stop using dimethicone and increase the salicylic acid concentration of their product, I would be able to give them five stars. If they stop using dimethicone, I will buy this product.

A wonderful complement to its shampoo partner. After the shampoo has given you a product buildup reset, this little beauty will gently add back any stripped-off moisture, just as a conditioner is meant to. It doesn't grease up your hair, it isn't heavy, it just gently returns moisture to your hair, then rinses away easily. Shiny, soft, bouncy hair is the result, at least in my experience- and I'm a person who has been battling oily hair since puberty. This product is wonderful- when I run out of the trial bottle, I'm going to buy more.

See title. Exactly that. The long version: I've been using two kinds of shampoo and conditioner for years, in an attempt to avoid build-up. That's what you're meant to do for that, right? So I thought I'd managed to do that. My hair was a bit flat and dull, but I put that down to darkening with age etcetera. Then, I used this shampoo, with the conditioner. Wow. It shines, it's buoyantly fluffy, and my hair is now the shade it was in high school. It turns out I had a massive amount of product build-up, possibly years' worth, and this wonder shampoo just lifted that away very easily. Just leather and rinse, no repeat!

This eye serum will give you wrinkles. It causes an immune response based inflammation effect around the eyes, and that is all. If someone were to use this for a significant period of time, it would stretch out the skin around their eyes, and give them wrinkles. I used it for about a week, just to give it a fair trial, and the lines around my eyes are visibly worse. I would never recommend this serum to anyone. On top of that, the applicator is sharp at its end, and entirely unsuitable as an eye serum applicator. If not used carefully, it could easily scratch the eyelid or even the eye.

This eye gel reduces dark circles marvellously. I haven't slept reliably well in years, so I'm always looking out for a good eye cream, and this one is a keeper. As it says on the box, it's lightweight: it leaves no unpleasant residue, and is absorbed very well. It has an ideal balance between effectiveness and chemical reduction, being almost entirely free of harmful chemicals. When I put it on at night, I wake up the next morning looking as though I've had a good night's sleep, no matter how little rest I have actually managed.

A gentle formula you can just put anywhere on your face. I just slap it on like sunscreen. A family member bought me a bottle of this a couple of months ago, and I've been using it ever since. After the first night, I was amazed. My skin was so improved- so well hydrated that some changes I'd put down to irreversible natural ageing were just gone. Some nights I forget to apply it, but there doesn't seem to be any backslide the next day. It really does have a lot of staying power; not like some moisturisers, for which skipping an application leads to a Picture Of Dorian Gray-style reversal. It just sinks right into the skin, leaves no unpleasant residue, and seems to perfectly hydrate.
