    After trying that awful La Roche Posay Double Repair I may have slightly less breakouts but my face stings and peels like crazy. I don’t think I’ll ever purchase a product from the La Roche Posay ever again because its so expensive and definitely NOT for sensitive skin.

  2. I feel like it’s SO important to check all the ingredients with an app such as skin sort. I love your videos but the majority of the moisturizers you showed have multiple comedogenic ingredients in each moisturizer. Yikes.

  3. I loved how the CeraVe PM moisturizer made my face feel hydrated and plump, but unfortunately it caused me to break out. I just switched to the Matte version of La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair moisturizer. Not loving thow it makes my face feel dry/tight, but hopefully my skin clears back up.

  4. Which moisturizer is your holy grail for calming breakouts? 👀
