LaRoche Posay cleansers- your recommendations

I usually buy Clinique or REN but I don't feel it's worth the cost.

All I need is something to take my make up off.

LRP has so many to choose from. I think there are around 3 possibles but I've not got my head round their ranges.

I don't like anything I have to wash off ( eg foaming stuff)

I like a lightweight milk that hasn't much if any fragrance.

Mu skin is normal but bordering on dry not oily, and can be sensitive .

Your ideas!

The toleraine one possibly? I have dry sensitive skin and had no problems with the cleanser, it’s boring but that’s usually a good thing for me 😂

I use this one, but I'm not sure what the difference is between this and the 'Sensitive' one. My skin is the same, reactive and bordering on dry.

I only use toleraine pump dispenser (had to buy from France as couldn't find in uk in large size) plus the moisturiser.

I was thinking about the toleraine one but there is also another one called ;make up remover cleanser' that is also for dry and sensitive skin.

I wondered how good the toleraine was at removing make up.

I find with some gentle cleansers I have to double or triple cleanse to get rid of all my make up (and it's not a long wear foundation.)

Fine for light make up, anything more I use Cetaphil (the gentle one). It's a wash off one, but very very light, no residue but also doesn't strip your skin at all. I use a muslin cloth with that.

I love LRP and use the foaming Effaclar one. For dry and sensitive skin and serious make up shifting power, I recommend oils. The Body Shop chamomile one, M&S Pure, or the Nuxe ones are all great. I don't think LRP do a cleansing oil sadly.

I live in a very hard water area and find that using water as part of cleansing is really harsh on my skin. I do use a muslin cloth now just slightly damp.

Oil cleansing- it needs water to wash it off so kind of defeats the object maybe?

I have used clinique take the day off balm which is good but again, you need water or a muslin cloth to remove it all.

Just a damp muslin to wipe off oil cleanser.

I just massage oil cleanser in, make up just melts, and then I rinse a muslin in hot water, wring it out so it's damp rather than sopping wet, then wipe off the cleanser.

I then moisturise straight away while my skin is still damp.

It works for me and my sensitive skin and I'm also in a very hard water area.
