La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP

I recieved this sample of La Roche-Posay's Lipikar Baume body balm from the National Eczema Society and it is one of the most wonderful and relieving products I have ever used for my skin condition, as it cools you down and sooths the second you rub it into dry,irritated or red skin or just generally as a moisturiser, while building back up the skins layers. This product is seriously such a great product for the treatment of eczema and is better than some prescription creams that I have been givent and I want to thank the Eczema society for offering this product as a sample as I would not of found out about it otherwise. :)

The cream is very light and not one bit oily in the slightest , is not perfumed or has any fragrances and is the perfect product for all types of eczema and dry/itchy skin sufferers. La Roche-Posay works closely with dermatologists to develop products such as this body balm to give sufferes the best chance of doing day to day things without worrying about irritation, redness and breaking the body out of its scratching cycle like I have and my skin feels amazing and I have gone ahead to buy full sizes of this sample product, and the prices are very reasonable aswell and I cannot wait to try other products within the brand.

It is also a good practical product for your handbag as you can use it anytime you feel an itchy irritation coming on and you feel cooled automatically. It is great for me in my job aswell as I am coming in and out of hot and cold enviroments and especially in winter we will have central heating on which in different environments, and for an eczema sufferer this type of irritation can be very annoying.

 This body balm also includes La Roche-Posay's unique thermal spring water, which is incorporated into all of the brands products, calms all inflamations of the skin with a wonderful cooling sensation and feels extremely therapeutic, and it also has a hidden plus which is amazing and is that it helps anti-aging so yay :)

I would HIGHLY recommend this product not just for eczema and sensitive skin sufferes but for anyone wanting an amazing body balm/moisturiser for the winter seasons. I would again like to thank the Nation Eczema Society not just on my behalf but those who have also discovered this amazing brand and product through your sample.

Ren: Clean Bio-Active Skincare Products

I recieved these samples in an induction pack from Ren after being reccomended them from a friend who also has sensitive skin. These four products that I was sent are wonderful and all leave you feeling refreshed with a radient glow and they do not contain any harsh cemicals that can damage the most sensitive of skin .  They all sooth and moisturise the face and eyes and tighthen up pores and I highly recomend the REN skincare range.

In their full sizes they come in  hygenic pumb bottles and are each priced around £18 up to £32 and available from the REN website, Asos.com, SHOP.com

 

This first product the Active 7 Radient Eye Gel is fantastic and I love it, it cools and sooths and reduces the puffiness under your eyes in the mornings, and works amazingly well under make up, concealers and foundations. It is a light thin water gel, which isnt oily which is great for me using it with my perscribed medicated creams, and dosent irritate in the slightest, and if needs be can be applied throughout the day giving you bursts of feeling cool.   

This gentle Hydro-Calm Cleansing Milk is made with coconut and gentle palm oils but it is a little bit thick so if you have oily skin this may not be too good or be too heavy for you on your skin but does work really good for dry and sensitive/eczema skin as a moisturiser. This product is also great when removing make-up calmly and you dont need to scrub with a cotton ball or pad with it and it also removes trapped dirt without hurting you or giving any discomfort or stinging.

This radience renewing mask is my favourite one of the four that I was sent. It has a really nice zesty fruity smell but texture of it is a bit strange being a bit thick with the little moisturising balls but you only do need to apply a small layer ,but once the mask was on my face it was it felt wonderful. This mask has also tightened up my pores and my skin feels so smooth and has a really nice glow to it and has reduced the redness in my cheeks alot . You do not need to use this product every day , just maybe once or twice a week

This night cream is absolutely fabulous, I loved it, it refreshes and rejuvenates your skin while you sleep and works on the finer lines on your face and neck. It contains vitamins A,C and E and boosts the collagen in your face, which makes your skin look fuller when you wake up, which made me feel really good about my sensitive skin. As with its name it has a relaxing Frankincense and shea butter smell which is soooo lovely and makes you feel all calm when you go to sleep, in the same way lavender works .
