Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

Says it pills instantly on their skin.

“LRP double repair is also a no go. It pills instantly on my skin.”

Their fragrance-free moisturizer after itchy rashes stopped with removing fragrance.

“I use La Roche Posay Double Repair moisturizer.”

Loves the Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer (and the Hydrating Gentle Cleanser).

“I love both of these products!”

A decent moisturizer, but it keeps pilling on them.

“The LRP double repair keeps pilling on me, otherwise a decent moisturizer.”

Loves the Toleriane Double Repair moisturizer with ceramide.

“I love the La Roche-Posay Facial Moisturizer, Toleriane Double Repair with Ceramide!”

Likes it as their moisturizer applied after tretinoin.

“Apply a moisturizer 30 minutes after tretinoin. I like LRP Toleriane Double Repair.”

Their sensitive skin loves it, though the bottle makes the last 15–20% impossible to get out.

“I finally tried La Roche Posay double repair moisturizer and my sensitive skin is LOVING it (yay!).”

Their daily moisturizer since 2021; they bought Vanicream several times but always came back to this.

“I tried the Vanicream moisturizer and didn't like it as much as LRP Toleriane double repair moisturizer”

Their first commercial face product in years made their skin worse.

“That was my exact experience. First time I tried a commercial product for my face in years and it made my skin worse!”

Seems to cause breakouts that look like rosacea and small welts, with pain and itching.

“That one specifically seems to be causing my breakouts that look like a combination of rosacea and small welts...with slight pain and itchiness.”

Worked on their oily skin on tretinoin nights where CeraVe PM felt too heavy.

“What worked for me on oily skin was La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair.”

Its pilling is driving them crazy in a dry climate.

“found this post because i’m dealing with the pilling issue and it’s driving me crazy!”

Tiny whiteheads everywhere after one use.

“Used it for the first time last night and I’ve got tiny whiteheads everywhere”

Small red pimples appeared twice, once on first use and again after buying it recently.

“I’m certain it’s this product, it happened in the past and when I stopped using it my skin cleared up.”

Likes the regular Toleriane Double Repair as their moisturizer.

“I like La roche toleraine regular version for moisturizer fwiw”

It eventually started to irritate their skin.

“Lrp double repair eventually started to irritate my skin. I would suggest going to a routine with no actives for a while.”

Likes the texture but it pills like crazy and makes their T-zone more oily on tretinoin.

“I use La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer. I like the texture of it and how it feels on my face but it pills like crazy and makes my t zone more oily.”

Cleared their closed comedones within a week, but pills too much for daytime.

“La roche posay literally cured all my closed comozones and white heads within a week. I love this one, but the PILLING, especially my eyebrows and stubble, is unacceptable for daytime wear.”

The non-SPF Toleriane Double Repair moisturizer hydrates without breakouts.

“the non-sunscreen version hydrates my skin and does not cause breakouts”

Hydrating without being greasy, but it pills with even light contact and wiping makes it worse.

“I like that it's hydrating without being too greasy, but it starts pilling even with very light contact.”

Among creams tried, the Double Repair cream pills like crazy.

“Sturm Super Anti-Aging Cream, La Roche Double Repair Cream (pills like crazy)”

Stopped using the Double Repair because it pills and left their skin looking dehydrated.

“It was horrible so do a patch test BEFORE using that one. I discontinued the double repair because it pills and it started making my skin look dehydrated.”

Their skin calmed after stopping the moisturizer, though they blame overdoing products too.

“I've stopped using the Toleriane moisturizer, but I'm still using the foaming face wash. It has calmed down significantly, but still a problem. I think my main issue was overdoing it and damaging my barrier.”

Breaks them out; they suspect the dimethicone in many LRP creams.

“Yes, me too without a doubt. The cicaplast balm also makes me break out. I recently discovered that la roche posay doesn’t agree with me. Think it’s the dimethicone in a lot of their creams.”

Broke out badly a month in and cleared almost fully nine days after stopping.

“I stopped using it 9 days ago when I saw this thread and my skin has cleared up almost fully.”

Had an acne flare-up right after switching to the LRP face moisturizer.

“Okay… I just switched to LRP face moisturizer and I’ve had an acne flare up.”

New to moisturizers and getting whiteheads on their shin after starting this one.

“I just started using this moisturizer and I am getting whiteheads on my shin…”

It caused them acne and didn't work very well.

“I used to use that exact la roche posay moisturizer and some thing it caused me acne. And didn’t work very well.”

Pills unless they put a serum underneath.

“It pills on my unless I put a serum underneath, then it's fine!”

Had a very similar reaction with the worst acne of their life.

“I had a very similar reaction when I tried to use that moisturizer a few months ago! I’d never had such bad acne in my life.”

Their usual LRP Toleriane moisturizer left them with constant chin cysts; they were cyst-free after switching.

“Ya’ll I haven’t had a SINGLE cyst since switching. Not ONE. It’s insane. What’s even odder is I’m still just as oily, but I cannot believe I have zero breakouts for 2 whole months now.”

Calls it terrific and good value, noting a 40 ml tube lasts a season.

“Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer is terrific. You can get a tube of it from Target for under $13 (October 2025), and the 40ml size is plenty for a season.”

Calls it a great lotion but it pills, which disappoints them.

“Here, because I googled about this killing after buying my first bottle. Disappointing. It's great lotion. I wish they'd fix that.”

Cystic acne returned after five clear years once they started using it.

“My cystic acne has been gone for the last five years until I started using this LRP moisturizer. Never again.”

Always pills, unlike the SPF version.

“For some reason, the SPF version of toleriane pretty much never pills on me, but the non-SPF one always does!”

Two years in and loves it, with no breakouts in a long time.

“I actually continued using the La Roche Posay double repair (non SPF) - been using for 2 years and I love it”

Loves it but it can pill under foundation if they aren't careful blending.

“sometimes the LRP moisturizer will start to pill underneath if I’m not careful with how I’m blending my foundation.”

Within three uses their face was drier, red and covered in small pimples.

“Within three uses, my face was even more dry, my cheeks had reddened and numerous small pimples formed on both sides of my face.”

Recurrent cystic acne on the lower face since starting it.

“started using it in november and ever since i’ve had recurrent cystic acne on the lower half of my face”

Their face got covered in pills from it.

“Same, I was so excited to try a “fancy” brand and now my face is covered in pills”

Loves how it absorbs, where CeraVe left a film.

“I use La roche posay touleraine double repair moisturizer now and I love how it absorbs. Feels like my skin just drinks it up.”

Pills off their skin a couple of hours after applying.

“switched to LRP double repair, but i'm having issues with piling”

It makes them break out even though they're told it's exactly what they need.

“Yea it makes me break out and they have told me it's exactly the moisturizer I need for my skin”

Feels so good and works very well but pills horribly.

“la roche posay double repair moisturizer. it feels so good and works very well but it pills horribly”

Great, and doesn't break them out.

“The LRP double repair without spf is great, does not break me out.”

The current formula pills after exfoliating and is terrible under most makeup.

“The current one pills on me, too. Not all the time, but it definitely has after recent exfoliation. It's also terrible under most makeup.”

Their last two bottles pill immediately if they touch their face.

“It never used to pill for me, but now suddenly it is. My last two bottles, both purchased in the time since this post was new. If I touch my face throughout the day, immediate pilling.”

Their skin loves this moisturizer.

“my skin loves the la roche possay toleriane double repair face moisturizer”

The new formula pills badly and is nowhere near as hydrating as the old.

“I absolutely loved the old formula. No.pilling, super creamy and hydrating. The new one pills so bad and nowhere near as hydrating for me.”

Skin became extremely dry with watery eyes after adding it, though they aren't fully sure.

“Even after layering this moisturizer with a hydrating facial mist, my skin will still feel and look DRY.”

Gave them the worst inflamed acne they've ever had.

“Gave me the worst inflamed acne I've ever had. I got it recently trying to look for a better alternative to cerave. I'm glad I was able to figure out it was this before it scared my face.”

Burns and reddens their skin as soon as they put it on.

“That moisturizer burns my skin. as soon as I put it on, my skin turns red and burns.”

With a simple cleanser, it helped repair their barrier by about 75% in two weeks.

“And my skin barrier has, in my estimation, repaired about 75% from how angry it was. There are patches of calm skin between the solid line of red pustules, and the actual redness is halved at least.”

Makes their sensitive areas burn.

“That LRP moisturizer makes my sensitive areas burn. My skin is so frustrating.”

Turned their face into a scaly, tight red mess.

“Yeah, the niacinamide in this turned my face into a scaly, tight red mess. Definitely not good for everyone!”

Loved it at first but later it sloughs off or gums up when rubbed in.

“But I can’t help noticing often I will put it on and as it begins to dry/get rubbed it—either my skin begins to slough off, or the lotion begins to gum up, or both”

Their favourite moisturizer right now.

“Oh no, this is my favorite moisturizer right now…fingers crossed I can still tolerate the new formulation :(”

Pilled up on their face and broke them out, so they returned to CeraVe.

“It pilled up on my face and also broke me out!”

After the reformulation it took months to realize it was causing breakouts and flared rosacea.

“Unfortunately it took me months before realizing this was the source of my breakouts and flared rosacea.”

Caused them issues, which they blame on the niacinamide.

“I think they added squalane. This moisturizer also caused me issues because of the niacinamide”

Stopped using it and their skin hasn't recovered; it triggered their rosacea badly.

“I stopped using it two months ago because of this and my skin still has not recovered. It triggered my rosacea really badly.”

A week in, they were breaking out and couldn't work out why, despite liking it.

“I've been breaking out and couldn't figure out why! This sucks because I really like it.”

Best moisturizer they've used: no issues and more moisturizing than any other.

“Honestly this is the best moisturizer i’ve ever used! it doesn’t give me any issues, and keeps my skin more moisturized than any other.”

Used it for years before switching to Vanicream Daily, which they love.

“I used to use double repair for years and then switched to vanicream daily. I love it!”

Continues to work great, maybe better than before the reformulation.

“It has continued to work great for me. In fact, it might even be working better than before.”

Has always broken them out, unlike the Dermallergo cream they love.

“The double repair has always broken me out, but the "Dermallergo" moisturizer is my HG. Specifically the one in the white tube, not the blue night time formula”

Ride-or-die moisturizer that hasn't clogged their oily skin.

“Nooooooo this is my ride or die moisturizer, it's one of the only things that hasn't clogged my oily skin!”

Had to return it because their face turned red and burned.

“I had to return this moisturizer! My face would be so red and it would burn after putting it on!”

It ruined their rosacea acne-prone skin, which improved on Vanicream and CeraVe.

“Yes this happened to me!! I have rosacea acne prone skin.. switched to vani cream wash and cerave lotion and it is so far so good. LRP ruined my face”

Their friend swore by it but it gave them tons of closed comedones right away.

“My friend swore by this and tons of closed comedones for me right away”

Worked great on tretinoin-dry skin with no breakouts so far.

“Hi, I just started using it and it worked really great for me! I’m usually combination skin but recently got prescribed tetrinoin+winlevi and my face was really dry! No breakouts so far.”

Uses it every morning on sensitive skin and never found it too heavy.

“I have sensitive skin and use this moisturizer every morning. It never felt too heavy for me.”

No issues in a couple of years of use.

“I haven’t noticed anything and I’ve been using it for a couple years.”

Its myristyl myristate and fatty acids burn and irritate their skin.

“For me it’s the myristyl myristate, palmitic acid and myristic acid that burn and irritate me.”

Found it has niacinamide, which they are allergic to, so it didn't work.

“I learnt it has niacinamide in it, which I'm allergic to.”

The new formula hasn't caused issues so far.

“So far the new formula hasn't caused me issues that I can tell”

Got the reformulation and it ended up being fine for them.

“The consistency and feel is pretty much the same imo. I'd used TO squalane before so I wasn't too worried and it ended up being fine for me- hope the same for you :)”

A month in, their skin has been better than ever.

“I just started using this a month or so ago, and my skin has been better than ever.”

A week in it leaves crust and pills badly.

“It leaves crust on my skin… bought it a week ago and pilling so bad”

The older formula pilled and made their skin feel tight.

“because beside the pilling the double repair seemed to make my skin feel tight.”

Definitely pills, unlike the sunscreen version.

“I feel like the sunscreen version hasn’t pilled for me at least if it did I never noticed it. But with this one it definitely pills.”

After the reformulation it started breaking them out with whiteheads and cystic acne.

“This is the only thing that worked for me and I'm sad to report it's breaking me out.”

The new formula is gel-like, less moisturizing than before, with a matte finish.

“The new formula is more gel like than cream (as in old formula).”

The new formula has no pilling, spreads easier and is more moisturizing.

“I just got my hands on some, it’s so elegant now, no pilling, spreads easier because of the squalane I think? And it’s more moisturizing.”

Amazing on dry sensitive skin: no more pilling and goes nicely under sunscreen.

“Comparing with the previous version I experience absolutely no more pilling.”

Thicker and greasier but no longer pills; they stopped due to squalane irritation.

“i tried it without realizing they reformulated, it’s a little more thick/greasier but it doesn’t pill anymore !”

The reformulated version has no pilling or white cast and feels a bit richer.

“No white cast or pilling that I used to notice with the old formula.”

Uses it on their dermatologist's recommendation and finds it pretty great, though wants more actives at night.

“using the LRP Toleriane double repair face moisturizer which is pretty great and my dermatologist recommended it for daily use”

The old formula gave them a horrible allergic reaction.

“oh maybe ill give the new formulation a try, the old one gave me a horrible allergic reaction”

Clogged their combo, acne-prone skin.

“Cerave, Cetaphil, Vanicream (both the daily moisturizer and moisturizing cream), and LRP double repair have all clogged my pores.”

Calls it the one and only thing that works for their skin; the one problem is pilling.

“THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY THING THAT WORKS FOR MY SKIN”

Switching from CeraVe AM/PM to the Double Repair made the biggest difference; it's richer for their dry skin.

“finding the right moisturizer has been the biggest difference-maker for me. Went from CeraVe AM/PM moisturizers to La-Roche Posay Toleraine Double Repair moisturizer which is a lot richer for my dry skin.”

Very dry, sensitive skin; LRP Toleriane Double Repair has been fantastic even through dry winters.

“I have very dry and very sensitive skin. The La Roche-Posay moisturizer had been fantastic even through the dry, dry winter months where I live. It's nice and thick.”

A long-time mainstay they love despite the pilling.

“It’s been a mainstay for me for so long. But even though the pilling annoys me, I still love that moisturizer.”

Very hydrating when it doesn't pill, but it pills more days than not.

“I want to love this product—it feels immensely hydrating *when it doesn’t pill*—but I have had far more pilling days than not”

One of the few products that gave them results: it moisturizes well in the desert and the niacinamide reduced their pore size.

“Seconding La Roche Posay, this is one of the few products I actually saw results with! Not only does it moisturize well (FYI I live in the desert) but the niacinamide really helped reduce my pore size.”

One of their best La Roche-Posay products.

“Best: Cicaplast Baume, Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer SPF, Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer”

The non-SPF Toleriane Double Repair pills under sunscreen.

“I just got the double repair without SPF, and I have trouble with it pilling when I put my sunscreen on top.”

Loves the non-SPF Toleriane Double Repair at night despite some pilling.

“I use the double repair without sunscreen at night and it pills some. I love it and still use it”

Woke up the morning after with little red bumps and tiny whiteheads, so it went back to the store.

“I wonder the % in LRP Toleraine Double Repair...bc I took a chance and woke up just now with little bumps!”

Caused minor breakouts all over, annoying rather than a disaster.

“Good news is that it wasn’t a disaster! Just all over minor breakouts, more annoying than anything.”

Five days after switching from CeraVe, their acne and texture issues were completely gone.

“I bought the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser and the the La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer. I’ve been using these products for 5 days and my acne and texture are COMPLETELY GONE!”
