La Roche Posay Hydreane BB Cream

After discovering a new love of BB Cream, (thanks to Maybelline’s offering) I was delighted to try out La Roche Posays offering to the BB cream market. Hydreane BB cream promises to moisturises, soothes and protects, whilst also unifying and illuminating even the most sensitive skin.

Hydreane BB Cream features the legendary Thermal Spring water which is hydrating, anti-oxidant, anti-irritant and softening, along with an SPF20. Even though its winter,we should all still be wearing an SPF to keep free radicals at bay. This BB cream has five missions.

1. Hydrates for 12 Hours: HYDREANE BB CREAM embodies all the thermal hydration and comfort of the HYDREANE range for sensitive skin types. La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water is combined with glycerine, sodium hyluronate, vegetal oils (passion flower, apricot, maize, brand, rice) and Shea Butter for long lasting comfort and hydration.
2. Smooths: Upon application of HYDREANE BB CREAM, skin breathes a sigh of relief, regaining its freshness and calm thanks to the naturally soothing effects of La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. Skin sensitivity is reduced in just 2 weeks of use.
3. Stregthens: HYDREANE BB CREAM is not just another BB. First and foremost it is a dermatological skincare product, developed for the most sensitive of skin. The naturally high selenium content of La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water aids skin’s defense mechanisms against the free radicals that can cause skin irritations.
4. Protects: HYDREANE BB CREAM contains sun filters to protect sensitive skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays and prevents pigmentation reactions (age spots). Its SPF20 UV protection is empowered by the same filter as the ANTHELIOS range.
5. Unifies and Illuminates:HYDREANE BB CREAM contains a unique combination of pigments to suit all skin tones; correcting imperfections and unifying the complexion. The rich, creamy texture melts into the skin without ever caking.

I really liked La Roche Posays offering to the BB Cream market. The texture is like a light foundation and applies evenly on the skin. On application my skin looked even and any imperfections were covered up. I was sent Medium to try, which although is too dark for my pale skin, it is perfect for my tan. There is alos a light shade available, one which I will definitely be investing in once my Maybelline is empty. It is available at your local La Roche Posay stockist now and retails at €18
