Can La Roche-Posay be used for a long time?

It depends on the specific situation. Everyone has different skin types and different requirements for skin care products. Because medicinal cosmetics contain medicinal ingredients and have medicinal properties, they will have some corresponding side effects and side reactions. Especially people with allergic skin should be more cautious. Cosmeceuticals are essentially functional cosmetics that can only provide certain relief and care effects on specific skin conditions and cannot be used as medicines.

1. The main function of medicinal cosmetics is still to moisturize and protect the skin, and it can play some auxiliary therapeutic role on certain skin diseases. For example, angelica beauty cream can not only whiten human skin, promote skin health, and delay skin aging, but also treat chloasma, freckles, etc.; there are also preparations made with angelica dahurica, bletilla striata, etc. to moisturize the skin and prevent rough and chapped skin.

2. Even if you have chosen the right medicine for the disease and the right cosmeceuticals, you still need to pay attention to whether you use it correctly. For example, ointments that can treat acne cannot be used continuously. Although it can relieve severe acne or acne to a certain extent, long-term use will make the skin resistant to the medicine. Moreover, many ointments contain trace amounts of hormones, and excessive use will damage the skin's barrier function.

3. The efficacy of general medicinal products is relatively single. They may only target certain problems but cannot take into account other issues such as skin hydration and anti-wrinkle. Therefore, it is recommended to use cosmeceuticals in stages, and other skin care products should be replaced after the symptoms are relieved.

4. There are many types of skin bacteria on everyone's skin. Generally speaking, these bacteria not only do not have any adverse effects on the skin, but also enable the skin to form a normal physiological cycle and play a role in preventing other bacteria and fungi from multiplying and invading. However, if medicated cosmetics are frequently used, not only will pathogenic bacteria develop drug resistance, but they will also kill these common bacteria, making disease treatment difficult and even causing new infections. Therefore, you should stop using medicinal cosmetics after you recover from the illness and avoid using them for a long time.

La Roche-Posay skin care products usage order

1. Cleansing products

Before skin care, cleansing is always the first step. Don’t underestimate cleansing, it is very important.

2. Make-up water

The function of toner is to cleanse again to restore the pH value of the skin surface and to condition the stratum corneum so that the skin can absorb better and prepare for the use of skin care products. Yi Yi recommends using astringent for oily skin, toner for healthy skin, softener for dry skin, astringent for the T-zone of combination skin, and sensitive water or repair water for sensitive skin.

3. Essence

The function of the base fluid is to increase the absorption of subsequent products. It should be used after toner and before essence/cream. The nutrients in the essence can activate cells, repair cells, increase cell vitality and defense capabilities, and play a repair and introduction function; at the same time, most of them contain both hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, which can break down the moisture and oil in skin care products at the same time, so that they can be better absorbed by the skin; they are also combined with ingredients that soften and moisturize cuticles, making it easier for the stratum corneum to absorb subsequent care ingredients.

4. Eye cream

I am used to applying eye cream after water and before lotion, but the order of applying eye cream doesn’t matter much. Because eye cream is only applied around the eyes, while lotions and face creams need to be avoided around the eyes. The usage range of the two does not overlap, so just apply them in the order that everyone is used to.

5. Essence

Essences generally have a higher concentration of active ingredients and can enhance special care functions, allowing the skin to achieve more obvious skin care effects. The molecules of essence are relatively small and should be used before lotion and cream, otherwise the skin cannot absorb the essence well.

6. Lotion or cream

After using the essence, you can apply lotion or cream. If you have oily skin, you can only use lotion, if you have dry skin, you can use cream. Emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsifier with a large water content, which can replenish moisture to the skin. It also contains a small amount of oil, which can moisturize the skin.

Okay, my friends, you all understand it clearly now. You know that long-term use of La Roche-Posay depends on your personal situation and the products you choose.
