La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water......Review

When I purchased this product I was initially skeptical about how useful it could really be. I was thinking "it's just water". But because it was only 6 euros for a relatively large bottle, which I knew would have lasted me a long time (and in fact it did), I decided to give it a try and bought it.

I think the main reason for which I decided to look into the La Roche Thermal Spring Water was the fact that I really wanted to have a product which could act as a toner but at the same time be as natural and chemical free as possible. So if you are asking yourself "DOES IT REALLY ACT AS A TONER or not?" keep reading....

Below are my opinions and conclusions on La Roche Thermal Spring Water. I have been using it for at least 5 months now and I can therefore give you a complete review, highlighting its benefits for the colder months as well as the warmer ones! 

1. This thermal spring water makes my face feel fresh, clean and cool especially when applied right after cleansing. To make it extra cooling and lifting I keep mine in the refrigerator, especially during Summer. So yes it does act as a toner, if the aim is to refreshen the skin and pack it with extra water to keep it hydrated.  
2. It also acts as a light hydrating lotion by leaving my face feeling very supple and comfortable with no feeling of tightness at least for 1 to 2 hours in Winter and for the rest of the day in Summer.
3. Thanks to its anti-irritant properties, I have seen a reduction in my cheeks redness especially in Winter when the cold air dries and irritates my facial skin.
4. Because its antioxidant properties should help in fighting skin aging, this is a great product for young women who haven't started anti wrinkle treatments.
5. I have used this instead of my moisturizer for a few days during the current heatwave and my face felt fine. So if you have normal to combination or even oily skin, la Roche Thermal Spring Water could replace your moisturizer when you are either in a hurry, it's too hot to apply a thick cream or when you want to skip this step under your makeup.
6. Its antioxidant properties also help reducing makeup oxidization which tends to cause darkening of foundation and concealer on the face. If this is a problem you have, try applying your thermal spring water on clean skin just before you apply your makeup and see if it makes a difference for you.
7. It is very economic. In fact it is cheap to buy and lasts several months. It lasted me more than 4 months using it once a day.

There are other brands like Vichy and Avene which offer different versions of Thermal Spring Water. Each one comes with the same concept but might have different benefits. You should at least try one and I am sure you will find at least one beneficial use. I will definitely be repurchasing this product but I am still not sure whether it will be La Roche or whether I should try out another brand. Leave your comments telling me whether you think Vichy and Avene are better than La Roche for their thermal spring water.
