We might be in between seasons of Sex And The City’s reboot, And Just Like That, but that doesn’t mean our interest in SJP’s glam has slowed down. We’ve mastered Carrie’s soft, undone waves and even discovered the exact four products behind her glowing on-screen makeup. And now, as the final piece in the SJP beauty puzzle, we’ve uncovered the secret to her soft and youthful skin. However, it appears that SJP’s complexion is nearly a decade ahead of us.
Proving that consistency really is key, Sarah Jessica told Vogue UK, “I am not really a products person but I’ve been wearing the same moisturiser for the last eight years.” Unlike fellow celebs who you won’t find recommending a cream under $100, (looking at you Victoria Beckham), Sarah’s loyalty lies with a product you’ll find on the shelves of your local Chemist Warehouse: La Roche–Posay’s Toleraine Fluid ($31.99, Chemist Warehouse).
“I like it because it’s like water and it’s really good, plus I can’t wear moisturiser with fragrance in it and it doesn’t have that,” she said.
For those who aren’t familiar with this French pharmacy product, it is intended for oily and acne-prone skin types and works to soothe sensitivities, reduce redness and boost hydration. The lightweight, breathable texture makes it ideal for layering underneath makeup during the day and as a comfortable last step in any nighttime skin care routine.
If SJP’s rave reviews weren’t enough, here’s what our very own beautyheaven members had to say…
“This moisturizer has become one of my favourite face products to use on a daily basis. I have oily skin and have thus struggled to find a moisturiser that doesn’t cause me to break out the next day” – Kate Giddy
“The La Roche Posay ultra daily moisturiser is very gentle and geared towards those who have really sensitive that is prone to irritation and redness. It hydrates the skin without being too thick or heavy” – Miss19
Have you tried SJP’s go-to moisturiser? If not, which moisturiser do you rely on?
Love SJP and her ‘real’ tastes – she’s really quite an amazing person in the way that no matter what she puts on, she wears it and it doesn’t wear her. She has that special inner confidence thing!
I agree she certainly does have the inner confidence
I love fluffy Avene moisturizers from French pharmacies. LRP are coming out with some good serums
For me best quenching moisturizers good for non clogging, no coated and no grease effect are Murad h-y-d-r-a and Clinique 100h moisture surge mineral oil free (forgot the name) creams.
Thanks for the advice
I love LRP and Avene products too, they are gentle and kind to the skin. My love for French skincare started years ago with Vichy and I was so glad to discover LRP and Avene later
Eau Thermale Avène is wonderful and so very gentle!
I don’t know if I’ve tried that one before
Ooh, I would love to try this moisturiser!
I love reading about the celebrities that use affordable products that us mere mortals can afford. SJP could easily afford some super expensive products but likes this product and isn’t about trying to show off using some over priced brand. I also love that she reads books and uses libraries.
Yes a real person we can all relate too.
I would love to try this moisturiser.
Not tried yet but heard it promoted by a derm on
YouTube, going on my to try list
If I wear a moisturiser, I like the ultra-light ones.
I have dry skin rather than oily and I love DR Lewinns products but often try different moisturisers
I’ve not tried this moisturiser yet…
I haven’t heard of this moisturizer. I must get out more 😀
I totally agree, this moisturiser feels lovely on. I have oily skin and it absorbs nicely without me looking like an oil slick.
Chemist or pharmacy- not a drugstore, we’re not in the
USA.
Thanks so much! It really annoys me that articles refer to drugstores!
Thanks so much- it annoys me to!
Well I will have to check this out.
I like The Ordinary’s moisturiser with HA – not over the top for my oily skin.
This is one of my favourite moisturisers!
Some of my favourites are LRP, Avene and Embryolisse but I also use other brands. I don’t think I’ve ever used the same brand twice in a row.
I’ve never heard of Embryolisse!
I have received a few samples of this moisturiser and I found them to be really nice, but I have to say Avene is still my favourite French pharmacy brand.
Really love La Roche Posay Skin Products it’s nice to know that Sarah Jessica Parker is using this La Roche Posay ultra daily moisturiser.
That’s great that celebs realise that some brands are good even if not considered premium.
This is definitely a reliable brand, though I haven’t tried this particular product.
Reducing redness is for me but I don’t have oily skin
This is a good moisturiser for under makeup/oily skin/summer. Love La Roche Posay.
I’ve always loved Sarah
Looks like a really good moisturiser, i like the brand too. Worth a shot
Great brand.
Not a brand I’ve tried.
Such a great brand, honestly I am not surprised that it is her go to!
I agree!
I will be getting this
Must try this one
never tried this one but looks good
I would love to try this.
Ooh I need to try this!
I love LRP Toleriane Dermo Cleanser! The best!
I must admit she is aging well and I love the fact she is not bothering to die her hair even though she is going grey. She still looks fantastic and probably feels quite happy with how she looks. Good on her.
I probably wouldn’t use this product as my skin is on the drier side.
