Uriage has been meeting the needs of sensitive skin thanks to its internationally renowned dermatological expertise since its creation in 1992. After the invasion of Gaul, the Romans stopped on their journey over the Alps and found a spring in the foothills of the Belledonne mountains. They realized that this water had healing properties and decided to build the first thermal center there. Relics discovered close to the spring are evidence of this centuries-old thermal tradition. In the 1920s, Uriage becomes a fashionable listed thermal spa town like the first center at Dauphiné. Numerous celebrities come to stay at Uriage including Edmond Rostand, Coco Chanel and even Colette.

Uriage products contain Uriage thermal waters combined with other components in all of their products and all are produced in collaboration with dermatologists and pharmacists. Uriage thermal water has moisturising, anti-inflammatory, healing, anti-radical, softening and isotonic properties making it more effective than the thermal waters used in other brands. The products are hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic and paraben free so they are suitable for even sensitive and reactive skin, like mine. Given all of this, I was very excited to try the products. I have given them a good road test for the last four weeks and I'm ready to share my thoughts with you today.

Roséliane Dermo-Cleansing Fluid: I normally use cleansing balms/oils so was unsure how my skin would react to using a cleansing lotion. It is described as a make-up remover and cleanser, but I found that I had to use a lot of product to thoroughly remove my make-up so my preferred way to use it after my oil/balm cleanser to double cleanse at night, and as a morning cleanser and I have used it in this way for the past four weeks. The lotion is a creamy texture and has a lightly floral scent (it contains mallow, calendula, rose and apricot kernel oil as well as uriage thermal water) and it feels very refreshing on the skin. The Rose is excellent for soothing sensitive skin, and the apricot kernel oil will hydrate the skin. It cleanses without stripping the skin and didn't leave any residue. My skin felt soft to touch after using this and didn't react adversely at all over the four weeks. It is priced at €20.50 for 250ml, which would last a good few months as I have used less than 20% over the last four weeks. It can also be got in the duo pack for €21. 

A rich and non-greasy cream that provides the optimal combination of skincare and makeup coverage for rapid application and a perfectly sheer finish. It conceals redness, evens out skin tone and adds radiance to the complexion, while offering protection against UV light, thanks to its SPF30. Upon application, comfort is immediately restored to skin, leaving it soft, perfectly moisturized and soothed.

Roséliane CC Cream: A rich and non-greasy cream that provides the combination of skincare and makeup coverage for rapid application and a perfectly sheer finish. It conceals redness, evens out skin tone and adds radiance to the complexion, while offering protection against UV light, thanks to its SPF30. Upon application, comfort is immediately restored to skin, leaving it soft, perfectly moisturized and soothed. This claims to moisturise, protect and conceal and it contains SPF 30 and it comes in one universal shade. The CC cream is definitely moisturising and doesn't cling to any dry patches or oxidise on the skin.  It offers light coverage, is perfect for minimal make-up days and has a satin finish but doesn't look greasy. Without primer, it needs touching up after 4-5 hours so not the most long-lasting, but a little spritz of thermal water as a primer, or a silicone primer and it holds up wonderfully.  It is perfect for no makeup days or for summer days when it is hot and humid. It is priced at €20.50 for 40ml. Again it can be got in the duo pack for €21.  Below is a before and after of me using the CC Cream.
