I feel like this is your standard toothpaste; it does « tastes » good and leave teeth feeling clean and fresh, but I have very sensitive teeth and even though it claims to « protect sensitive teeth », I felt sensitivity while using it… Also didn’t notice any whitening effect.
I would not recommend it for sensitive teeth, but I guess it does the job otherwise.
It’s also sad that they test on animal.

I seem to keep being disappointed by this brand lately... I had the opportunity to try this hand cream and I was excited especially about the 'repair' promise of this product... but it did not seem to do much for my dry and eczema-prone skin! It is very light, and I would have expected a much richer and thicker texture for an 'insulating repairing cream'. It has a very strong unpleasant smell, it is full of disgusting occlusive ingredients (mineral oil, dimethicone...), and it does not moisturize my hands any more than any other hand cream I have tried. This is absolutely not worth 10$! -

I have used a few Uriage products in the past and it's not my favorite brand for my dry and eczema-prone skin, but this was such a waste of money... If you look at the ingredients, it's basically an expensive Vaseline! Mineral oil, paraffin, microcrystalline wax, dimethicone... Yes, they threw shea butter and avocado oil in there, but how is your skin supposed to asborb these nutrients if it's being blocked by occlusive waxes and oils?
This product did not moisturize or repair my skin at all... instead, it made my eczema flare up! Surprise surprise, dimethicone is a known allergen; it can cause skin irritation and allergic contact dermatitis.
If you are looking for a high end Vaseline, this is it!

I have been struggling with dry skin and eczema all my life, and I have tried a lot of soaps and shower products but I was never impressed with any of them until I tried this cleansing oil! It has a nice light and flowery scent, it doesn't foam a lot (which is a good thing since it usually means the product contains less harsh surfactants) but you don't need a lot of product, so the 1L bottle goes a long way for the price, and it feels so gentle on my skin! I still need moisturizer after the shower but this is so much nicer than harsh soaps or shower gels! -

I usually use Cerave Moisturizing Cream on a daily basis on my eczema-prone skin, but recently, I found it to not be enough against the harsh winter weather in Canada. My face was irritated, red and itchy!
I had the opportunity to try a sample of this product and WOW! I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! I went to purchase a bottle straight away! I have always loved shea butter, and Baume AP+ has some in it, which makes the texture amazingly thick without being greasy. My skin immediately feels soothed, and it feels soft and moisturized all day!
I have been struggling with dry skin and eczema ever since I was a kid, and I have tried EVERYTHING. I spent so much money on creams or lotions that would leave me disappointed, but I'm so happy to have been able to try this! Such a lifesaver, especially in winter!
It might seem expensive, but because the texture is so rich and the effect is long-lasting, you really only need a small quantity of product!

Wow! Ever since trying this product, I have been hooked and kept on repurchasing it! I have been struggling with dry skin and eczema ever since I was a kid, and I have tried EVERYTHING. I spent so much money on creams or lotions that would leave me disappointed, but this changed everything! Is it because of the ceramides, which are sooooo important to help restore the skin barrier, especially when it's defective because of eczema... This is the only product I use on my skin (face and body!) on a daily basis. Such a lifesaver! -

J’aime que la liste d’ingrédients soit simple, et que ce bouillon ne comporte ni arômes, colorants ou agents de conservation artificiels!
On a besoin de vraiment peu de bouillon pour que ce soit très riche et goûteux (1 c. à thé dans 1 tasse d’eau), et ça se dilue très rapidement. Ce bouillon goûte moins salé que les derniers que j’ai essayé! J’ai fait plusieurs soupes de style ramen et j’aime beaucoup!
Petit bémol: je trouve toujours qu’il y a trop de sel dans ces bouillons (650 mg pour 1c. à thé)...

Je ne suis normalement pas attirée par les gels car j’ai une peau sèche à tendance eczémateuse, je préfère donx m’en tenir à des crèmes riches avec un minimum d’ingrédients irritants. Comme je suis rarement déçue par Marcelle, et que l’été s’en vient, je me suis dit que ce derait génial de trouver un gel léger mais tout de même hydratant. La promesse de l’hydratation 24h et du complexe Water Lock (attirant et gardant l’hydratation dans la peau) m’intriguait!
J’aime bien le pot, il ne fait pas trop « cheap », mais en l’ouvrant, on se rend compte qu’on a droit à une plus petite quantité de produit que l’emballage laisse croire! Un pot n’est pas des plus hygiénique, mais c’est tout de même ce que je préfère.
La texture est légère, fraiche et fondante, vraiment ultra agréable! C’est ce qui m’a vendu au produit lorsque j’ai essayé le démo. Ce gel procure une hydratation immédiate. Je n’ai pas besoin d’une grande quantité de produit pour bien hydrater mon visage.
Côté résultats, je n’ai pas eu l’impression d’une hydratation longue durée (surtout pas 24h!) Je lui ai laissé sa chance pendant un mois, mais au lieu de renforcer la barrière d’hydratation naturelle de ma peau, j’ai bien vu qu’au fil du temps, ma peau avait besoin de plus. Le contour de mes yeux et de ma bouche (mes zones les plus propices à la sécheresse) s’asséchaient de plus en plus, et des rougeurs commençaient même à apparaitre. J’ai du revenir à ma crème régulière.
J’imagine que ce gel fera des heureuses si vous n’avez pas une peau avec des besoins particuliers, surtout pendant l’été!
