La Roche-Posay Substiane

The latest trend in anti-aging products is to increase in the density of the skin. Not a bad thing since skin thins with age. And the thinner the skin, the more susceptible it is to wrinkles (like the eye area). We tried La Roche-Posay’s Substiane, a paraben-free moisturizer that is said to increase skin plumpness by 29%. What we were surprised to see was that the moisturizer did in fact make our skin seem denser, and as a welcome side effect, our pores appeared smaller. This is one of the most effective anti-age products that we’ve tried, and it stands on its own – there’s no need to use a serum underneath. Substiane also strikes the perfect balance between providing enough hydration and being greasy. Priced at over $50, this may be more than you’re prepared to spend for a drug store brand, but at least it really works! Our tip: If this is a little above your budget try using it at night only to make it last longer.
