Frequently asked

Is La Roche-Posay worth the money?

▾

Yes — La Roche-Posay is actually cheaper per ml than the middle of the market. Measured per ml, La Roche-Posay sits below the $1.66 category median, so there is no premium to justify — buy it on preference, not as a splurge. The one caveat is pack size: a small bottle can still be a large total spend even at a fair price per ml, so check the sticker as well as the unit cost.
