this is something special.. with pink undertones:))))))) i use it as a corrector but sometimes like foundation, still leaves me with almost flawless face.. i have dry skin but my ruddiness is and my under eye are is way too dark.. studio finish concealer failed this one is the ultimate winner!! even though recently i noticed to travel on me, but the staying power has never been the best for anyway.. still good product, and if i use as concealer i will never run out of it:)))

The Toleriane Fluid Foundation and Compact have not been discontinued to respond to someone questioning this. It looks as though they may have discontinued it in Canada ans online stores that purchased this product from Canada. However it is available from stores that import it directly from France. I was so excited to find mine on AlexaSpa.com!

This is rather brilliant, feels like a tinted moisturizer and covers like a foundation. The tube is very travel friendly, easy to control how much comes out, the foundation covers redness and evens out imperfections beautifully. I'd say medium coverage. Finally, it doesn't react with my very sensitive acne-prone skin. Just make sure your face is very moisturized (but not shining) because if you have dry patches it does cling on those. And I like setting with powder or carrying blot sheets because this is not really matte on its own. All in all I wouldn't dump my Chanel foundations for this, but this is such a great everyday option.

This is my favorite foundation! I have had ache prone skin since i was 11 so this product is a god sent. It did not clog my pores at all. Also now that i am using a foundation primer it lasts much longer. I also dust a little bit of power over top to control shine.

This foundation gives a flawless coverage and doesn't irritate sensitive skins - it says on the box that it's for 'sensitive, intolerant skin' and it's been good to its word, and the SPF 20 is a plus.
If you're looking for a lot of coverage, this is for you. It seems even a little bit is too much! I prefer sheer coverage, so I mix it with moisturiser. You might also find that it rubs off a little bit, so you could use a primer and/or a setting powder; Laura Mercier's oil free primer is excellent, and sensitive skins should be fine with a mineral setting powder. Don't be put off at the idea of supplementing it with other products - the manufacturers say that they've steered clear of adding any ingredients that are not strictly necessary, and it's free of any irritant you can think of, so give it some leeway.
A big down-side is the choice of shades. I have an olive skintone and bought the 'beige clair' shade which is too pink, and the next shade up (beige sand) is too dark. For this reason, I wouldn't buy it again - even when I mix it with moisturiser for a sheer finish, it looks like I'm wearing a mask.
In short: if you have very sensitive skin, like full coverage and find a shade that matches, try this foundation.

Love this product....had never heard of it until my friend who works in a pharmacy recommended it. coverage is amazing - really covers up any redness and gives your face a flawless look....people have commented how clear my skin looks when im wearing it. I have it in 2 different shades....sand beige for when goin out and have tan on.Otherwise i use ivory everyday as i have naturally pale skin. The packaging is very cute and makes it so handy to pop in your handbag. I agree it can look a bit cakey it you don't blend well but remember a little goes along way. will def be repurchasing as it is hard to find a foundation with better coverage.

This is a good foundation although I mostly use it as an under eye concealer. Light beige is great for that purpose. I also use gold as a blusher/highlighter when I want a little more colour. I doesn't have any parabens or fragrance which is vital for me. It didn't cause me any reactions. I teach Pilates and also some cardio classes and as a concealer it didn't yet let me down. The only downside is when I use it overall, towards the end of the day it looks a bit cakey but not too much. For me the bottom line is it's a decent, non-irritating product at a good price. I bought my second tube and for summer I may also try sand beige. For reference I have light/medium olive skin which is terribly sensitive and reactive to many many things!

LOVE this. its a miracle in a bottle... i can wake up with the worst no sleep, blotchy skin and the amazing coverage leaves me with a flawless face. I have skin thats on the dry side so I imagine this could be a bit heavy for those with an oily complexion. I also have freckles that I cover up (a sin to some im sure) but this does the trick. As someone mentioned before my only complaint would be the lack of shades, so i find in the winter when im on the paler side i mix the light beige and sand beige and that seems to work just fine. Every other foundation fails after using this one.

I'm a huge fan of the brand but find this product horrible, probably the worst foundation I've ever used. Like other reviewers pointed out, it settles into my pores looking cakey and patchy (no matter how many different application techniques I tried!). I don't reccommend anyone to buy this foundation unless you are looking for a concealer to hide little pimples.

The BEST foundation I've tried!!! Provides amazing coverage (so much that if you prefer a more natural look, you might want to mix with a moisturizer), didn't clog my pores, lasts all day, the package is clean and simple. My only complaint is the poor selection of shades.

Purchased this in Ivory after having a sample of Beige. both are equally as nice, Ivory is about an NC20, slightly lighter but not by much. Beige i felt was closer to a NC 25, but had a tint of pink to it, but still nice. the colour choices are limited though so if i was paler i might stuggle with the Ivory shade. Coverage wise it is flawless, i've had many compliments, which i rarely get, as i have alot of acne scarring and melasma all over my face from my BC pill. I have yet to make this look cakey when applying, and i would struggle to find a way to since the coverage is superb with one layer, you can use it as well once it sets to cover up blemishes. i still use my Biotherm concealer for under my eyes, but as i have the beginnings of wrinkles i need to keep my undereyes covered with something that wont crease. i have tried this just under the darkest part of my 'bags' on bad days and then the biotherm everywhere else, adn i was impressed with the results. staying power is pretty good, and i have moeralty oily skin in my t zone. if i need something to last 15 hours i go with colourstay, but for a good everyday foundation that is none irritating, and covers perfectly, has caused NO breakouts what so ever in the 2 months ive been using it, will definatly buy again, this is nearly HG status for me. Purchased for £12 in the Uk as well which is an amazing price after forking out £35 for Chanel pro lumiere with less overall sucess.

I'm on my second tube right now and don't really plan to switch to something else. I have acne, i mean real acne, not just couple of pimples here and there, and this foundation makes my skin look flawless. It doesn't break me out and i also believe that i break out much less when i'm wearing it. Before buying it for the first time i got a bunch of samples of Vichy Dermablend and LRP Toleriane.They are very similar. Both have great coverage and not so great colors. Why did i choose Toleriane? With Dermablend my face became extremely oily within an hour, much oilier then without any makeup, with Toleriane it stays matte for 3-4 hours, not bad!
It might seem a bit pricy, but i was using my first tube for more than a year and i don't go outside without putting on the foundation. I will definitely give 5 lippies for the great coverage. It happened to me so many times when i wanted to buy some products in a drugstore for acne prone skin, consultants tried to convince me that i don't need them and that i don't have any acne whatsoever!
The colors are a little bit odd. I'm using #13 Sand beige. My first choice was light beige, but it's a bit pinkish, and i have olive undertone, so i had to go one shade darker. Normally this Sand beige would be too dark for my skin, but somehow it doesn't look fake and blends just fine. It’s not the ideal shade though, I have to admit, but it’s the closest one and the loose powder smoothes it out.
The bottom line is: if you have ACNE GIVE IT A TRY!

Let me start out by saying that functionally, this is an amazing foundation. It covers like you wouldn't believe, but you don't end up looking like some one has been pan-stiking you for an hour. Neutralizes redness, evens skin tone, everything. Alas, the people at LRP (and in most French thermal beauty brands) believe that everyone has jaundice. Or that people with fair skin don't wear makeup. Or both. I am an NC20 in the summer (!) and this gives me a nice, yellowy-orange mask. I don't believe in "fixing" this problem with another product, like powder or bronzer. I want something from such a fancy-schmancy ooh-la-la company to match me! Heaven knows that they're making enough money from this little tube to do it.

This is one of the best foundation Ive tried. I think it would be very good for thouse with very problem skin as it covers very well and looks natural.
As a concealer it's really really nice. The only thing is that it doesnt control oil. Though, i havent met any foundation which would control my oil perfectly.

This is the BEST concealer I've ever used! (tried MAC, HR magic concealer, EL, and others).. but also the woooorst foundation for me... Im giving it 3 lippies anyways cuz i really love this and cannot go out without it.. the coverage is just amazing! it makes pimples and redness disappear! And the price is also very cheap
As a foundation , i would not recommend this.. it settles into my pores, looks cakey , and oil control is very poor... But it doesnt transfer nor rub off and ingredients are safe for my skin.
Overall , i would definitely buy this again, bust just to use it as a concealer..

I LOVE this foundation! It is the best I've ever tried. Does not compare to the foundations that they sell in the US. Looks natural and is good for your skin. I have sensitive/combination skin - it takes out any redness and goes on smoothly and naturally. Bought mine on www.AlexaSpa.com and will definitely buy from them again. Fast service (received it in a day)! Lots of great samples too.

I am on the fence about this product. I said I would not repurchase, but I am using this foundation now. I ordered this foundation site unseen and got beige sable, which is too dark for me, so I was only using it on small parts over my EL double wear to add a little bit more coverage to reddish areas (specifically, the tip of my nose). But now that I am really tan and dark this summer, my EL Double wear in Fresco is way too light, so I got this out of my drawer and lo and behold it is perfect now with my tan color! Yay, I am excited because I am too cheap to go get a darker EL Double wear just to use for summer! These are the things I do not like about it: It settles into the lines in my forhead no matter what primer I use beforehand :( This would not be a problem if I had Botox though! Also, my face gets oily within a couple of hours and I never, ever have this problem with EL Double wear. I do not have oily skin and never use blot papers, etc. This foundation definetely produces oil in my face, which is not pleasant to have to double check my face so often.
What I do like about it: complete coverage and pretty flawless looking skin. It is more full coverage than the EL Double wear but still not mask like or unatural in my opinion. If you have any dry skin, this foundation will cling to it and show the flakes though.
Therefore, I would not repurchase, but will use up what I have and next summer, I will just buy one EL Double wear in one shade darker to get me through my tan summer months.

A salesperson at SDM recommended that I use this foundation because it's fabulous for ultra-sensitive acne-prone combo/oily skins (like mine). So I did and let me tell you that it's an awesome product. I am and have always been suffering from major acne throughout my life and have tried all sorts of coverups and foundations. They all seem to aggravate my skin even more and not to mention it didn't cover well at all. Within a few hours my redness and acne would show through. Upon using this, I got my self confidence back because it totally covered my acne and really toned down the redenss. It gave me an even skintone which was a miracle without the heavy and cakey feeling/look. Mind you though I had a bit of trouble finding the right colour because it tends to be more on the pink side (wish they had more colours to choose from and more with yellow undertones). I am using the Light Beige which I find is the closest match to my NC 25ish skintone. I first used the Sand Beige but it was a tad bit dark. I am docking 1 lippie because of the colour selection and it being all pink undertones. Keep in mind ladies that they do oxidize so a lighter shade is advisable plus you can always wear a bronzer on top. I love the packaging as it's very hygienic - a simply tube - and very user friendly. The price is affordable too ($29 CDN) which is great because I don't have to dish out $40+ for foundations (that are useless) anymore. Wouldn't repurchase this due to the limited color selection (makes me look pinkish).

I have recently had problems with cystic acne caused another foundation. Thankfully, this foundation covers my acne/scars and does not look cakey and I do not need a concealer anymore. I was feeling very down about my complexion, and this has boosted my confidence ten-fold. By the way, I ordered it online for $16.95 (plus $10 shipping)!!! (If you google the product, you will see a link for it.) I think it is definitely worth it. The only con that I have found is that it does not have the staying power that I need with my 12 hour work days. I like this for casual/weekend days, however. It has a nice, natural finish.

Horrible.I like the lrp line generally, but this is awful. Impossible to spread, thick, obvious and settles in your pores. have tried diluting it and using a primer but it is still terrible. Sorry I wasted my hard earned money on this!
