“ ... after years of struggles with very bad rosacea, multiple visits to dermatologists and thousands of rands later...” La Paix Skin care has literally changed my life, after years of struggles with very bad rosacea, multiple visits to dermatologists and thousands of rands later with no results, I was was introduced to La Paix. Being negative in that nothing will work I went to visit Yda van der Merwe of La Paix. Her passion and love for what she does gave me hope (even though I was very sceptical in the beginning) and she gave me samples to try. Within only a month I started noticing a difference even though small, there was a definite improvement. I have been using La Paix for just over 4 months now and I'm blown away by the change in my skin. La Paix has not only given me confidence back but has given me hope for once again having clear amazing skin. I went to an event last night with people i havent seen in a year and EVERYONE was so amazed and blown away by how amazing my skin looked and just wanted to know what i have done to get such amazing results. x I cant thank Yda and La Paix enough for walking this journey with me. I will be forever grateful.

“ I had the most wonderful experience with Yda van der Merwe regarding La Paix products. I’m so grateful to be able to use these fantastic products because my skin is very dry and dehydrated and La Paix is the solution. The product also gives my foundation an even smooth look. Yda is just like her product - PEACEFUL with a KIND heart. Thanks Yda. “ “ ...my skin is very dry and dehydrated and La Paix is the solution. ”

“ La Paix Skincare het regtig my lewe verander. Ek het nie n 'te bad' vel gehad nie, maar ek was nooit gemaklik om sonder make up uit die huis te gaan nie. Ek het al verskeie produkte probeer, maar niks het vir my die satisfaksie gegee nie. Ek het Yda ontmoet en sy het my voorgestel aan haar reeks. Niks op my afgedwing nie, net samples gegee en gese probeer. Ek het dit probeer en gelove. Ek kon binne n week n verskil voel en sien. Ek het natuurlik terug gegaan na Yda en vir my LA Paix Skincare gekry. Vandag gaan ek sonder make up uit sonder on 2 keer te dink. Baie dankie Yda vir jou toewyding aan wat regtig saak maak. Wat die produkte n bonus maak is die feit dat dit natuurlik is en bekostigbaar. Ek Sal nooit weer Ander produkte gebruik nie . “ “ La Paix Skincar het r gtig my lewe verander. ”
