Which La Roche-Posay serum is best for you?
Renowned for its dermatologist-developed formulas and science-backed skincare, La Roche-Posay is the French pharmacy brand that everyone ought to know about.
What serum does my skin need?
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Serum 30ml
Hyaluronic acid is a gamechanger in skincare, famed for its ability to rejuvenate and plump the skin. By delivering intense moisture to the skin, it helps to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while enhancing overall hydration and texture. What sets this formula apart is its unique blend of hyaluronic acid molecules in two different sizes. The larger molecules work their magic on the skin's surface, helping to smooth out wrinkles and restore a youthful fullness. Meanwhile, the smaller molecules dive deeper into the dermis, boosting skin volume from within for a more vibrant and youthful complexion.
Use this all the time morning and evening, works well under makeup and super hydrating without being greasy or making me look shiny.
La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Anti-Ageing Serum 30ml
Enriched vitamin B3, this serum helps to smooth, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin, resulting in a fresh, dewy glow. The formula features a unique blend of pure retinol that gradually releases into the skin, helping to minimise fine lines and wrinkles. By harnessing the synergistic effects of these two powerful ingredients, this serum brightens your complexion for a more luminous appearance.
I’ve tried so many retinol products and they’ve never suited my skin, always peeling or a weird look to my face. I tried this one and within a month of using it twice a week my skin is glowing and the best it’s ever looked! I’ve even had people ask what I’ve had done to my skin. No peeling or irritation.
La Roche-Posay MelaB3 Serum 30ml
Insecure about dark spots and uneven skin tone? Co-developed with leading dermatologists, the MelaB3 Serum is enriched with Melasyl™ active and niacinamide 10% to strengthen the skin barrier and help fade the appearance of discolouration.
This is my second bottle. I bought from a recommendation. I love the fact that it’s lightweight and not sticky and has helped give me more even skin tone.
La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum 30ml
Perfect for all skin types including sensitive, the Vitamin C12 serum is formulated with 12% pure vitamin C, providing a wealth of benefits for the skin. Clarify and brighten the skin while diminishing the look of fine lines, texture and discolouration. Salicylic acid offers a powerful exfoliation, refining texture for a restored softness, while neurosensine provides a soothing effect.
This is a lovely serum, it’s not at all heavy and sinks in quick. Skin looks and feels brighter after using, really impressed with this product.
No skincare routine is complete without protection...
Finding its way into many skincare routines, the Anthelios SPF is a real crowd-pleaser. Equipped with exclusive filter MEXORYL400, the sun cream helps protect against damage caused by UVA, UVB and ultra-long UVA rays, offering high protection with extra-lightweight overage. The SPF fluid is also suitable for sensitive skin types and is light enough to appear seamless under makeup. Oily skin? Why not try the Anthelios Oil Control Fluid SPF50, delivering comfortable, mattifying protection to blemish-prone skin.

From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
