LAROCHE POSAY RETINOL B3 PURE RETINOL SERUM

This anti-aging pure retinol face and neck serum leaves skin feeling smoother, hydrated, and renewed. As a result, the look of lines, wrinkles and premature sun damage is reduced. This retinol serum combines concentrated pure retinol and vitamin B3 for optimal effectiveness while also being suitable for sensitive skin.

Pure retinol can react on contact with the air, turning yellow. This does not impair its tolerance or efficacy.

As a precautionary measure, avoid using products containing retinol during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup or impurities.
Dry: Allow your skin to air dry completely after cleansing.
Apply Serum: Use the dropper to apply 3-4 drops of the Retinol B3 Serum to your face and neck. Gently pat the serum into the skin.
Layer (Optional): If desired, you can follow with other serums or moisturizers.
Morning Sunscreen: In the morning, ensure you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+ or higher.
Key Considerations:
Retinol Sensitivity:
Retinol can cause temporary redness, dryness, or flaking as your skin adjusts. Start with a few applications per week and gradually increase as tolerated.
Avoid Other Exfoliants:
Avoid using other chemical exfoliants (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid) simultaneously with retinol, as this can lead to excessive irritation.
Consult a Dermatologist:
If you have sensitive skin or have concerns about using retinol, consult a dermatologist.

Pure Retinol: A derivative of vitamin A (retinoic acid) that is widely recommended by dermatologists. When used in our formulas, it helps promote surface cell turnover and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3, niacinamide is a water soluble vitamin. It is widely used in dermatology for its soothing properties, helping restore skin's moisture barrier, and visibly fading skin discolorations.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA): A polysaccharide (carbohydrate polymer) found naturally within the skin. When used in a formula, HA is an effective humectant that can hold a large amount of water to help maintain the skin's moisture.
Glycerin: Derived from vegetable sources, it's an excellent humectant. It helps hydrate skin by absorbing water from the surrounding environment.
Dimethicone: A silicone-based polymer used as a skin protectant to help reduce water loss.
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: A soothing water sourced in the town of La Roche-Posay in France and a core ingredient in most of our products. It contains a unique combination of minerals, trace elements, and a high concentration of selenium, a natural antioxidant.
