We put the La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. Keep reading for our full product review.
Of all the skincare vitamins, I’d have to say that A is my favorite. Commonly known as retinol, it truly does it all: clears, decongests, smooths, and refines. It’s a super-active, and my complexion wouldn't be the same without it. The one caveat, though, is that it can irritate the skin, especially in the early days of using a new retinol product.
Luckily, this dilemma doesn’t mean sensitive skin types should miss out on the benefits entirely. Enter La Roche-Posay's Retinol B3 Serum, an effective vitamin A formula with the addition of niacinamide, a known skin soother. The latter ingredient works to minimize irritation, but you still get all the skin-turnover benefits of the retinol. How good a deal is that?
