Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, this formula includes neurosensine to calm your skin during application. La Roche-Posay designs every product for sensitive skin. Start with every other morning if you're cautious, then increase to daily.
How is 12% vitamin C different from 10% serums?
The 12% concentration delivers faster, more visible brightening on stubborn dark spots compared to 10% formulas. It's the highest potency you can get without a prescription, stabilized to stay active throughout the bottle.
Will this serum turn orange in the bottle?
No, La Roche-Posay uses a stabilized ascorbic acid formula that resists oxidation. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct light. The formula stays clear and potent from first use to last drop.
Can I layer this serum under sunscreen in the morning?
Yes, apply 4 to 5 drops to clean skin each morning, let it absorb for one minute, then layer your moisturizer and SPF. Vitamin C actually boosts your sunscreen's protection against free radical damage.
