Your dull, uneven skin tone won't fade with a generic vitamin C. You need 12% pure ascorbic acid in a stabilized formula that stays potent from first drop to last. La Roche-Posay delivers prescription-strength brightening without the prescription, formulated for your sensitive skin.
Key Benefits
- Fades dark spots: 12% pure vitamin C targets post-acne marks and sun damage
- Brightens dull complexion: Restores radiance dulled by stress and aging
- Smooths rough texture: Salicylic acid gently resurfaces uneven skin
- Calms during use: Neurosensine soothes reactive skin while actives work
- Stays potent: Stabilized formula prevents oxidation between uses
Key Ingredients
Ascorbic Acid (12% Pure Vitamin C): Brightens skin and fades hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production. Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates dead skin cells to smooth rough texture and refine pores. Sodium Hyaluronate + Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: Two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid hydrate surface and deeper skin layers. Adenosine: Smooths the appearance of fine lines. Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester (Neurosensine): Calms sensitive skin and reduces discomfort during application.
How to Use
Apply 4 to 5 drops to your cleansed face and neck each morning. Gently press and smooth the serum into your skin, allowing it to absorb fully before applying moisturizer and sunscreen. You can also mix the serum with your moisturizer in your palm before application. For a cooling effect, store the bottle in your refrigerator.
