The skin instantly looks plumper and fresh. Over time, the wrinkles and fine lines are less noticeable, and the face is way more resilient.

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 – ingredients & consistency
This face serum contains two types of the HA (low and high molecular weight) which moisturize the skin and reduce the fine lines. The acid in the La Roche-Posay Serum is sticky and leaves an unpleasant film on the skin that you feel while you wear it. The components of the product create an occlusive coating protecting the skin from damage.
Vitamin B5 (panthenol) plays an important role because it strengthens the epidermal barrier and soothes irritated skin. Madecassoside, on the other hand, is extracted from the Indian pennywort and used in anti-wrinkle products since it is a natural antioxidant.
The thermal water used in the La Roche-Posay Serum is another valuable ingredient – it soothes the skin and aids in alleviating reactive skin. Unfortunately, all wonderful substances are combined with harmful ingredients such as alcohol denat (strongly dehydrates), PEGs and aromas which may cause allergic reactions and irritate sensitive skin.
How to use the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum?
This face serum can be used in the morning or evening on thoroughly cleansed face, neck and chest.
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum – effects
The complex of active ingredients prevents the signs of natural skin aging, reinforces the skin’s protective barrier and keeps the skin safe from the outside factors. Regrettably, the price of this serum is way too high when we consider the effects. Many synthetic substances in the formula make the active ingredients work worse.

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum – summary & opinions
This could be a good face serum – some components are unnecessary. Alcohols dehydrate the skin; unknown-origin aromas aren’t beneficial either. That’s why this serum gets some poor opinions. The La Roche-Posay Serum causes irritations and is unsuitable for sensitive skin.
