La Roche Posay® Hyalu B5 Serum Reviews

I love the chic packaging and the serum itself is such a good consistency, I’m used to very thin water-like serums or very thick ones. This one got the consistency perfect, not too thick, not too runny, also there’s no strong smell, there’s definitely a scent, small amount of fragrance, but so light and faint, can’t even notice it really. This serum feels very nice, it instantly smooths and plumps up my skin, my face was so soft I couldn’t stop touching it, it reminded me of the time I first tried a silicone primer. So I checked the ingredients and there’s silicone in this serum, probably to give you this instant smoothing sensation, so you’d think it works wonderfully. Not sure why a serum needs silicone in the formulation, it sure locks in moisture in the skin and protects from dirt and pollution, but definitely tricks us into thinking how fast it works in smoothing out our wrinkles when in fact it’s just filled out with silicone. It doesn’t irritate my skin, doesn’t leave a sticky feeling behind and it doesn’t clog my pores, I definitely haven’t had any reaction to it, just smooth and hydrated skin. I even tried this without my usual night cream and my skin was still hydrated in the morning, I usually can’t skip creams with my other serums. La Roche Posay sure knows how to formulate nice products that don’t irritate, I’m still a tad disappointed in the addition of dimethicone, as it tricks us into thinking how it works instantly. Well, it doesn’t, I can’t see any effects that would last or a huge difference in my skin yet after about 2 weeks of using it. Nice enough product, but definitely not worth the price tag. There are serums out there with no filler ingredients that are cheaper. However it works beautifully as a primer(thanks to dimethicone) and this is so good under my foundation, I don’t get any dry spots around my chin and I never look cakey. It’s best used on top of moisturiser when used as a primer! This would have been an instant repurchase for me if the ingredients would’ve been better, as I really enjoy using it both at night and under my makeup in the morning.

I think my somewhat sensitive, temperamental skin just loves this brand! I received this to trial, and to be honest a little weary. I’m not the biggest user of serums but really need to start using them more. And this is one I’ll definitely continue using.

The good: it smells really good, refreshing and revitalising. It’s not too runny nor too thick so it is easy to apply without being messy. It comes in a great size - I’ve been using it everyday since I received it and feel like I’ve barely made a dent in it. I love the packaging - it feels premium and clean. And my skin feels nice and soft after applying. The best thing: it has not irritated my skin at all; not even redness after applying like I get with even basic moisturisers.

However, I haven’t noticed any difference in my skin. This could just be not using it for long enough or I just haven’t noticed anything. But considering it doesn’t irritate my skin and it’s nice to apply I will keep it up to see if it betters my skin in the long run. I would say don’t use it expecting an overnight result as this may not happen for you as it hasn’t for me. But it is a nice product that I don’t mind using longer term to see results.

I was lucky to have been sent this serum for review. I use La Roche Posay sunscreen on my face daily and love it, so I was looking forward to trying another product.

I’m 38 now and starting to notice the changes in my skin, although it’s not dramatic yet. It’s starting to tend more towards being dry and tightening up but I don’t have very defined lines yet. (Maybe it’s avoiding the sun like the plague!)

I have been trialling this product for a week and a half and so far I’m happy with the results. In my normal routine I use an oil after cleansing instead of a serum, so the texture of this was not what I was used to. It was a little stickier and at first I worried that it wasn’t going to be my thing or that it would give my makeup a weird finish.

My concerns were unfounded. I found this keeps my face feeling soft and hydrated throughout the day. Honestly my skin was a bit of a mess coming out of lockdown as I was a bit lazier with my skin care routine and probably drank more beer than water! It’s starting to feel smoother and less parched. I got ID’ed at the supermarket on Friday, so maybe I’m looking younger? Haha.

I like the clear blue glass bottle with a handy dropper. I’m a little unsure if I was using the correct amount of product but my skin seems to be happy enough with what I was doing. The fragrance was quite pleasant and familiar but I can’t recall what it reminds me of. I feel like I would buy this again but it’s a little early to say whether I like it more than my usual oil. Cost-wise they are similar.

This is by far the best serum that I have ever used!

When I started using this serum in my skincare routine, my skin was dry. dull and my wrinkles were looking pretty obvious. I have been using this morning and night since receiving it and my skin has done a full 360. Its incredible how much it has changed. I have noticed that my wrinkles are less visible, my skin feels super hydrated and more alive!

I really love the water-gel texture too. Its not too runny nor too gooey. I like how the bottle has a screw top and the dropper/applicator thing is seperate to the bottle.

You get 30ml of serum for $74.99. To me its worth every cent! A little goes a very long way, It looks like I haven't really made a dent in it.

I highly recommend this serum. Its now a permanent part of my skincare routine and I will be repurchasing.

I love this product! I have very dry, sensitive skin that reacts to a lot of products, and I find most serums make my skin worse. Not this one this. After the first use, my skin felt so much more hydrated and within a few days they had been a huge improvement. The appearance of my skin seemed calmer and not so red and it didn't feel tight. I will definitely use this again.

I really love the smell of this serum it smells really clean and fresh. Has an interesting texture on skin like wet powder if that’s even a thing. I haven’t noticed if it has diminished any fine lines as of yet usually products like these take a couple weeks to kick in. Will definitely continue using

The serum arrived in the telltale La Roche Blue and White packaging, a 30ml bottle, and a separate dropper. I have been trying various serums over the last 2 years and have been going back to my old trusted brand every time.

The product stated that it was Anti-aging concentrate, repairing, replumping for sensitive skin. The serum is to be applied to the face and neck and the watery gel texture was pretty light and spreads easily. It took me a few tries before I was able to drop enough on my hand to cover my face and neck and did not dry sticky at all.

You don’t need a lot of product so it lasts a long time I have always had pretty sensitive skin and with the constant use of water and hand sanitisers over the Covid period I have been left with pretty dry skin. The onset of winter also brings about heat from the air conditioners which instantly dries out my skin.

As my skin is very sensitive (psoriasis prone) and many products can irritate and inflame my skin, this product did not lead to any irritation which is plus point.

I found that the serum left my skin feeling plump and definitely replenished my skin. The product had quite a strong fragrance, but not overpowering. I do think over a period of time using the product it will improve the condition overall, a week did not show much of a difference.

The bottle was easy to close with the dropper and I disposed of the bottle’s original cap. The packaging went to the bin with the cap. Bit of a shame to fill the landfill.

Apply morning and evening on clean face and neck and follow up with moisturiser. I have been using the product twice a day and as with most serums this will last long.

Price wise $69-$75 depending on where you buy is in line with other serum I have used before but for me did not have the same benefits.

This is a fantastic serum and will now be my go-to serum that I use morning and night. A little goes a long way. It soaks into the skin really easily and has a light, refreshing scent to it. It worked under my make up well, but there were also days where I ended up having a make up free day as this really makes your skin glow and this serum followed by some SPF was all I needed. I noticed over the few weeks that I was using this serum twice a day, that my skin did look plumper and healthier. You could see a noticeable difference. So this really works while still being gentle on the skin. I love it!

I have been so impressed with this brand for its gentle yet effective formulas. I was so excited getting a trial for this product.

I really like the focus on natural ingredients and simple ingredients that are great for sensitive skin like mine.

The packaging is simple, sleek and modern. I like the white and stylish look. This little package comes with a dropper that you use to apply the serum.

I just the cleanser and moisturiser from this range and my skin is the most moisturiser it ever has been.

The serum is a nice lovely formula. I apply it both morning and night. It’s been a great addition to my skincare routine.

My skin feels very healthy these days. It is moisturised and hydrated. This serum is a nice product, even for those with sensitive skin.

A five star product.

I was lucky enough to trial the La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 serum. I have fairly sensitive skin and have been incorporating more anti-aging products into my skincare regime so was interested to see how it went, although I don't have the obvious wrinkles or loss of volume the product appears to be marketed at.

I love the product packaging, it comes in a blue glass bottle with ab dropper applicator, allowing you to hygienically dispense a small or larger amount of product.

The formula itself is a lightweight, clear serum which I found very heavily fragranced. It actually reminds me of a perfume I have owned and is a nice scent, however I prefer my skincare to have a more subtle scent as I don't like unnecessary extras in them.

I applied a couple of squeezes morning and night to my face and chest. The product felt instantly hydrating when applied and absorbed fairly quickly. Afterwards my skin did feel very hydrated and 'plump'.

While my trial did show that based on my skin type the serum met it's hydrating claims and I would recommend it to those wanting a hydrating serum with any skin type, I personally wouldn't purchase it for myself as I found the fragrance just too strong for my liking, but I would use it again if it was ever reformulated.
