La Roche Posay® Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum

First impressions, I was impressed with the packaging. I loved the purple colour of the bottle and how it was pearlescent. I have used other La Roche Posay products before which I found a bit bland packaging-wise, but this product is one of the nicest serum bottles I've come across. Instructions for use are contained on the bottle (which is handy because I accidentally got rid of the box it came in before I'd read through the information thoroughly). It didn't say exactly how much to apply though, which would have been useful. I ended up just dabbing a drop or two worth on each part of my face.

I loved the scent - sort of like Lush Snow Fairy body wash and jellybeans, but also not too overpowering or sickly. The product itself also had a pretty pearlescent colour. It was a nice consistency (not runny or thick) and felt silky on the skin but unfortunately the applicator was terrible from the get go. It didn't seem to pick up much product, so instead of applying drops of the product into my palm I had to roll the applicator over my palm and then dab it on my skin.

The dropper also seemed to be too big for the bottle, so it was hard to put it back in once I'd used it. That resulted in the product getting all around the (outside) of the neck of the bottle. I went on holiday while I was trialling the serum, but because the product would get on the outside of the bottle I was too worried to take it my holiday with me as I thought it might be too messy in my makeup bag unfortunately.

I used the serum twice a day, applying it to my whole face before moisturiser, focusing mainly on some dark spots I have under my eyes. It was lovely and rich/hydrating, but not sticky. The bottle also suggested applying it to the neck and even hands. I didn't see the point of applying it to my neck as i dont have dark spots or discolouration in that area, but I did apply it to the backs of my hands some days and loved how it absorbed fast, and didn't feel greasy.

I didn't really see an improvement with my dark spots but I will keep using the serum for a few reasons. It makes my skin feel hydrated and look even-toned, it didnt make me break out (rare!), and I think with more time it may make a difference to the dark spots. It's also a fair price for the quality of the serum, but I wish the dropper dispensed the product better - because it doesn't, I dont think I will purchase it going forward.

This little bottle packed a punch, in a unassuming packaging of a glass bottle, and convenient glass dropper, this little beauty had hidden gems inside! I preferred to use it in my night routine rather than my day due to my heavy exposure of outside life, and it offered a welcomed relief and so great “me” time to enjoy what this product could do, after cleansing I gently applied to my face within the first week a noticeable difference in skin tone and was more softer, by the end of the trial fine lines and crows feet appeared more smoothed out and less obvious, my skin was really glowing with a new fresh rejuvenated look! The texture of the serum is unusual compared to my other ones this had a slight grit feel but Was very sleek and hardly noticeable, there was no fragrance, and it was very easy to apply, no greasy after feel, and the following morning no clogging. Overall I am very impressed ! Since I have sensitive skin this was a very ideal product to brighten up my exhausted over exposed to the elements skin

It feels like I've been living under a rock for the past however long because this was the first time I'd heard of niacinamide. But I'm definitely now part of the fan club.

The La Roche Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 serum comes in a classy purple glass bottle with a separate dropper. The serum itself is a pearlescent purple colour and has a fresh scent which I really liked, especially in the morning under my sunscreen and moisturiser.

When using the serum I definitely felt like my skin was brighter and I felt refreshed. As a mum of three under three, believe me that doesn't happen often! I think it made my skin more hydrated and definitely looked a bit plumper and 'younger' than usual.

The serum absorbed quickly into my skin and I didn't have any sticky residue. It was very easy to use and while I like the dropper, I stopped using it after the first few times and put it straight onto my fingers. Just after the speedier and less fiddly option and it worked well.

I have a lot of freckles and a few noticeable dark patches on my face. While it doesn't seem like they have faded, I imagine this is something that will come with extended use. I'll keep you all posted!

La Roche Posay is such a great brand with quality products and this serum is no exception.

I am a huge fan of LRP as it’s got a good reputation for being gentle with sensitive skin. I use their sunscreen daily and a number of other products and for my sensitive skin this has been very gentle.

It feels great on the skin nice and gentle and cooling. It seems to plump and radiate the appearance of my skin, so my skin was glowing!

My skin feels a lot more hydrated and this has helped to settle my skin. I apply in the evenings and again in the mornings which sets me up a nice base for layering. It is quite a thick consistency, so I am happy to use it as it is.. but also find I can layer it with other serums, makeup or sunscreen in the morning. I just put it on with lots of time to absorb and settle and it’s started me off with a smooth base.

It gives a nice dewy appearance and smooths my skin which is starting to look more even. I have some sun spots on my cheeks and hands and nose and I must admit these look faded. They haven’t 100% gone but they are 100% easier to cover up.. the lines of them seem softer and can be more easily blended into the back ground. So it’s definitely doing something.

Non scented and non sticky formula, just a thick serum that you don’t need to use a lot of. My bottle is still mostly full. Which is great.

Can’t wait to see what it does over the next wee while too.

My first time trying this brand and omg love this stuff. I love the smell, to me it smells expensive. It has one of those lids where you squeeze to get product and comes out in drops. It feels so silky and smooth on the skin and I have loved using this along with my other skincare, it has worked well with my other products. Since using this my skin looks clear and brighter. Highly recommend!

The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle was the pearlescent purple colour and the nice light scent (I can't tell what the scent is, but I like it!). It goes on super smooth and absorbs really quick. After applying it my skin looks and feels smoother and my skin tone is more even with reduced Pore size. I haven't noticed a difference in dark spots, but this isn't a huge concern for me

The results, however, don't seem to be longterm. They only seem to last for an hour or so after applying it, but this could definitely be due to the fact I've only been using it for a few weeks.

I'm excited to continue using it and hopefully see some longer term results!

Firstly I love the packaging’s d the bottle , my favourite colour is purple! Simple and easy to use , with very clear instructions.

A milky white serum that spreads really easily and is smooth , not sticky . I found it really hydrating . I love anything that has hyaluronic acid in it as it’s such a staple for hydrating skin. Who doesn’t want hydrated skin .

I noticed no reduction in dark spots or blemish spots , pores unfortunately stayed the same . I had really hopes for this serum and I would really like to try the rest of the range from this company .

But I cannot use highly scented facial products that have a floral fragrance to them as it gives me migraines . I have since given to my 20 year old Daughter with blemish marks and large pores . So far she loves it and I’m excited for her to see a reduction in her blemish marks and hydrate and brighten her skin .

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! It felt so lovely applying it and didn't leave a sticky or tightening feeling. I look forward to my skincare routine when I use this. The smell is fresh and light. The only downside I found was the dropper, the end is flat and not round...it was hard to suck the product up. I have been applying it with my fingers in a circular motion. The packaging is nice and simple (much like other serums). I would buy this again with no hesitation. It is pricer than I would normally pay but after trying it, I don't think I could go back

I'm so pleased that I put my hand up to trial the La Roche Posay Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum! I've heard of the La Roche Posay brand, and have read great reviews about some of their other products, but this is the first of their products that I've tried.

Nice quality packaging and bottle, with quite a thick glass dropper.

The serum is thick but not at all heavy. It is non-greasy and it absorbs nicely into the skin. The colour is really cool too, it's opaque but it almost has a very light blue-ish shimmer to it.

After applying it, my skin felt very hydrated - and it quickly calmed any redness on my face, including pimples. I always applied it at night, and the next day my skin felt smooth - so I assume that is the gentle exfoliator doing it's job.

In the short time I have used this I have already noticed a difference in my pigmentation, especially across my forehead and cheeks. Given that I have already begun to notice an improvement, I plan to keep using this and am excited to see the results.

I have looked online, and the product sits around the $75 - $85 mark from what I can see. While this isn't a 'cheap' product, it's by no means the most expensive serum on the market, and I feel it's good value. You really don't need to apply much, so the bottle will last for ages.
