La Roche Posay® Hyalu B5 Serum Reviews

I loved this product - it does exactly what it says it will and my skin definitely felt hydrated, despite it being winter where I would usually move to a heavier day moisturiser so my skin doesn't feel dry all day. I genuinely believe that using this product before moisturising has stopped my skin feeling dry later in the day. The dropper is fantastic - easy, no mess and portion controlled. In terms of absorption it was quick meaning you didn't have to wait around before applying moisturiser. Really good product. I popped it in my handbag for a 'refresh' if I needed it during the day. Too easy.

I am always a little dubious when the advertising on a product claims "re-plumping" and "suitable for all skin types". In my experience, this is seldom the case. I was pleasantly surprised to try this product and find that after the first day I could actually see a difference! The bottle is nicely presented and comes with a little tear dropper for easy application. The serum is slightly slimy and I quickly learnt that you only need enough for a thin layer when using it through the day. The product has no scent which I usually like to have a pleasant scent to my products but I didn't mind as this was the first layer to my skin care regime. The product sat nicely underneath my foundation and regular day cream. But what I loved the most was that my skin ACTUALLY looked brighter. After about 5 days, the finer lines around my eyes and forehead had improved. I've even had a makeup free day this week!! I am excited to be permanently adding this serum to my regime as I am convinced that it did what it said it would.

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing Serum 30ml

I got the opportunity to review this serum and OMG I'm in love , I have tried other serums on the market however this one hands down is the best! is a bit pricey retailing at around $70 dollars you pay for quality !

a couple of drops morning and night face and neck and your skin feel healthy , plumped ,soft one application for me was enough to see how my skin was feeling hydrated , I highly recommended if your skin feel dull and tired is suitable for all skin types and also is hypoallergenic .

You won't be disappointed a drop dispenser is included to help you distribute just the exact amount so you don't loose any of the serum .

I spent awhile reading the bottle and packaging trying to figure out what I was meant to do with this, all I could find was it said to apply to face and neck. So I used a few drops all over and rubbed it in with my hands like a moisturiser. Someone else may have a better application technique but this worked for me.

I suffer from quite dry and sensitive skin, worse so in the winter, and for that this is amazing. My skin feels soft and smooth after using and there has been no reactions at all. I haven't seen a reduction in fine lines but that may take longer to come. There isnt really a smell, the serum is thick and opaque, almost white in colour. It is easily absorbed without leaving any greasy residue. All in all a great product.

La Roche Posay is known for being (mostly) fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive or irritated skin. It’s what I value about the brand as a whole. But the moment I opened this little bottle of serum I was hit by the potent amount of fragrance.

The scent is actually really pleasant. But for those with sensitive skin - or people like me who simp,y avoid fragrance because it is unnecessary in skin care - this would not be recommended.

The texture is beautiful though. A thick serum, yet it absorbs quickly. I noticed my skin felt quite irritated if I didn’t immediately lock in the hylauronic acid with an occlusive moisturiser (such as the Cicaplast Mains from LRP). But most moistures should work well over the top of this.

My skin has definitely felt more plump since using this, but I already get enough hylauronic acid from other skin care products so probably won’t repurchase.

I use quite a few La Roche Posay products (cleanser, moisturiser, sun screen, etc) so I was excited to be invited to trial this new product. After using it twice a day for the past couple weeks, I have to say it has gone above and beyond my expectations and is definitely my favourite La Roche Posay product to use!

The formula is a gel which makes it feel like you are tons of product - after about a week I felt like I would have used about a third of the bottle but checked and the bottle still looked practically full (thank goodness!). It goes on quite thick and sticky but absorbs very well and left my face looking so full and plump - in a good way. The serum leaves my skin feeling moisturised throughout the day and, when I apply it at night, I wake up to smooth, plump skin. I've found myself going completely foundation free most days; my skin feels so good and smooth.

I honestly can not say enough good things about this product - I didn't notice any bad side effects and my skin was happy with the product immediately (no breakouts or redness) - and will definitely be adding it into my skin care regime!

The packaging of the product is simple as is the application. The bottle is a generous size- I'd prefer if the serum had a pump top. I find that easier to control and ensures you get all of the product when it comes time to replace.

The consistency of the serums quite rich and a little definitley goes a long way. One application My skin felt smooth and plumper. I apply mine straight after having a shower and cleansing my face. Its a good product to use after a shower when your skin has that 'tight' feeling.

The smell of the product is really pleasant so it gives you that feeling of having a little bit of luxury

I was lucky enough to receive these from Beauty Review to review. I love La Roche-Posay and regularly use their sunscreen so I was excited to try more of the skincare from this branch.

As you would expect the packaging is lovely. A blue glass bottle with a dropper to get the product. I found the dropper gave just the right amount of product for me to use.

Unfortunately what I didn’t like about this was the scent. I found it quite strong and a wee bit florally. I didn’t enjoy this product overall because of the scent as I found it even stung my eyes (no I didn’t get it in or near my eyes, just upper cheeks). However if you can get past this it is a lovely product. Very serum like and fluid application. I found my skin didn’t react to it and I enjoyed it.

I already use a hyaluronic with B5 from The Ordinary. It is very well priced and doesn’t have any scent at all. I will be repurchasing this as my skin loves it and it does what it should - which is to help hydrate your skin.

Really impressed so far.. you know how i can tell - when you accidentally swipe the wrong way on Instagram.. I am not met with shock and horror at the vision I am met with on the camera!!

Through lockdown I was a bit slack with some of my skincare routines - I tried to use up some old more natural based products etc and I also couldn't just walk into the store and grab a replacement so my skin was a clean slate for some testing.

The one thing I can rely on LRP for besides their usual blue and white packaging is that they have a range for most skin types and sensitive skin types! I rarely have to do patch tests with LRP as they are often developed for people with sensitive skin in mind.

So this is a dropper bottle and they haven't specified how much too use so I asked and 2-3 drops is all that's needed after cleansing, before moisturising in the PM and/or AM.

They say this is suitable for sensitive skin.. but also combination skin.. if you have acne I think they recommend trying a different range of theirs. I have combo skin and no acne so my skin was a perfect wee tester and soaked this up.

Its a clear runny gel like serum that you have to work quickly with to massage in as it is very easily absorbed. But it also isnt too runny - the dropper has a fairly large hole so it isn't thick but it also isn't too runny. I actually dont like the dropper too much you have to work quite fast but that is my only complaint!

It is quite perfumed but it doesn't last long on the skin and I also see the fragrance is a hypoallergenic fragrance so that's another plus. The ingredients list looks ok there is a small % alcohol but they have given good enough reason for this to be there when asked. I simply have not had great results from natural products that claim to do the equivalent so I generally do have to stick to wrinkle serums and creams that are less natural based.. sad but true for me. As with sensitive skin the choices are limited,

In terms of effectiveness I am not expecting a face lift in a jar but it is very good at delivering from a jar what they promise! I love they haven't stated reversal or wrinkles be gone etc they are very realistic! My skin appearance is not as shocking. My scold and frown lines are one huge indicator of this. They say fine lines look reduced , skin replumped, replenish skins moisture etc.... And it does this - it almost fills in the gaps and adds a moisture barrier that softens the look of lines and wrinkles. My skin is softer and I feel like my cell turnover has increased as its got more moisture and softness probably from being looked after.

Test it out at life pharmacy - they are really good with their range of testers now we are back at level 1.

Another winner LRP.

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.
