La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum - 30ml

For optimal results, apply the serum daily, both in the morning and/or evening, after cleansing and before moisturising.

Yes, the Mela B3 Serum is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have very reactive skin, we recommend performing a patch test before full facial application.

Individual results may vary, but clinical studies showed a significant reduction in dark spots after 12 weeks of consistent use. You may start noticing improvements in skin radiance and newer dark spots fading within 4-8 weeks.

Absolutely. Daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is crucial, especially when using products that target hyperpigmentation and contain exfoliating ingredients like Retinol and LHA. Sun protection prevents new dark spots and protects treated areas.

Melasyl™ is a new, multi-patented active ingredient co-developed by La Roche-Posay with leading dermatologists. It is specifically designed to target the precursors of melanin to help reduce the appearance of existing dark spots and prevent future discolouration.

Generally, yes, but it's recommended to introduce new active ingredients gradually. You could use Vitamin C in the morning and Mela B3 Serum in the evening, or alternate days, to avoid potential irritation. Always observe your skin's reaction.

Due to the presence of Retinol in the formulation, it is generally recommended to consult your doctor or a healthcare professional before using products containing retinoids during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

This can sometimes occur when introducing new active ingredients. Reduce application frequency to every other day or once a day, and ensure your skin is well-hydrated. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.

Hyperpigmentation takes time to fade. Clinical studies show significant reduction after 12 weeks of consistent use. Ensure you are applying daily and diligently using a high SPF sunscreen to prevent new spots and protect treated areas. Be patient and consistent.

Ensure your skin is fully dry before applying the serum. Try using a slightly smaller amount of product. Allow the serum a few moments to fully absorb before applying subsequent products.

Sometimes, as the skin exfoliates, underlying pigmentation can appear more prominent before fading. This is often temporary. Continue consistent use and strict SPF application. If concerned, consult a dermatologist.
