La Roche-Posay serums are some of our favourites for treating everything from dehydration to skin sensitivity. Now, after some serious sales detective work, we’ve spotted a reduction on one of the brand’s hyperpigmentation bestsellers – the melaB3 serum (was £48, now £38.40, Lookfantastic.com) – and as it happens, it comes IndyBest approved, too.
Using an ingredient that’s been trademarked by the La Roche-Posay, the melaB3 serum’s distinctive ‘melasyl’ component works to stop melanin in its tracks before it begins to accelerate the uneven production of coloured pigment. This, together with niacinamide to brighten, hyaluronic acid and glycerin to hydrate, and a salicylic acid-like sibling (capryloyl salicylic acid) to ease irritation make for the ultimate skin treatment for an all-round smoother complexion.
