La Roche Posay® Pure Niacinamide 10 Serum

This serum is wonderful! I am grateful to receive a spot on this trial team and to put this product to the test. It honestly did not disappoint.

I have lots of dark patches on my face, uneven skin tone and my skin is always dull. I have tried for many years to fix my skin tone and get rid of dark spots but nothing has worked or even come close.

This serum has changed my complexion. My dark spots are almost nonexistent, my skin looks bright and healthy and I have seen such an improvement in my uneven skin tone. I use it in the morning and at night and it has worked so well!

I couldn't be any happier with the results. This serum retails for $74.99 depending on where you purchase it from and it's worth every cent. A little goes a long way so I have a feeling it's going to last a long time.

It's a fabulous wee serum and it really does what it says. It has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine.

After a few weeks of use this has grown to be my favourite niacinamide I have tried. The fourmula of the product is amazing. It soaks into your skin easily and feels very refreshing as well. It doesn’t dry sticky, which I have experienced with another popular brand of niacinamide. In the few weeks of use I have definitely noticed my skin looking and feeling more smooth, brighter and more of an even tone. With long term use I hope it would help further reduce a little more of some of the hyper pigmentation on my face. This produce does have a scent to it, not overly a bad scent but if you are sensitive to certain smells you may find it a bit too much.

The only down fall is the dropper, it’s very large and hard to control the amount of product you are putting on your face so I feel that could lead to some product wastage over time.

Ok, so I grew to really love this serum in the time I used it! I'm a busy person, so I usually have a pretty quick skincare routine (ie cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen) and I need to really enjoy a product to consistently add another step to my routine.

Initially I found the texture a little unusual, it is quite thick (described as a water-gel texture) and it takes a good squeeze on the dropper to get it into the dispenser. It's not like any other serum that I've tried before. Once on your face, it absorbs into the skin SO quickly and doesn't leave any kind of sticky or oily residue. You are definitely left with a lovely, dewy glow (so if you're not keen on that look for your day, definitely pop some powder foundation / translucent powder over your moisturiser).

I was really impressed with how immediately and visibly my skin was hydrated, it looked plumped and well moisturised after the first use. I'm reminded every morning that I use it, how lovely it makes your skin look and feel!

I was also really interested in its claims around smoothing texture and wrinkles. I don't have significant wrinkles, but I do have textured skin and large pores around my nose, cheeks and forehead. I have been consistently impressed with the way this serum smooths the skin, each time I've used it. While I haven't noticed a huge reduction in pore size, what I have noticed is that the immediate hydration boost smooths out texture and dryness at the time of application. This significantly improved the way makeup sat on my face. When applying foundation (both powder and liquid) my pores and texture were significantly less noticeable. The foundation did not sink into, or highlight pores the way it has done in the past.

A side note: I did notice, in the beginning, that it caused a little congestion in my skin. I think this was user error, more than the product! I reduced the amount of serum that I was using and the congestion cleared up pretty quickly. So if you find this happens, reduce the amount of drops that you use.

Overall, I was really impressed with this product and I will probably replace it when this bottle is finished. It consistently left my skin feeling and looking plump, supple and hydrated, my complexion looked bright and healthy, texture / noticeable pores were greatly reduced and I regularly reach for it in my skincare routine. It's definitely my new favourite skincare product!

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

This serum quite frankly, feels luxurious on your skin. It comes in a little purple bottle with a separate eyedropper – unfortunately said eyedropper got broken before I got to use it – so I just spread a little across two fingers to try and emulate the number of drops I needed.

It’s a sort of pearlescent light purple, with a slight scent that’s not detectable on your skin. It’s not an incredibly thick serum and feels quite light. After using at night, my skin was hydrated enough by morning I felt I didn’t need an additional evening moisturiser on top. It also sits nicely under makeup and sunscreen – and my sunscreen didn’t leave me feeling like a greasy mess like it normally does.

I do feel this has made my skin noticeably smoother especially on my forehead and maybe even minimised some fine lines and wrinkles. It has also brightened my complexion. My sensitive skin has not reacted in any way to this serum which is a major bonus.

I’ve used this for a few weeks and there’s still approximately 3/4 left in the bottle so while expensive, it seems quite economical so this will be something I will definitely consider repurchasing.

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 loveeeddd this product! First time using niacinamide and I loved it! Upon an opening, it has an amazing smell. I haven’t smelt anything like it before.it went onto my skin like silk, made it really soft and I could tell it made my skin appear clearer. I don’t have any dark spots so I can’t comment on that effect. I used it every 3 or so days and it was great.

This is my first time using niacinamide and I’m very impressed it cleared my skin within weeks. I’ve tried everything to clear my skin and this seems to be the only thing that’s worked for me. I really love this and will continue to re purchase

I was super lucky and was on the trial team for this serum. I have been using this serum for nearly a month now and I can confirm it is a product I will purchase and continue to use. Firstly the feel of it on the skin is amazing. It's a silky smooth texture and rubs in and absorbs so well leaving my skin with a slight glow and hydrated look. I also think it had helped with my fine lines around my eye area since its hydrating, they don't look quite as prominent. I do have hyperpigmentation from pregnancy and I thought this may help as it claims to help with darker spots. The pigmention may be slighter lighter and even a couple spots from acne scarring. It does say you need to be using it for atleast 4 weeks and constant use to see the dark spots reduce so time will tell if it does continue to help reduce the darker spots of hyperpigmentation but I do think it has helped a wee bit. The serum comes in a 30ml bottle with a eye dropper applicator. The eye dropped I feel isn't quite the best, it's quite wide compared to the bottle opening so when placing it back into the bottle it is easy to rub the dropper along the opening of the bottle which leaving it round the rim which can waste it. Also the dropper doesn't always pick up a consistent amount. I really have enjoyed trialling this product and definitely will repurchase. I love the way it gives my skin a healthy hydrated glow and feels so amazing on.

I have been using the Niacinamide 10 serum once a day for about 2 weeks now. I have been using it in the morning after cleansing, followed by my moisturiser and spf.

I’ll start with the one thing I find annoying about this product and that’s the packaging. The pipette is wide and the tip of it is the same width, usually droppers will taper down to a nice point. This meant that if there was any product on the outside of the tube when you put it back in the bottle, it would drip down the lip and make a mess. Apart from that it’s nice weighty glass fine overall.

Onto the actual product. My skin is definitely looking nice. I was talking to a friend on FaceTime who I hadn’t seen in a while and she even mentioned ‘your skin is looking really good and glowy’ so I’ll take that as a win! I have also been rubbing the excess into the backs of my hands which has been nice.

I feel like my skin is less red too which is definitely a bonus. I really like the formulation and will repurchase this product in future!
