La Roche Posay® Hyalu B5 Serum Reviews

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this serum. I have been using serums as a part of my skincare routine for the past few years as I age into mature skin.

The Hyalu B5 Serum comes in a white box with a picture of the serum bottle on it. As with other La Roche Posay products, the description and instructions for the product are written on the outside in several languages, including braille. Its key ingredients are listed as “hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and madecassoside.” It claims to target “wrinkles, loss of volume and elasticity, tired and dull skin.” The serum itself comes in a 30ml blue glass bottle. Inside the box the serum has a white lid, and a dropper is enclosed in the box separately to the bottle. Instructions for using the serum are enclosed under the label on the back of the bottle. The instructions say to apply the serum in the morning and evening to the face, neck and décolleté. I usually only apply a face serum at night, but for the purposes of the trial I have been applying it in both the morning and evening.

I have applied the Hyalu B5 Serum twice a day since I received it. In the mornings and evenings I have applied 3 drops of the serum to my face: 1 on my forehead where I have the most fine lines, and 1 each on my checks, which I then massage down into my chin, neck and chest. I have then applied either my day cream or my night cream. The serum itself is clear and has nearly no scent. It is easy to apply to the face with the glass dropper. I love using droppers because they allow me to have a lot of control over the amount of product that I use. The serum absorbs well into the skin, although it leaves a slight tacky feeling. However, the upshot is that it makes a great primer for makeup. Since I have been using it I have noticed that my skin looks smoother and less creased. I have also been suffering from some skin scaling due to a little eczema. The serum has not irritated my skin at all. In fact it has helped it to heal faster. One of the ingredients it contains, madecassoside, apparently soothes irritated skin and helps with scaling.

Altogether, I am really enjoying using this serum. It is one of the best that I have tried. I will definitely continue to use it after the trial is over.

I grabbed this wee beauty from the vault, thanks BR! I love La Roche Posay products and they do wonders for my skin. This comes in a cute glass blue bottle with a dropper, I absolutely love the packaging!

It is a clear, semi thick consistency. It has a floral smell but not overpowering, I have sensitive skin and get no stinging or irritation at all.  I use about 4 drops on my face, a little definitely goes a long way with this. I cleanse then use a spray toner and make sure my face is still damp before applying. It dries down fast, I was using too much to start and it was leaving my skin feeling tacky, so if this is happening then use less!

This stuff is amazing! It makes my skin feel super soft with a healthy glow.  It doesn't break me out at all. I have fine lines on my forehead and they have definitely softened.  After only a few days of use I noticed my skin just looked so fresh and plump! I get dry skin and this makes it so hydrated.

The price is a bit on the steep side but it really is that good and makes my skin look and feel amazing, so I would definitely spend my money on this. Give it a try!

Another gorgeous product from La Roche-Posay. I’d been eyeing up this serum but wasn’t sure about spending $70 on it. I’m still not sure it’s quite worth the price when there are other serums around for far less which I love almost as much. I say almost, because this one has some huge advantages over the others. Not only is it a gorgeous gel that feels velvety and smells delicate and expensive, but you don’t need a lot. In the last couple of weeks of use, I have barely used maybe an 8th of the bottle. And, the best part of all, it has an instant plumping effect. After I apply it, my skin texture looks more even, fine lines seem less, and my skin is plump and healthy looking. I have found that I am still requiring a moisturiser at least at night as my skin was a little dry with the serum alone, but it feels so decadent in doing so, and gives my skin an extra boost and glow. This is also excellent with the Vitamin B5 for acne or hormonal spots. La Roche-Posay is my fav favourite skin care brand, and this product has lived up to my expectations.

I am ADDICTED to La Roche-Posay skin care - ever since BR opened my eyes to the brand, I just can't get enough!

The Hyalu B5 serum is no different. It's a powerhouse product in a simple, prescriptive bottle.

The packaging is classic LRP - blue and white. I like the touch of using blue glass, it looks modern and classy. The dropper lid works well, I find one 'squeeze and fill' works well for my face and next.

This product instantly smooths the skin - its non greasy and what I'd describe as a dry oil.

It has a scent and I just can't place it - I've been trying to work out where I know the scent from, but so far, no luck. Regardless its quite a fresh, unisex scent.

I've been using this for about 10 days now, and I'm really enjoying it. My skin feels more supple, and I find my other products go on much more smoothly too. I think this would make a fab addition to any regime where the skin needs fast hydration. It's also the perfect introduction to serums for those looking to up their skin care routine.

This is a fantastic serum and will now be my go-to serum that I use morning and night. A little goes a long way. It soaks into the skin really easily and has a light, refreshing scent to it. It worked under my make up well, but there were also days where I ended up having a make up free day as this really makes your skin glow and this serum followed by some SPF was all I needed. I noticed over the few weeks that I was using this serum twice a day, that my skin did look plumper and healthier. You could see a noticeable difference. So this really works while still being gentle on the skin. I love it!

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.

Comes in a dinky blue bottle with a stopper, which dispenses just the right amount. I loved this serum and I definitely noticed a difference after a weeks use. My skin was hydrated and glowing even without make up and I had several comments on how great it looked. I used it at night under my night cream but also several times as an extra moisture boost during the day. It is not overly fragranced which I liked. This has been first time trying this brand, but not the last. I’ll definitely be repurchasing when this runs out.

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 was super excited when the La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Serum landed on my doorstep because I am a big fan of this brand. It comes in a cute little blue bottle, and has a dropper type applicator making it extremely easy to use. It spread nicely into my skin and didn’t leave my wrinkly areas feeling sticky. I definitely noticed a difference in the texture of my skin from the first use, and my fine lines are less noticeable. My frown lines have also been less obvious thanks to the serum’s plumping effect. With this product a little goes a long way which makes it excellent value for money. The La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 Serum has been a welcome addition to my daily skincare regime.
