DERMATOLOGIST REVIEW

What Dr. Baumann Says

This exfoliating dark spot treatment can help spots go away fast if combined with retinol and sunscreen. If this is too strong to use twice a day, use this at night and use a different skin lightening serum in the am that does not contain glycolic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much glycolic acid is in La Roche-Posay Glycolic B5 Serum?

It has 10% glycolic acid.

Why is La Roche-Posay Glycolic B5 Serum better for oily skin types?

It does not have many moisturizing ingredients which makes it light and ideal for oily skin types. If you have dry skin and want to use this, follow it with a barrier repair moisturizer.

How to use La Roche-Posay Glycolic B5 Serum?

If you have resistant skin, apply to entire face once or twice a day. If you get red or irritated, decrease the number of times that you use it. If you have sensitive skin, start by using to the spots only one time a day. After 3 days if you have not had any irritation, you can use it 2 times a day. Note that combining it with retinol, tretinoin, adapalene or hyaluronic acid will increase the potency and risk of side effects.
