KEY INGREDIENTS:

Glycolic Acid: An Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) often considered the gold standard in dermatology for skin exfoliation. Within our formulas, it is recognized for its ability to increase skin surface cell turnover and help visibly improve skin tone and texture.
Kojic Acid: Derived from mushrooms, it is used in Glycolic B5 Serum to help visibly reduce skin discolorations.
Lipo-Hydroxy Acid: Also known as LHA, it's a derivative of salicylic acid, and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.
Tranexamic Acid (TXA): Recognized by dermatologists, this ingredient is used in Glycolic B5 Serum to help address the appearance of skin discolorations and the overall skin complexion.
Vitamin B5: Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a key ingredient used in some La Roche-Posay formulas to help the skin feel soothed and moisturized.
La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: A soothing water sourced in the town of La Roche-Posay in France and a core ingredient in most of our products. It contains a unique combination of minerals, trace elements, and a high concentration of selenium, a natural antioxidant.

DERMATOLOGIST INSIGHT


"Serums containing an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) help remove skin debris, oil and grease from skin pores, but may in turn increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Incorporating a daily sunscreen after applying an AHA-containing serum helps prevent sunburn and photosensitivity."

Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Hadley King

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from So light and it WORKS My favorite product because it has already lighten the discoloration I have around my lips. It is light and very fresh on the skin at night. Love love this product.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Glycolic Acid Serum really works! Had a rough brown patch on my face. This product completely removed it!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Diminishes the roughness and darkness of SK's This product smooths out my seborrhic keratosis areas (SK's), while not rated to do so I found it smooths and lightens them remarkably well. I'm able to ward off a new area that started by using this often. And it works well on the rest of my face, I use it along with the B3 Retinol Serum, truthfully it could be either one that does the job or both.

    Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointed I didn't really see a difference in my skin eventhough I used it with another LaRoche product.
    Date published: 2022-04-28
    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Nothing happening I’ve had this product about a month and been using it daily, I’m not seeing any changes of any kind.
    Date published: 2022-04-10
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bravo! This serum is wonderful. My question is about the future, after results are achieved, is there a recommended routine? Switch to every other night? Once per week? What happens if you stop usage?
    Date published: 2022-02-23
    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works Ok After using the product every other night, the dark area below eyes got lighter
    Date published: 2022-01-28
    Rated 3 out of 5 by from Works great, smells bad I like the serum the way it soaks into your skin. It really is reducing my dark spots. The smell to me is like nail polish remover and it is slightly brown colored. The expiration date is 06/24 so the product should be ok.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dark spots Great product it is really working with these dark spots
    Date published: 2021-12-26
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightens sun spots! I have been using this product for about a month and am thrilled that my face is smoother, softer, pores smaller and brown spots lighter. My skin tone has evened out. Finally a product that works!!
    Date published: 2021-12-18
    Rated 1 out of 5 by from No results in over a month I have been using this consistently for a little over a month now and haven’t seen any results:(
    Date published: 2021-11-10
    Rated 2 out of 5 by from Question Is it normal for the liquid to turn a brown color? I have been using it for a couple months and when first opened it Did not have a color. I like the product just concerned with the color change.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Glycolic acid without prescription. Excellent product to rid face of dark spots! Game changer!!!
    Date published: 2021-08-11
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from My skin has improved My skin has improved overall since using this serum at night. I love it! I believe it's even helped with my large pores and oily skin that became an issue with wearing masks all day for covid. I feel like it instantly goes to work as soon as it's applied. It's easy to apply and blend all over the face with the initial dollop unlike other products that absorb rather too quickly before you're able to get a good application, thus having to apply another and another...

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product just blasted This product just blasted away she spots without making my skin uncomfortable. Definitely suggest putting it on a night and wearing sunscreen. Very nice dropper and bottle, and in fact so good I gave some to my mom.

    Date published: 2021-07-25
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I have used several different brands of this. La Roche goes on very nicely and blends extremely well in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend!
    Date published: 2021-06-23
    Rated 3 out of 5 by from I haven’t really noticed I haven’t really noticed the biggest difference using this for my dark spots. I swapped for another (cheaper) product and have noticed a bigger difference than this.
    Date published: 2021-06-22
    Rated 1 out of 5 by from No works for me No works for me, my dark spots stay the same nothing change

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! I've continued to buy it. Love the way this works on the brown spots on my face's skin (not used around eyes not mouth).
    Date published: 2021-06-07
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from I was pleasantly surprised I was pleasantly surprised with this product! I am super self conscious about my pores, especially the ones on my nose and this product definitely helped keep them clean! I'm purchasing this again for the 2nd time and looking forward to using it again.
    Date published: 2021-06-02
    Rated 2 out of 5 by from I was fortunate enough I was fortunate enough to receive this as a complimentary trial. It was horrific in scent. I could not stomach it. I could not see / stand to be near it. I am not sure why they had to make this such a chemical smell. I couldn’t finish it. Thank you so much #Influenster appreciate the help and this awesome trial. Just wasn’t for me based on scent.
    Date published: 2021-06-02
    Rated 4 out of 5 by from I am a skeptic I am a skeptic when it comes to serums- especially since it seems like most of them do the same thing. I really liked the consistency of this serum and was happy with the results!
    Date published: 2021-06-01
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from It helped to minimize It helped to minimize dark spots that have been there for a while. This product is very effective and I would say everyone should at least try for their selves, you won't be disappointed.
    Date published: 2021-06-01
    Rated 3 out of 5 by from It’s good, but I’ve used better serums This serum is pretty tacky. And while that’s nice if you’re a daily makeup user, it just isn’t as emollient as I would like my serums to be. I have used better brands.
    Date published: 2021-05-28
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seriously works I used this every night for several weeks and it did amazing on my skin. I have extremely dark spots on my neck and you can see them visibly fading away. So glad that I was able to try this product out. I will definitely be buying this to keep in my nightly regimen. La Roche-Posay Glycolic B5 10% Pure Glycolic Acid Serum
