The product

Ladies and gentlemen, listen up, because we've got a brand new skin care secret to spill, and it pretty well ensures seriously glossy, glowy skin. Now that we've got your undivided attention, we can let you in on all the incredible, skin-boosting benefits. And it's all thanks to the La Roche-Posay MELA B3 Niacinamide Serum

Formulated with MelayslTM, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, this dermatologist-backed serum works to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and scarring. It's so clever (thanks to the MelasylTM) that it actually works to prevent future skin tone imperfections. Incredible right? Not to mention the oil-controlling properties niacinamide posseses, paired with the ultra-hydrating powers of hyaluronic acid - what a formula.

Well, it turns out, this serum has actually been a seriously long time in the making. With 18 long years of research and hundreds of thousands of molecules tested, this serum has come out on top as a one-of-a-kind ally in creating an even skin tone. 

So, let's see what our members had to say about the skin-perfecting, hydrating serum...

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the La Roche-Posay MELA B3 Niacinamide Serum to a panel of women aged 24-35 dealing with dark spots and/or post-blemish pigmentation and scarring. 

The lowdown:

The skin-brightening effects: Okay, we get it, a serum that's designed to reduce the appearance of dark spots is definitely going to be leaving your skin looking a whole lot more radiant. But our REVIEWcrew members really loved how their skin was left looking. And who wouldn't want a brighter, more even skin texture? Sign us up.

The ultra-hydrating formula: If there's one skin care aspect we need everyone on board with, it's hydration. Thankfully, our members could see the hydrating effects this serum was leaving on their skin. Because when your skin is feeling hydrated, we promise your complexion ends up looking 12/10 glowy — which is always the goal, right?

The easy-to-apply texture: If you're someone that finds applying serums can end up being a little hit or miss based on the texture (and absorption rate), then we're here to tell you this gel-like serum is the one. Our members found the texture both thick and lightweight at the same time (as it felt plenty nourishing, but still not heavy). In fact, they enjoyed how well it sunk into their skin.

This is a great product! I have a decent amount of pigmentation on my face from previous acne. I have used other skin care products in the past, however, none have worked as well as this one! My skin can be sensitive, yet I had no redness, itch, or any irritation from using it. Using the product consistently really seemed to make a difference, and I feel like that is the key element. My skin looks much brighter overall and the I find that the pigmentation has definitely faded. Anyone with similar skin issues should for sure try this product out, it'll really help!

I have loved this product so much! I have been using morning and night daily for 12 weeks now. I have replaced my morning vitamin C with this product. I have quite a few dark spots from sun damage on my face and was eager to see how this product would help with them. Overall I am very impressed. It is a product you need to use consistently to see results, but this serum gets you there. I can definitely notice improvement on my dark spots, and my skin tone is more even overall. The thing I love most about this serum though is how bright my skin looked! My skin is so glowy and hydrated. The serum itself feels very nice applied to the skin. It does not take long to absorb in to the skin and it sits nicely under makeup. I did not get any irritation from using this serum. I will definitely be repurchasing this serum!

I love it so much I've already purchased my second bottle! I get monthly pimples here and there, and this has kept my skin looking so gorgeously clear and bright! My skin is looking absolutely beautiful I have been thoroughly impressed! The serum is light, spreads over the skin and easy to apply, absorbs into the skin nicely with no residue. I've tried a few niacinamide products and found they've either irritated my skin, or caused more breakouts. But this has absolutely restored my opinion and experience of niacinamide. Highly recommend!!
