Meet the super serum delivering major radiance

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 Melaysl^TM, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, this dermatologist-backed serum works to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and scarring. It's so clever (thanks to the Melasyl^TM) 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.
