The Best Anti-Ageing Serums by La Roche-Posay
Choosing the right anti-ageing serum can transform your skincare routine, offering targeted solutions to specific concerns and helping to maintain a youthful-looking glow. Serums, with their concentrated formulas, can deliver real, visible results, making them an essential component for anyone serious about skincare. Whether you're experiencing fine lines, wrinkles, or a lack of radiance, the right serum can make all the difference.
In this guide, we'll delve into La Roche-Posay's esteemed collection of anti-ageing serums, highlighting the top performers that deserve a spot in your daily skincare regimen. Read on to unlock the secret to a more youthful, vibrant looking complexion with the best anti-ageing serums tailored for your skincare needs.
The Power of Anti-Ageing Serums
Due to their low molecular weight, a serum can deliver active ingredients – such as vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid - in high potencies to the deepest surface layers of the skin (stratum corneum). This is what makes serums incredibly effective at helping you achieve your anti-ageing skincare goals.
La Roche-Posay has a range of anti-ageing serums to help target several concerns - from skin rejuvenation, helping to reduce discoloration, and improving and preventing premature signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. What’s more, when combined correctly, certain serums can be used safely together to target multiple concerns at once. For instance, serums containing more potent ingredients such as glycolic acid or retinol, pair well with moisturizing barrier-protecting serums that contain nourishing ingredients such as niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. They can even help the skin to tolerate active ingredients better.
Targeting Wrinkles with La Roche-Posay's Eye Serums
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes are a common concern that many people wish to target. A dedicated eye serum is a very effective and non-invasive option that delivers active ingredients to the delicate eye area.
If your delicate eye area often becomes dehydrated with fine lines and wrinkles, a very hydrating eye serum such as Hyalu B5 Eyes Serum can be very effective. It contains vitamin B5 to help strengthen the skin barrier function, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, re-plump and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Choosing the Ideal Anti-Aging Serum for Your Needs
- Identify Your Skin Concerns: Begin by pinpointing your main ageing concerns, such as the appearance of fine lines, deeper wrinkles, loss of firmness, or uneven skin tone. Different serums target different issues, so knowing what you want to address will narrow down your choices.
- Understand Serum Ingredients: Look for key ingredients known for their anti-ageing properties. For example, retinol can help target wrinkles and improve skin texture; vitamin C brightens and evens out skin tone; and hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the appearance of the skin.
- Consider Your Skin Type: Choose a serum that complements your skin type. If you have dry skin, look for hydrating ingredients. Oily or blemish-prone skin? Opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula.
- Be Mindful of Sensitivities: If your skin is sensitive, seek out serums with soothing ingredients and avoid those with potential irritants like high concentrations of acids.
- Combine Serums for Comprehensive Care: Don’t hesitate to layer serums for a tailored anti-ageing routine. For instance, you might use a vitamin C serum in the morning for its antioxidant properties and a retinol serum at night for its cell surface renewal properties.
By considering your individual skin concerns, type, and sensitivities, along with understanding the specific benefits of each serum, you can create an effective, personalised anti-ageing skincare routine.
Introducing the Best Anti-Aging Serums by La Roche-Posay
Not sure which La Roche-Posay serum is right for you? Discover four of our favourite hero formulas.
Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum
If you haven’t used a serum before or want to begin gently, La Roche-Posay’s Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a great place to start. Gentle and super hydrating, it helps to effectively plump the surface of the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Overall, it also improves the skin’s hydration and texture with two different sized molecules of its key ingredient: hyaluronic acid, a natural humectant that can hold over 1,000 times its own weight in water. The larger molecule works on the surface of the skin to re-plump the skin and reduce wrinkles while the smaller molecule penetrates more deeply to help improve skin volume. You can use this serum alone or layered with other serums in your routine such as vitamin C in the day or retinol or glycolic acid serums in the evening.
Dermatologist Recommended
“I highly recommend Hyalu B5. It’s a unique formula, containing both high and low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid and 5% Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), improves skin hydration and elasticity, and helps to soothe and repair the skin barrier function.”
- Dr Zainab Laftah, Consultant Dermatologist
Pure Vitamin C Serum
There are many benefits to adding a vitamin C serum to your skincare routine, and La Roche-Posay’s Pure Vitamin C12 serum is also formulated for sensitive skin. This makes it a great option if you’ve previously found vitamin C too irritating or are using an antioxidant for the first time. Its formula contains a pure form of vitamin C (otherwise known as L-ascorbic acid) that’s considered a gold standard for consumers and dermatologists. When applied topically, Vitamin C is known to help improve dullness, glow, elasticity and collagen production. It also contains salicylic acid at an active level that exfoliates the surface of the skin while eliminating dead skin cells. This is added at a potency that remains suitable for sensitive skin.
0.3% Retinol + Vitamin B3 Serum
Retinol is one of the most effective anti-ageing solutions for anyone wanting to improve ageing signs or an uneven skin texture, but some stronger potencies can be irritating on sensitive skin. The good news is that modern-day solutions such as La Roche-Posay’s 0.3% Retinol + Vitamin B3 Serum are formulated to fight the visible signs of ageing while caring for the needs of sensitive skin. This is due to the addition of vitamin B3, a soothing agent that helps to keep the skin soft, plump, and supple by improving moisture retention. Glycerin also helps to restore the skin’s moisture barrier and deliver intense hydration.
Mela B3 Intense Anti-Dark Spot Serum
When trying to address a concern such as dark spots, you should opt for a serum formulated specifically for it such as La Roche-Posay’s Mela B3 Intense Anti-Dark Sport Serum. Co-developed with leading dermatologists, this serum corrects the appearance of dark spots with multi-patented Melasyl™ - an ingredient that acts as an active melanin trapper to intercept excess melanin before it marks the surface of the skin. It also contains 10% Niacinamide (also known as Vitamin B3) to target the appearance of existing hyperpigmentation while soothing the skin and strengthening the skin barrier.

Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum
“This product has been my biggest go-to when adding moisture and health back into my skin! I have PCOS and often after breakouts my skin can feel really dry and dull. This serum immediately fixes that issue and leaves my skin feeling so plump, hydrated and glowy. Wouldn’t use anything else!”
Pure Vitamin C10 Serum for Sensitive Skin
“I was a little cautious to start using this serum with Vitamin C as it had caused me skin irritation in the past. I was very happy and relieved that the new serum hasn't irritated my skin! On the contrary, my skin gladly welcomed such a treat. Having used this serum for a few weeks, I can see that my blemish-prone skin is clearer now. My skin also looks radiant and glowing. It feels smooth, soft and taut, and my pores are tightened”.
