Mela B3 Serum, Dark Spot Corrector with Anti-Aging Melasyl + 10% Niacinamide, Discoloration Correcting Serum for Sun Spots, Age Spots & Post-Acne Marks

Magical. I recently saw a dermatologist regarding my middle aged face. She sent me out the door with a few samples of this and a few samples of sunscreens. Loved them all. But this. Wow. If you are treating your skin with prescriptions that cause redness or dryness but you must push through to see the results you want- use this too! Cicaplast B5 and this magical serum will have your skin feeling soft, smooth, moisturized and a whole lot happier. Initially, smoothing this into my skin feels luxurious and lovely. The serum moves easily, absorbs and feels hydrating. Immediately, my skin is happier. It’s even happier 20 minutes later. I put this on while getting ready for bed and in the morning after washing my face. 1 week in and I think there is a visible difference. I am using four new products on my face to help with the case of Getting Old and this is one of them. Cicaplast B5, a sunscreen and face wash- from this brand, La Roche-Posay. I never tried them till the dermatologist recommended and this brand seems fantastic. The dermatologist I saw was younger than me but her skin was amazing. She glowed and her skin was translucent and utterly blemish free. I was listening to everything she said and La Roche-Posay was her favorite brand for herself and to recommend. What else does she do to keep her skin supple and radiant? I should have asked! My skin has improved and I am buying another bottle for a friend and probably for my Mother. I do have sensitive skin (Oil of Olay moisturizer used to turn my face red and burn like fire). La Roche Posay products have been excellent and irritant free. Recommended! Try it. It’s good. (I have tried Chanel’s La Blanc line. Lancome. Philosophy. Murad. I like the La Blanc face wash and everything Shiseido. Everything else was forgettable and ineffective.) The La Roche Posay products I have used make me curious to try more of their products.

Have been using this on my dark spots for just a few weeks can see noticeable fading. I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked. Can’t wait to see more results.

Definitely worth the money. Was skeptical of all the high praise for this product but it worked on my sensitive face. Dark spots from pimples/bumps/cuts have gone down. Face looks cleaner/ fairer. I also use Tretinoin with this so seems both products working well together. Definitely recommended for pigmented, sensitive skin with damaged barrier. And yes, a little goes a long way. Always spot test before use. Start small no matter what!

Great product! I’ve been using it consistently and it feels lightweight and absorbs quickly. My skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even over time. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and I would definitely recommend it.

Dermatoligist recommend, so I've been using for a few weeks two times a day. I haven't really noticed much, maybe a little lighter dark spots, that's why only 4 stars. It doesn't irritate my skin, not itchy or sticky. Just a few drops and it absorbs quickly. It does not protect against the sun or moisturize so after applying Mela B3 to clean skin you will need to apply moisturizer and sun screen, just as well because I like my brand now. I will continue to use it to 1-see if dark spots will lighten as promised and 2-to keep new ones from appearing. Update its 2 months later and I have noticed the dark spots getting lighter, less noticeable, not gone, but easier to cover with concealer. It works best on the newer and lighter ones.

UPDATED REVIEW AT THE BOTTOM. I’ve used La Roche-Posay products for many years, so I’m very familiar with how they normally smell. I purchased the Mela B3 Serum, the Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and the Anthelios Sunscreen SPF 40 during Prime Day (jun2026) to save some money. The Hyalu B5 Serum smells normal (as I’m used to), but both the Mela B3 Serum and the Anthelios Sunscreen SPF 40 have an extremely terrible odor. The serum was really weird smell and it had some product around the rim of the bottle, I thought it was weird but said maybe in manufacturing, and I knew this is NOT how they should smell. This is applied to your face, there’s no escaping the smell, and I had to wash my face to remove it. It’s honestly the worst-smelling skincare product I’ve ever used. This doesn’t seem normal based on my experience with La Roche-Posay products. It makes me wonder if these products are old, improperly stored, or somehow altered. Something definitely seems off. I was expecting the quality I’ve always received from this brand, but this experience was very disappointing. I will not buy this products in Amazon ever again. UPDATE: I told myself, “It’s just the smell, maybe I’ll give it a try anyway.” I couldn’t have been more wrong. This caused the worst skin reaction I’ve ever experienced. I developed an allergic reaction that has now lasted for five days. At first, I convinced myself that maybe I have sensitive skin (which I don’t) and I had applied too much product, so I stopped using it immediately. Since then, I’ve tried everything to calm the reaction, including over-the-counter allergy creams, but nothing has helped. Nothing worked, absolutely nothing. They have improved a little bit but I still have the same bumps, along with itching on my face. I’m not sure whether this formula is too harsh for my skin or if I received an altered or counterfeit product, but based on my experience, I can’t recommend it.

It is great for lightening age spots or sun related areas on the face & arms. Goes on easily & absorbs into the skin. It also soften & makes the skin look better with regular use.

First bottle was working slowly on dark spot, but second one doesn’t work. No more lighting 😕. . I used it after La Roche gel cleanser clarifying micro - peeling. Non greasy and no skin irritation

Ich war vor drei Wochen beim Hautarzt, da mich ein knapp pfenniggroßer (die waren kleiner als Cent, oder?), mittelbrauner Pigmentfleck mitten auf meiner linken Wange störte. Wenn ich ihn abdeckte, kam er doch immer auch wieder nach kurzer Zeit durch. Die Ärztin bestätigte meine Vermutung, dass Hautpflegemittel da nichts ausrichten können. Termin für November vereinbart zum lasern. Vor ein paar Tagen überlegte ich, es doch mit einem Serum zu probieren und stieß durch Recherche auf dieses Fluid. Ich hatte nichts zu verlieren außer einige Euro und Bereicherung meines Kontos Lebenserfahrung, sodass ich bestellte. Am Montag angekommen, bereits am Mittwoch konnte ich kaum glauben, wieviel heller er schon war und jetzt am Samstag so aufgehellt, dass ich den Lasertermin absagen werde. Das übertrifft meine Erwartungen bei weitem! Mir ist klar, dass das vielleicht nicht bei jedem so wirken wird und ich möchte auch keine falschen Hoffnungen wecken, aber für mich ist das Serum sensationell. Leider habe ich keine Vorher-Nachher Fotos gemacht, da ich ehrlich gesagt, mit beschränkten Erwartungen an den Versuch gegangen bin, Ihr müsst mir also blind glauben. Ich bin übrigens 66 Jahre alt, es handelt sich also um einen 'Altersfleck'.

Bence orijinal amazon gönderici satıcılı dan alın kokusu güzel rengi açık şeftalı pembe arası, ben cildiye doktorumun tedavi planı için aldım içindeki melasyl in alternatifi muadili ürün yok maalesef diğer bileşen zaten niacinamide henüz üç haftadır kullanıyorum net bi etki görmedim tüm yaz devam

The product lasted me over two months using it twice a day. It did improve the texture of my skin making it look a lot softer! I think it contributed to reducing my pores. It didn't help that much to remove small areas of melasma, but I guess I will need a stronger product for it. I would say it is worth to buy but I also think there's other brands out there you can get for less and gives you the same result. If I can get it with discount I will get if again for sure!!

肌のきめが整い、透明感が出て来たように感じます。値段ははりますが買ってよかったです。

Compré este producto en octubre del 2025 y lo he vuelto a comprar (aunque esta vez me llegó chafado). Pongo cinco estrellas porque el producto las merece. Pero añado las imágenes de cómo me ha llegado esta vez. En fin, la dermatóloga me recomendó este sérum en concreto porque después del verano tenía manchas solares en el rostro. Y porque la Niacinamida tiene más propiedades de lo que creemos: Despigmentante, poros, rojeces Después de tres meses y medio utilizando este sérum, las manchitas se han difuminado más o menos en un 50%. Puede parecer poco, pero hay que tener en cuenta que comencé a aplicármelo poco a poco, porque este sérum contiene un 10% de Niacinamida, que es bastante si no estás acostumbrada... aunque haya despigmentantes más potentes. Comencé 1-2 noches por semana, y ahora me lo aplico 3-4. Incluso lo combino con el limpiador. ¡Voy subiendo en intensidad antes de que llegue el verano! Por qué me gusta 1. La Niacinamida es un componente que ahora incluyen muchos productos. Es despigmentante, antioxidante, actúa sobre el sebo y los poros, refuerza la barrera cutánea, actúa sobre las rojeces... Yo combino o alterno este sérum con Vitamina C y Retinol. Funcionan de manera distinta 2. Otra razón por la que me gusta este sérum es por su segundo componente, el Melasyl. Este es un activo patentado por L'Oréal y lo veréis en otros productos que parecen otras marcas pero pertenecen a L'Oréal, como por ejemplo, Vichy. Lo que hace el Melasyl, dicho así en bruto y sin entrar en tecnicismos es que no inhibe la producción de melanina, sino que evita que se formen manchas. Si utilizáis despigmentantes, sabréis que hay muchos activos que son más potentes, como el ácido kójico, azelaico etc. Estos inhiben directamente la producción de la melanina. El Melasyl, que tiene muchas búsquedas en Internet, dicen que es una de las moléculas eficaces para despigmentación y prevenir manchas. ¡Veremos lo de prevenir! 3. Incluye más componentes, como por ejemplo, un derivado del ácido salicílico, que es más suave que el ácido salicílico y cuya función es exfoliar suavemente, mejorar textura de la piel y complementarse con la Niacimamida y el Melasyl. 4. También incluye un retinoide suave, para mejorar la textura de la piel poco a poco y mantener la piel joven y elástica. 5. Y como no, también contiene agua termal. ¡Un clásico de La Roche Posay que calma la piel! En definitiva, es un sérum muy completo que puede aplicarse tanto de día como de noche y que no sólo elimina manchas, también las previene y mejora el estado de la piel. Con este frío, noto mucho los días en que no me aplico el sérum. Qué no me ha gustado: Como ya he comentado al principio, la caja vino chafada, como si alguien la hubiese abierto. Y además, el producto viene bocabajo. Parece más una devolución de alguien que lo ha vuelto a meter torpemente en la caja que un producto nuevo. Es la primera vez que me sucede y espero que la última. No se puede entregar un producto así, y menos un producto de cuidado de la piel. Es más, no quiero que me lo cambien. Directamente, me iré a la farmacia. Incluyo fotos del producto bueno, que se me está agotando, y fotos del producto "nuevo" que me ha llegado.
