Description

La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12 is an ultra-lightweight antioxidant serum that helps revive ageing skin, improving tone, radiance and health. Suitable for all types of ageing skin, including sensitive skin.

Key ingredients include pure Vitamin C renowned for its protective capabilities against environmental aggressors, whilst improving skin tone and texture. Salicylic Acid effectively penetrates pores helping to exfoliate and refine skin texture. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates the skin and retains skin moisture. Neurosensine & La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water targets skin irritations and deeply soothes the skin. Allergy tested. Non-comedogenic. Tested on sensitive skin under dermatological control. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12 is ideal if you are new to Vitamin C serums and are looking for a safe and effective concentrate to combat environmental stress.  It is also safe for sensitive skin to correct skin ageing, improve skin quality, and reveals the skin’s full radiance. Skin purging may occur after the first few applications, a sign of the ingredients working.

    Used for the first time today. I was surprised about the thick consistency (the ‘dropper’ doesn’t work well with the thick product) but felt good on my skin.

    Decent product for the price. Smells nice and absorbs well. I enjoyed the texture of my skin after using it in my routine and felt that it did help with evening out my pigmentation. It has a thick consistency which was difficult to get out of the bottle without wasting extra product. I would buy again.
