La Roche Posay Retinol

Firm, Smooth, and Refine with Confidence

Retinol is a gold standard in anti-ageing, but it can often be too harsh for sensitive skin. The La Roche Posay Retinol range changes that. Whether you choose the intensive Retinol B3 Serum or the targeted Redermic R creams, you are using a formula clinically proven to resurface the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles while maintaining optimal tolerance. Enriched with soothing ingredients like Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Thermal Spring Water, this collection helps you achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion without the "retinol burn".

Frequently Asked Questions: Retinol for Sensitive Skin

Is this retinol safe for my sensitive skin?

Yes. La Roche-Posay Retinol products are specifically tested on sensitive skin. The use of Gradual Release Retinol ensures the active ingredient is delivered in a controlled way, significantly reducing the risk of redness or stinging.

How should I start using Retinol?

If you are new to retinol, we recommend "sandwiching" it into your routine. Start by applying it 2–3 times per week at night, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always apply to clean, dry skin.

Can I use Retinol in the morning?

Retinol is best used at night as it can be degraded by sunlight. However, it also makes your skin more sensitive to UV rays. It is essential to apply a high SPF (like Anthelios UVMune 400) every single morning when using any retinol treatment.

What is the difference between Retinol B3 and Redermic R?

Retinol B3 is a multi-action serum that focuses on hydration (thanks to Vitamin B3) and overall skin repair alongside anti-ageing. Redermic R is a more traditional cream-based treatment focused specifically on resurfacing and deep wrinkles.
