"La Roche-Posay's Retinol B3 with niacinamide's another great serum to consider. It has its famous thermal spring water, which is full of great anti-inflammatory minerals, very soothing for the skin, and also hydrating. So, great for those with rosacea because it has the niacinamide in it, and it has barrier support from the thermal spring water."

"If it's from L'Oreal, the retinol has good science behind it. L'Oreal brands like La Roche-Posay, their retinols are going to be well formulated."

"This is a slow release retinol serum designed for sensitive and rosacea prone skin combining the retinol with niacinamide and then these hydrating ingredients to strengthen the skin barrier and minimize irritation. The key ingredient here is the pure retinol, it's a vitamin A derivative that promotes surface cell turnover, reduces fine lines, improves the skin texture. This also has the niacinamide which calms down the redness and restores the skin moisture barrier, also helps with discoloration that's caused by inflammation. This also contains glycerin, which is a great humectant that attracts and retains water ensuring optimal hydration, gives you a little bit of plumpness to the skin. And then of course the La Roche-Posay thermal spring water which contains minerals and selenium which provide the antioxidant protection and help soothe irritation."

"There's a variety of retinols. If you start over the counter, there's La Roche-Posay, they have really good retinols. They're going to be the mildest category retinol. Really the brand on the front doesn't matter as much as the active ingredient."

"Low concentration of retinol, not many other peptides in there, which is quite disappointing. I don't like hybrid stuff, you're either a serum or you're a cream, can't be doing a hybrid thing. The ingredients are definitely a step up from the retinol cream and I do like what they've included, including vitamin B3. But it loses a lot of points on the hybrid. It's a hybrid fail."

Radiant Skin Unveiled: Dr. Somji & Dr. Solomon Review La Roche-Posay Retinol + B3 Serum Benefits!

"I think this is too creamy and I think it almost cancels out or certainly significantly reduces the benefits of a serum. They've added things like soy oil and soybean oil, silicone, it's retinol palmitate so it's nothing too strong. There was a strong fragrance there, the perfume, and for retinol I'm adding perfumes it's never a good idea in my opinion because it would just be a hot bed of sensitivities. There's also denatured alcohol in there which is a big sensitizer of the skin, it'll make your skin really sensitive and with repeated use, and people love retinol and they use this a lot so it's a little bit disappointing that they decided to do this. Low concentration of retinol, not many other peptides in there which is quite disappointing. I don't like hybrid stuff, you're either serum or you're cream, can't be doing a hybrid."

"Their retinol I found to be super irritating, full of fragrance. La Roche-Posay has a lot of amazing stuff, but they also have a handful of stuff that my skin did not tolerate well, and a lot of people probably will not."
