La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum, For Anti-Dark Spots & Pigmented Skin with Melasyl + 10% Niacinamide

What this one is like

This is a targeted serum for dark spots and uneven tone. It’s not a strong peeling treatment, but more of a steady, everyday option that works slowly with consistent use.

The texture is light and easy to layer, so it fits into most routines without much effort.

Who will like this

Works best if your skin is:
