QUESTIONS

ASK A QUESTION

Q: Can I use La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum every night?

Official Answer By Mimic Makeup

Official Answer By Mimic Makeup
Absolutely, it combines retinol with soothing Vitamin B3 specifically to ensure high tolerance for sensitive skin types.

Official Answer By Mimic Makeup
Yes, retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so applying broad-spectrum SPF daily is essential.

Official Answer By Mimic Makeup
Retinol accelerates cell turnover, which can help fade the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone over time.

The specific percentage is not publicly disclosed by the brand, but it contains both pure and gradual-release retinol.
