La Roche Posay Pure Vitamin C12 Serum: A vitamin C serum with 12% vitamin C, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid for radiant skin and a refined, smoother complexion.
The La Roche Posay Pure Vitamin C12 Serum is an anti-aging treatment that optimizes skin quality and counteracts the signs of aging (wrinkles and dark spots). The serum contains 12% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), known for its radiance-enhancing properties. The facial serum also contains the active ingredient salicylic acid, which removes dead skin cells.
The result: Skin appears smoother. Soothing ingredients such as La Roche-Posay thermal water and neurosensins ensure that the vitamin C serum is optimally tolerated even on sensitive skin. The serum absorbs instantly and, thanks to its smoothing effect, is also ideal as a makeup base.
