Hyperpigmentation

Have only been using for two weeks, haven’t seen a difference yet. Will use the whole bottle to decide. It smells really nice.

Unsure

I’ve been using this two times a day for about two weeks. I’m still unsure on if this product is working. Item suggests that it should start working in about four. I’ll check back in at that point. I have very dark sun spots, so I’m not surprised that it would take longer.

excellent addition

I have been using this product for several months now and have noticed a big difference with the hyperpigmentation areas on my cheeks, lighter and less noticeable, as well as the darker area around my mouth. Mela B3 serum complements the rest of my daily routine.

Dark spot serum

I like this serum. It doesn’t feel oily or heavy. I’ve only been using it a short time but I think my dark spots are getting a little lighter.

Excellent. product

Ok, so dark spots are really hard to get rid of. I started using this in combination with the companion cleanser and another product and am hoping to finally get rid of the spots on my face, décolletage and hands. This serum feels great and absorbs well. Wish me luck!

Faded life-long freckles and dark spots on face and back of hands

I received a sample of this product with one of my orders and noticed fading discoloration within a few days of starting to use it. That was good enough to encourage me to order a full bottle. It's been a month or so and I expect that I won't get much more improvement, but have been pleasantly surprised at the results, and lack of irritation to my sensitive skin.

Time will tell!

I’ve been trying to fade a sun spot on my chest for the last year or so. I’ve tried all kinds of serums and even Rx retinol. It has been getting a little lighter but then I got a deluxe Mela B3 sample, which lasted a few weeks. I think it’s been getting lighter, more quickly. Ordered the full size hoping it will do the trick by summer. Can’t hurt!

May take some time for Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum to work

After finishing one bottle, I can't say that I notice much lightening of my dark spots. Perhaps more time is required, but it's unlikely that I will repurchase because the scent is quite strong - not unpleasant, but I prefer unscented products.

pretty good

I am in my mid 50s with olive skin and have used this for 2 months daily so far. I tend to hyperpigment and get sun spots easy and this seems to be working ok as I have seen slight fading. I use it in conjunction with their Glycolic B5 dark spot corrector serum in the evening and I think this combo is the way to go if your skin is too sensitive to use retinol products.

La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum

This is my second bottle of La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum. My first purchase was from a local pharmacy. I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum for 5 months now, and I’m starting to see noticeable improvements in my skin’s overall appearance. The serum is designed to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone, and it does exactly that—albeit gradually. At first, I didn’t notice dramatic changes, but after consistent use, my dark spots have definitely started to fade. The formula contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), which is known for its brightening properties, and it works in tandem with other ingredients to gently reduce the appearance of pigmentation. The serum has thicker texture but it absorbs quickly into the skin, which I love. It feels refreshing and leaves my skin feeling soft. There is no heavy fragrance, which is a huge plus for sensitive skin like mine. Patience is key with this product—it doesn’t deliver overnight results, but the gradual improvement over time is worth the wait. If you’re looking for a product that can address hyperpigmentation with consistent use, I’d highly recommend giving this serum a try.

impressed with sample

I got this as a sample and decided to try it on my hands. very light skin with lots of brown spots (70yrs old) I had enough for about 4 days but it really did seem to lighten the spots a bit. After using the sample I purchased a bottle and am very impressed. The spots on my hands are definitely fading.
