The formula is dermatologist, allergy, and sensitive-skin tested. Mild tingling may occur in very reactive skin; if irritation develops, reduce frequency or discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Is this product tested on animals?
La Roche-Posay adheres to global cosmetic regulations regarding animal testing. Refer to the brand's official policy for the most current information on your region's standards.
What is the difference between a dark spot cleanser and a dark spot serum?
A cleanser is left on the skin briefly and primarily removes impurities while delivering some treatment ingredients, whereas a serum is left on the skin to deliver a higher concentration of active ingredients for deeper, longer-lasting correction.
