La Roche-Posay B5 Glycolic Acid Serum 30ml
La Roche-Posay B5 Glycolic Acid Serum (30ml) is an AHA resurfacing serum that pairs the exfoliating power of 10% glycolic acid with the skin-repairing benefit of panthenol (Vitamin B5). Glycolic acid accelerates cell turnover to smooth texture, fade fine lines, and improve radiance — while B5 simultaneously nourishes and strengthens the moisture barrier to prevent dryness. This dual-action approach distinguishes it from La Roche-Posay's pure hydration Hyalu B5 Serum, making this specifically the exfoliating + repair option. Suitable for most skin types including dry and sensitive. Available in Pakistan at Derma.pk.

Description
La Roche-Posay B5 Glycolic Acid Serum 30ml — AHA Exfoliation Meets Barrier Repair
The La Roche-Posay B5 Glycolic Acid Serum (30ml) is a professional-grade AHA serum that delivers the dual benefit of exfoliation and skin barrier repair. With a 10% glycolic acid concentration to resurface and renew, combined with panthenol (Vitamin B5) to nourish and protect, this serum addresses texture irregularities, fine lines, and dullness without compromising the moisture barrier.
Key Ingredients
- 10% Glycolic Acid (AHA): The gold-standard alpha-hydroxy acid for chemical exfoliation — dissolves dead skin cell buildup to reveal smoother, brighter skin.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): A pro-vitamin that repairs the skin barrier, boosts hydration retention, and calms post-exfoliation sensitivity.
- La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water: Rich in minerals and antioxidants, it soothes while the active formula works.
Distinct from La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum
Note: The Hyalu B5 Serum (also available at Derma.pk) is a pure hyaluronic acid hydration serum with no exfoliant. The B5 Glycolic Acid Serum is for those who want AHA resurfacing paired with B5 repair. These are complementary, not interchangeable products.

Usage & Benefits
- AHA Exfoliation (10% Glycolic Acid): Dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating cell turnover to reveal fresher, smoother skin beneath.
- Skin Barrier Repair (Vitamin B5 / Panthenol): Strengthens the moisture barrier and retains hydration, counteracting the potential dryness of AHA exfoliation.
- Smooths Skin Texture: Regular use reduces roughness, uneven patches, and congested pores for a refined complexion.
- Reduces Fine Lines: Accelerated cell renewal gradually diminishes the depth and visibility of fine lines and early wrinkles.
- Brightens & Improves Radiance: Clears dulling dead skin buildup to reveal a more luminous, even-toned complexion.
- Dermatologist Formulated: Professional-grade concentration developed by La Roche-Posay with safety testing for sensitive skin.
How To Use
1. Cleanse face thoroughly and pat dry.
2. Apply a few drops of B5 Glycolic Acid Serum to fingertips.
3. Gently massage over face and neck, avoiding the eye contour area.
4. Allow to absorb fully (approximately 1–2 minutes) before layering other products.
5. Follow with a hydrating moisturizer.
6. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 in the morning — AHA increases sun sensitivity.
7. Begin with 2–3 times per week; gradually increase to daily use as skin acclimates.
8. Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency of use. Not recommended for use with other strong exfoliants (retinol, BHA) on the same evening without guidance.
FAQs
How is this different from La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum?
The Hyalu B5 Serum focuses purely on hyaluronic acid hydration and repair — with no exfoliation. The B5 Glycolic Acid Serum is the exfoliating option, combining AHA resurfacing with B5 barrier repair. Choose the Glycolic Acid version for texture improvement and brightening; choose the Hyalu B5 for pure hydration.
Is 10% glycolic acid safe for sensitive skin?
It is dermatologist tested and suitable for sensitive skin, but if you are new to AHAs, start with 2–3 uses per week and monitor your skin's tolerance before increasing frequency.
Do I need to use sunscreen with this serum?
Yes — this is essential. Glycolic acid increases UV sensitivity, so a broad-spectrum SPF 50 is non-negotiable during daytime use.
Can I use this serum at the same time as retinol?
Using two strong exfoliants together can cause irritation. It is generally recommended to use them on alternate evenings or seek guidance from a dermatologist.
Where can I buy La Roche-Posay B5 Glycolic Acid Serum in Pakistan?
Available online at Derma.pk, with nationwide delivery.
