Correction of signs of aging with new HYALU B5 products from La Roche-Posay 1
What product is really effective, pleasant to use and affordable? Today we will talk about new products that are worthy of special attention and fulfill all the promises of the manufacturer - the La Roche-Posay brand.
We begin to fear the first age-related changes already at the age of 20, when, it would seem, everything is still ahead. But dehydration of the skin and the unfavorable conditions in which almost all girls living in big cities find themselves every day take their toll. Therefore, wrinkles can appear as early as 20, because it is from this age that the rate of production of hyaluronic acid in the skin begins to slow down.
Many cosmetic brands can now offer to save the situation and restore the water balance in the upper layers of the epidermis. Hyaluronic acid is everywhere and everywhere. It seems there is not a single person who has not heard of her. Creams, serums, injections. head is spinning!
What product is really effective, pleasant to use and affordable? Today we will talk about new products that are worthy of special attention and fulfill all the promises of the manufacturer - the brand La Roche-Posay.
The serum formula contains two types of pure hyaluronic acid. So the skin simply has no chance of being left without proper hydration!
So, the main components and their action:
• Hyaluronic Acid Complex Provides intense skin hydration, increased tone and elasticity, and restores its hydrolipid balance.
• Madecassoside stimulates collagen synthesis, restores the intercellular matrix of the skin, increases density and elasticity, and helps reduce wrinkles.
• Vitamin B5 soothes and accelerates skin barrier restoration processes.
• Thermal water La Roche-Posay soothes, protects and softens sensitive skin. Rich in Selenium, a natural antioxidant.
The serum is housed in a cute and laconic blue glass bottle.
Personally, I really like this design. You can immediately expect excellent results from such a bottle!
The vial is equipped with a pipette. By the way, in the packaging it is initially located separately from the bottle.
Using a pipette you can easily dose the amount of serum.
The texture of the product is light and slippery. The composition contains silicones, this is noticeable. But after absorption, there is no airtight film left on the skin; the serum is quickly “eaten up”, although I won’t say that instantly.
This is not a super weightless product, it is universal and gives the skin optimal hydration. It seems to me that in the summer just one serum will be enough. At least this applies to me personally and my dehydrated skin. But in cooler seasons, it is better to use additional care, which we will discuss below.
The serum pleasantly cools the skin and instantly relieves it from the feeling of tightness and itching (if you have just washed your face, for example). And the light aroma relaxes and puts you in a positive mood.
The consumption of the product is minimal. Two or three large drops are enough for my entire face. By the way, serum is an excellent base for makeup. The foundation goes on perfectly on her!
I've been using the new product for about a month now, so I was able to fully evaluate its effect. I’m not 20 anymore, so age-related changes are my main pain. The constantly appearing crease on the forehead, nasolabial folds and crow's feet are what bother me most.
Over this month, the serum has noticeably replenished the moisture reserves in the skin - it looks much fresher and more rested. The skin tone was slightly evened out, the relief became more uniform, and the skin tone increased. As for the unfortunate wrinkles, the fight against them continues, but I still see the first results. During the night, wrinkles are smoothed out, but at the end of the day, due to facial expressions, they can appear again (but on a smaller scale). But that same crease on the forehead has become noticeably less deep, that’s a fact. So we are moving in the right direction!
La Roche-Posay relied on serum, but this product deserves special praise, because it can also become part of the daily care of many girls.
The formula is based on the same components as in the serum.
The gel cream is located in a nice tube.
Tube is always the most convenient format!
A narrow nose is also a win-win option. No unnecessary or premature contact with air.
Thanks to this spout, you won’t be able to overdo it with the product even if you want to.
I really like the texture of this treatment! It's not quite a cream and not quite a gel. Lightweight, melting on the skin, plastic, it goes well with serum and provides additional hydration, and also gives the skin an extraordinary feeling of complete comfort.
Both new products are perfect for any skin type, even sensitive. After using the serum and care, the face does not shine like a pancake (although it is difficult to call it matte), and looks great. The skin quickly calms down, peeling disappears and redness is slightly smoothed out, replaced by smoothness and tenderness. The elasticity of the skin increases, its shade improves and the relief is evened out. So if you notice that your face seems a little “bruised,” you will definitely like HYALU B5.
Well, here is me and my skin “unvarnished”:
I think that further use HYALU B5 from La Roche-Posay will bring excellent results. I continue to fight wrinkles (and redness, yes, this is my eternal problem).
I advise everyone who wants to give their skin a boost of energy and moisture after winter to get acquainted with these new products.
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum and Hyalu B5 cream
Today I want to share my impressions of two new products from La Roche-Posay: Hyalu B5 Serum and Hyalu B5 cream
Line Hyalu B5 was created by a French brand La Roche-Posay to correct all age-related signs of skin aging: eliminating wrinkles, increasing firmness and elasticity.
It presents Hyalu B5 Serum and Hyalu B5 cream, the formula of which contains 2 types of pure hyaluronic acid (low molecular weight and high molecular weight) and vitamin B5.
— La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum
This concentrated serum is designed to erase signs of fatigue, smooth the skin and restore it to a fresh and healthy appearance, as well as provide intense hydration, increase firmness, tone, elasticity, and also reduce wrinkles.
The hyaluronic acid complex provides intense skin hydration, increased tone and elasticity.
Madecassoside stimulates collagen synthesis, restores the intercellular matrix of the skin, increases density and elasticity, and helps reduce wrinkles.
The serum is more like a gel in texture, a little viscous. It is not absorbed quickly and leaves a sticky feeling on the skin.
In addition, it has a rather sharp and sugary-sweet fragrance that is in no hurry to disappear from the skin.
The manufacturer recommends using it morning and evening, but with makeup Hyalu B5 Serum bad “friendship” - the durability of foundations deteriorates and I was surprised to notice how makeup “floats” on my cheekbones throughout the day. So for me it's optimal to use Hyalu B5 Serum (as well as the cream from this line) only in the evening.
Overnight, the serum moisturizes the skin very well (despite the fact that alcohol is present in the third place in the composition), but it does not fulfill any of its other promises.
And about the composition itself: it is quite simple: water, alcohol, synthetic humectant, dimethicone, emulsifier... for a pharmacy brand, this composition clearly leaves much to be desired.
I don’t at all share everyone’s enthusiasm for this serum, it’s just a regular moisturizer, and there are now a lot of analogues for less money.

— La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 cream
Face cream with hyaluronic acid Hyalu B5 Anti-Wrinkle Care intended for the care of facial skin with defects such as lack of firmness and elasticity, as well as wrinkles.
The manufacturer promises us that a course of using the cream will reduce the number and depth of wrinkles, increase skin tone, and also give the face a uniform tone and a healthy glow. Ah, these promises...
Apart from good skin hydration, I did not see any other effect.
Hyalu B5 cream It has a light creamy-gel texture, is absorbed quickly, but a “film” remains on the skin and makeup runs off on it. So, just like the serum from this line, I only used it in the evening.
It has a fragrance, but it is not as strong as the serum.

Promises: fight wrinkles, moisturize, restore, soothe.
Main ingredients: hyaluronic acid complex, vitamin B5, madecassoside, thermal water.
- anti-wrinkle care Anti-Wrincle Care Hyalu B5 - texture - light cream, restores tone and elasticity (RUB 1,900);

Ira: Proven combination of components + proven brand = #get it, I think! At a minimum, serum - such products are effective, versatile and can be used with any care.
Hyper Real Glow Palette, MAC
It promises everything we usually expect from an excellent highlighter: easy shading, no obvious glitter, the ability to create both a light highlight and a cosmic glow. The texture is soft, almost creamy, powder. The palette is available in two combinations:
- Get It Glowin’ – golden shades;
- Flash + Awe - cool pink shades.
Available now in stores and on the MAC website.
Lena: The packaging is one-on-one, like Artdeco highlighters, and our foreign colleagues compare the filling to Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Powder. If the resemblance is not fictitious, I will only be glad. It's great to get three highlighter shades for the price of one, right?
Line for care of blond hair Morphosis Blonde, Framesi
Promises: color retention, smoothness and shine.
Main ingredients: borage oil, hydrolyzed brewer's yeast, vitamin E.
The line is designed to combat all the problems that are characteristic of light colored hair. The products should restore the structure (brewer's yeast acts as a filler), moisturize and prevent dehydration (omega-6 fatty acids). A nice bonus is the aroma pyramid, like a real perfume: bergamot, neroli, eucalyptus, lemon, orange and about 15 other different notes. The line included:
- Shampoo for cold shades of light and gray hair Cool Blonde Shampoo - contains violet pigment, enhances the cold shade, neutralizes yellowness (RUB 1,523);

Already on sale on the website seasonkrasoty.ru and in company stores in Vegas Crocus City and Vegas Kashirskoe Highway.
Yana Z.: I will be the first (and perhaps the only one) in our gang to try Cool Blonde. Having gone platinum blonde, I fully appreciated how brilliant this thing is - shampoos with purple pigment. They are the ones who prevent me from turning into a chicken after a couple of headaches. My other requirement is no sulfates. (True, I don’t understand why they are there at all? To make your hair squeak? And who needs that squeak. It’s a mystery. If you don’t use a bunch of styling tools, you can do without them.) Someone asked in the comments to the post “Makeup with the Neapolis, New City collection“, what I did with my hair to make it so shiny. Well, Alex Contier, my hairdresser, also worked his magic on them, of course. But the main merit, I think, is the rejection of sulfate shampoos.
Olya: I’d really like to try it too. I am always looking for products that kill yellowness for a long time. And I also really love it when shampoos have a pleasant and long-lasting scent, because my porous hair, exhausted by endless dyeing, holds it perfectly. So based on the description, this Framesi line is something I should be looking at.
Cushion perfect tone SPF50 Derma-Cushion, Dr.Jart+
Promises: perfect coverage.
Main ingredients: low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, zinc oxide, calendula extract, moringa oil.
The main difference from other cushions is the ability to vary the density of coverage and the degree of shine due to two sectors. The outer circle is the foundation, and the plus sign in the center is the pinkish highlighter. When mixing shades, the effect of wet skin is obtained; when applying only the outer sector, a denser and matte coating is obtained; with the “plus” you can additionally place accents above the lip, on the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. Also, the cushion should work as a full-fledged skincare product: moisturize, fight inflammation, heal and relieve irritation. Available in two shades:
- 1 Pink Beige - evens out complexion;
- 2 Beige - hides redness.
Lena: Can I choose the finish and density of the coating? Then this is the first cushion that interests me.
Ira: I like the idea, but I don’t like the execution: I definitely won’t be able to miss the plus sign at all. On the other hand, I still need a bit of shine, as well as the opportunity to get denser coverage and SPF 50.
Olya: I’ll just say one thing: everyone disperse and quickly give this beauty to the cushion maniac!
Perfume brand Mizensir
The creator of Mizensir is perfumer Alberto Morillas, whose portfolio includes more than two hundred fragrances (for example, Good Girl Gone Bad Extreme, By Kilian, Calvin Klein CK One, Givenchy Hot Couture, Flower By Kenzo and Le Labo Tubereuse 40 New York). Each Mizensir fragrance tells a story from Morillas' life: about a trip around the world, about his childhood or about his beloved Andalusia. The most common notes are white musk, citrus fruits, hedione and paradisone (artificial jasmine absolute). All fragrances are based on combinations of natural and synthetic molecules.
The collection includes 20 scents (with a silver lid - light, with a gold lid - rich), almost 100 candles and a lot of sprays for the home.
For understanding, here are a few striking examples:
- Fragrance Ideal Oud, Mizensir - two types of rose combined with incense and oud (RUB 16,000).
- top notes: rose centifolia absolute, Bulgarian rose, pink pepper;
- Heart notes: saffron absolute, ylang-ylang, Laotian agarwood;
- Base notes: Bourbon vanilla absolute, labdanum absolute, papyrus.
Yana Z.: And I fell for Aima de Rosario. Citruses and white flowers with a violet whisper, and la-a-andyshas, la-a-andyshas, to wear right now, when winter has not gone away, and spring has come, crisp sun during the day and cold at night.
Lena: I want to try home sprays. Especially Chambre des Lords and Datcha et Isba. Let there be a dacha in the bedroom, and the House of Lords in the workroom. “Wood paneling, worn leather and large stained glass windows letting in soft light.”. Or not, better the other way around. I will sleep in the House of Lords, and write texts in the country!
Available now in stores and on the Molecule website.
Limited collection Boys & Girls, Essence
The highlight of the collection is that the products are created taking into account the needs of not only women, but also men (or girls and boys).

Yana Z.: My applause, Essense. We sing this to the madness of these, yes, of course. But you are great.
Lena K.: I’m still waiting for men’s cosmetics to become the norm in Russia - concealer, powder, eyebrow gel. The main hope for millennials is that they are more free and open-minded than even us thirty-year-olds. So, bravo for Essence’s initiative. For packaging - only satisfactory. For some reason, I associate the “female-male” signs with contraceptives.
