Anti-ageing skincare range from La Roche-Posay now available

The skincare specialist La Roche-Posay is expanding its Hyalu-B5 range. A day cream in two variants and a water gel have been added to the serum.
Hyaluronic acid is considered an effective moisturiser in the cosmetics industry. The body's own substance can bind up to a thousand times its own weight in water. However, natural production decreases from the age of 25. This can favour premature skin ageing.
Serum as the basis of the series
The already well-known «Hyalu B5 Suractivated Serum» combines four different forms of hyaluronic acid with vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 is valued in cosmetics for its soothing and regenerating properties.

According to La Roche-Posay(/brand/la-roche-posay-17271), the serum is said to visibly plump up the skin and reduce wrinkles within a month.
The day care
The new cream complements the serum as a day care product. In addition to hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, it also contains ectoine. According to the manufacturer, this active ingredient strengthens the skin's protective barrier.
In dermatology, ectoine is said to have anti-inflammatory and cell-protecting properties.
If you want to protect your skin from UV radiation and are travelling in sunny climes, it is best to use the SPF 30 version.
The German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) recommends an LSF of 30 to protect the skin from sunburn and skin cancer. Only on the beach or in the mountains is the intensity of the radiation so high that you need an even higher SPF.
Water Gel for younger skin
According to the manufacturer, the water gel has been specially developed for younger people and those with oily skin. The texture is said to leave a matte finish and have a refreshing effect.
In addition to hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, the gel also contains salicylic acid. This is known for its mild exfoliating properties. Salicylic acid can remove excess sebum and is therefore particularly suitable for oily skin.
According to the manufacturer, all products in the range are suitable for sensitive skin and dermatologically tested. They do not contain parabens and are gluten-free.
