Fact: There are a lot of hyaluronic acid serums out there – but they're not all hyaluronic acid products are created equal. Often, many are very expensive for what they are. 

But this little blue bottle isn't just another standard hyaluronic acid. It's formulated with two types of hyaluronic acid as well as vitamin B5 to plump skin and dramatically boost moisture levels. It immediately feels juicy and hydrating – like you're giving your thirsty skin a big ol' drink of water.

3. La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C Face Serum, $71.95.

Vitamin C can be tricky! Weird! Scary! Pick the wrong kind of formula, and you can end up doing a real number on your skin. 

So, if you're looking for something gentle, that'll still offer all the same benefits when it comes to improving the skin’s texture and tone, check out La Roche-Posay's Vitamin C Face Serum.

It's a real goodie, we promise. Just ask Mia Freedman.

2. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrated Serum, $44.96.

If you struggle with acne-prone skin and breakouts – this one's for you! This ultra-concentrated serum contains a fat stack of hardworking acids such of LHA’s, AHA’s and BHA’s to effectively reduce the appearance of blackheads and pimples – yet it's still lovely and gentle. 

It hydrates, comforts and soothes the skin, while unclogging pores and flushing out dead skin cells. 

We love to see it.

1. La Roche Posay Retinol B3 Anti-Ageing Serum, $71.95.

A retinol that won't make your skin freak out? Yes, it exists! In fact, it's another one of Mia Freedman's favourite serums.

If you're new to retinol and have no idea what you're doing and scared as hell about all those percentages and concentrations, this is a really good place to start. 

This formula is really easy on even the most sensitive skin types, helping to resurface and renew the skin, without compromising your barrier.
