My previous online order from another site smelled like nail polish remover, so I was relieved to see Cicabelle’s Retinol B3 arrive shrink-sealed and flawless. Batch code shows it was filled only three months ago. I eased in with two nights a week—no redness, only a gentle glow the morning after. The pipette dispenses the exact pea size so I’m not wasting product, and the texture is more like a hydrating lotion than a harsh treatment. Bonus points for the polite delivery guy who actually phoned to confirm I’d be home.
Ordered at midnight, woke up to an 8 a.m. delivery call—quicker than Amazon Prime. The Retinol B3 pipette dispenses a perfect pea‐size and, shockingly, no redness around my nostrils. Batch code checked on CheckFresh, expiry 2028. Customer service even WhatsApped me retinol-intro tips.
أول مرة أجرب ريتنول ما يحرق. Cicabelle سلمتني العبوة مختومة وQR-code يفتح موقع La Roche الأصلي. بدأت ليلة بعد ليلة، صحيت وبشرتي مرتاحة وما فيها قشور. زوجي لاحظ الفرق على الخطوط الدقيقة.

Questions about La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Anti-Ageing Serum 30ml
How often should I apply this serum, and can I use it in the morning?
We recommend using this serum at night only, as retinol is not suited to daytime use. Start slowly with 2-3 applications per week on cleansed, dry skin, then build up gradually as your skin adjusts. Whatever your routine, a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning is a must while using retinol. ✓ ANSWERED BY THE CICABELLE TEAM
I have sensitive skin with some fine lines and sun spots. Is this serum suitable for me?
Yes, this is one of the retinols we most often suggest for sensitive skin, as it combines pure retinol with progressive-release retinol and vitamin B3 to keep the formula gentler. It targets exactly what you describe: fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone linked to sun damage. If your skin is very reactive, we recommend patch-testing on a small area first and introducing it slowly. ✓ ANSWERED BY THE CICABELLE TEAM
Is it normal that my skin feels dry after the first few uses? And is it safe during pregnancy?
Some initial dryness or mild flaking is a common part of the adjustment period with retinol, so ease off the frequency if needed and pair it with a good moisturiser. Please note that retinoids are generally advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so we recommend consulting your doctor before use. Daily sunscreen is essential throughout, as retinol makes skin more sensitive to the sun. ✓ ANSWERED BY THE CICABELLE TEAM
Is this the genuine La Roche-Posay product, and do you deliver to Abu Dhabi with cash on delivery?

We deliver across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi, and cash on delivery is available if you prefer to pay when your order arrives. ✓ ANSWERED BY THE CICABELLE TEAM
