Niacinamide Serum

Product Information

Our Niacinamide Serum is a potent yet gentle formula designed to deliver visible results without irritating your skin. Formulated with 5% niacinamide, vitamin B5 (panthenol), and hyaluronic acid, this niacinamide serum is fantastic for improving skin tone and texture, fading pigmentation and post-acne marks, and reinforcing your skin barrier.

Niacinamide is a clinically proven skincare ingredient with many benefits. It helps reduce inflammation, soothe irritated skin, and regulate oil production — making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive or oily skin. Niacinamide also encourages the production of ceramides, which are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. This not only strengthens the skin's defenses against environmental damage but also helps retain moisture, resulting in a more hydrated and resilient complexion. Additionally, niacinamide is known for its ability to brighten skin tone, fade hyperpigmentation, and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, leaving your skin looking smooth and even-toned.

Complementing the niacinamide is vitamin B5 (panthenol), a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin. Panthenol also soothes and repairs the skin, enhancing its natural healing process and leaving it soft and supple. Hyaluronic acid, another key ingredient, provides intense hydration by drawing moisture into the skin and holding it there, which plumps up the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our Niacinamide Serum is carefully crafted to ensure that you reap the benefits of these active ingredients without the risk of dryness or irritation. Whether you are dealing with uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, or the early signs of aging, this serum offers a gentle yet effective solution — helping you achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion with regular use.

• Minimizes enlarged pores – Tightens and refines the appearance of pores for a smoother texture.
• Strengthens skin barrier – Encourages ceramide production, improving moisture retention and resilience.
• Hydrates and plumps – Hyaluronic acid and panthenol draw in moisture, reducing fine lines and leaving skin soft and supple.

Instructions of Use

Step 1: Patch test
Patch test on a small area before first use.

2. Can I use this serum daily?
Yes. Apply once or twice daily (morning and/or night) for best results.

5. Why 5% niacinamide instead of 10%?
