description

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin alongside zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid has been shown to significantly reinforce skin barrier function, improve skin smoothness, and increase skin radiance over time. Contraindications: If topical Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid and/or Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid) is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect integrity of the Vitamin C.

ingredients

Aqua (Water), Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc Pca, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Xanthan Gum, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

    Although it’s only 30ml, the lightweight oil formulation allows me to generously cover my entire face (which is on the larger side) with just 1 drop. As I become more concerned with blemishes and...

    This dried me out and irritated me beyond belief, luckily the effect didn't last long but I'm too put off to continue use.

    This stuff is extremely drying on skin. I threw it away because it was too irritating. It might be OK for some people to use on individual targeted blemish spots, but not all over the face. With...

    Using this as an all-over serum didn't do anything for me, not for pores and not for oiliness. BUT... when spot applying on acne, it's been my go-to for years, always helping to flatten and calm...

    The texture was the biggest let down for me, bit too sticky. I would only use it in the evening, as it would be hard applying other products over this serum in the morning. Also, couldn't see any...

    Has no scent - good. Over time lessens the darkness of scars and dark spots, but it takes time, this is not overnight product. I love that it comes in glass bottle, such a nice not too heavy...
