Description

This lightweight, water-based serum contains 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), a clinically proven ingredient that helps to visibly reduce acne marks, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and dullness. It works by balancing sebum production, strengthening the skin’s barrier, and improving overall texture and clarity.

Often combined with Zinc (1%) or soothing agents in many formulas, this serum is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and suitable for all skin types, especially oily and acne-prone skin.
