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.

I've been wanting to try a product with niacinamide as I've read that this ingredient can be good for barrier repair and my rosacea prone, dehydrated skin struggles with this very issue. TO's zinc...

I'm loving this product. Great simple but effective. I'm about to start my 2nd jar of this. I'm finding it's helped in not only keeping breakouts down but also helps improve texture and clarity....

This did nothing for me. I think it has more to do with my skin not responding to the actives, not the quality of the product.

This serum is great for targeting excess sebum and redness but don't expect too much especially if you're dealing with persistent acne. Your pores will definitely look smaller and it helped a lot...

This was my first time using niacinamide, and I like it. I think that it has made my pores appear smaller. I don't like the texture of this, it's a bit too thick and goopy. I will definitely be...

I couldn't tell a difference in my skin before and after using this. I will say that if niacinamide is a ride or die ingredient for you, this is a screaming deal. Be warned that the zinc does leave...
