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.

This product went viral so I thought I'd try it. It's pretty basic, not anything special. Feels moisturising on the skin and perfect as a daily use product.

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.

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 them ...Read more

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 bottle. ...Read more
