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 have to bring the average down here. This product is terrible and should not be used if you have sensitive skin in any way. I did a patch test overnight just in case I had a reaction. When I...

    At first I didn't think think it was for me as my skin is getting drier at 46 but then decided to give it a try. And I was impressed with the results: It got rid of most of my spots in my jawline...

    I don't know how I feel about this product... I feel like it did help my acne scars a bit, but it's also supposed to help your skin be less oily and I didn't see any of that at all.

    I purchased this as I thought it would help with my textured skin. Unfortunately, all it did was give me tiny bumps. Very disappointing considering all the hype around The Ordinary products

    It does improves my skin texture a bit, but the moment I put it on it stings my face. Maybe 10% is too much for me or it is something else in the formulation. The texture is fine, light and...

    Really liked it for my oily skin, do not like the dropper style packaging though. :( But I would repurchase, the price is good for such an effective productive.
