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 worked to reduce oily skin, but I didn't notice any pore reduction or change in redness - mind you, I don't have terribly red or pore-y(?) skin to begin with. The first time I used it,...

    As some here already said it is a great product if you combine it with other products. But to be honest I wouldn't repurchase it. If you add up all the products you will spend 30-50 dollars for...

    I purchased this item as it is known to reduce redness and minimise pores. I use it every morning for about a month. Although the price is great, the result is not. Unlike other Ordinary serums,...

    I'm currently on my forth bottle of this. It keeps redness and breakouts at bay, the formulation could be a tad less tacky but overall, considering the price it doesn't matter to me.

    Decent for the price, sticky and tacky on skin. Leaves a white film on skin if you rub it into your skin for too long, however most people can avoid this. Did lighten my PIE after 2 weeks but...
