Niacinamide 15% Serum

A high-potency 15% niacinamide serum that targets excess sebum and visible pores

If shine and enlarged pores are your main concerns, this serum deserves your attention. Formulated with a potent 15% niacinamide concentration, it helps regulate sebum production while visibly refining pores. To minimize irritation, niacin—a known sensitizer—is kept below 100 ppm, making this high-strength formula gentler on skin. The lightweight, fast-absorbing texture makes it easy to use consistently, day after day.

A synergistic blend for multi-targeted care

Beyond niacinamide, this serum brings together a curated mix of actives, each chosen to address specific skin needs.

• Arbutin 2%: Supports a clearer, more even skin tone
• Acetyl Glucosamine 1%: Acts as a hyaluronic acid precursor and helps soothe skin
• Zinc PCA 0.8%: Helps control excess oil production
• Tannin Complex 1%: A patented ingredient that targets pores and sebum regulation

Best suited for oily and combination skin types

This serum works especially well if your skin tends to get shiny quickly or if pores look noticeably larger throughout the day. If you're new to high-strength niacinamide, start with a small amount for the first 1–2 weeks and gradually increase as your skin adjusts. When using during the day, always finish with sunscreen as your final step. For optimal freshness, use within 6 months of opening.

Use after toner, before moisturizer

After cleansing, prep your skin with toner, then apply this serum right before your cream or moisturizer. The lightweight, fluid texture absorbs quickly and layers beautifully with the next step in your routine. If you're using multiple essences or ampoules, apply them in order from thinnest to thickest consistency.

Best used at night, but daytime use is fine too

With a potent 15% concentration, we recommend incorporating this into your evening routine. If you do use it during the day, always finish your skincare with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. While niacinamide itself doesn't cause photosensitivity, UV protection is essential to support the efficacy of the arbutin also included in the formula.

Apply a thin layer and pat to absorb

Dispense 2–3 drops into your palm and gently smooth over your face, following the natural texture of your skin. Lightly press and pat with your palms to help the serum absorb faster. Since this is a high-concentration formula, first-time users may want to start with just 1–2 drops and observe how your skin responds.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• For oiliness and visible pores: Follow a lightweight toner with this serum, then seal with a fresh, hydrating gel moisturizer
• For uneven skin tone: The arbutin in this formula helps target tone concerns without needing a separate brightening product
• For dryness: After the serum absorbs, layer on a hyaluronic acid cream to lock in moisture

Precautions for high-concentration formulas

If you're new to this ingredient, allow 1–2 weeks for your skin to adjust and start with a smaller amount. If you experience tingling or redness, reduce the amount or use every other day. Avoid using chemical exfoliants like AHA or BHA on the same day, as this may increase irritation—alternate days or use them at different times. Use within 6 months of opening. You may notice a white powder forming after exposure to air—this is a natural characteristic of the ingredient and nothing to worry about.
