20% Niacinamide Concentrate, Use After Toner
After toning, apply this ampoule during your essence or serum step. Its lightweight, watery texture layers beautifully under your next products. For best results, give it a moment to fully absorb before following with your serum or moisturizer.
Morning and Evening Use
You can incorporate this into both your morning and evening routines. However, because it contains a high 20% niacinamide concentration, if you're new to the ingredient, start by using it in your evening routine first to see how your skin responds. Once your skin adjusts, you can add it to your morning routine as well for enhanced skin texture benefits.
2–3 Drops, Gently Pressed In
Dispense 2–3 drops with the dropper and smooth evenly over your entire face. For areas where pores are a concern, gently pat the product in with your fingertips to help absorption. The watery formula won't feel heavy even when layered. You can also mix 1–2 drops into your toner or moisturizer for a custom boost, but avoid mixing with sunscreen or makeup products.
Pairing Suggestions by Skin Concern
- For pores and texture: Follow with a lightweight toner → this ampoule → a fresh, hydrating moisturizer
- For dryness as well: Start with a hyaluronic acid toner to flood skin with moisture, layer this ampoule on top, then seal with a nourishing cream
- On days when skin needs calming: Pair with a cica-infused toner, or alternate with a madecassoside ampoule from the same line
High-Potency Product, Use With Care
Because this is a high-potency 20% niacinamide formula, sensitive skin may experience redness or stinging. Before first use, patch-test a small amount on the inside of your arm and check for any reaction. If using alongside retinol, separate application times or alternate days to avoid irritation. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight after opening, and discontinue use if discomfort persists.
