Shunly Alpha Niacin Smoothing Serum

All-in-one serum for brightening, pores, and texture refinement

This serum combines niacinamide (a brightening functional ingredient), alpha-arbutin (brightening), and liposomal glutathione (antioxidant) to target melanin production at multiple stages. Alpine plant extracts sourced from high-altitude botanicals deliver deep hydration, while the rich, bouncy texture adheres seamlessly to skin without any greasy residue, locking in moisture for hours. A dual-functional product for brightening and wrinkle improvement, it streamlines your routine by addressing skin texture in just one step.

Patented pore care complex and gentle exfoliation

A patented blend of common jasmine extract, white willow bark extract, and eggplant fruit extract helps regulate sebum production and refine the appearance of pores. Succinic acid at 1% gently resurfaces dead skin cells without irritation, smoothing out uneven texture. Job's tears seed extract and mung bean extract further soften and condition the skin.

pH 5.5 mildly acidic formula, safe for sensitive skin

Dermatologist-tested and formulated at a skin-friendly pH of 5.5, this serum is gentle enough for daily use without compromising your skin's natural protective barrier or moisture balance. Ideal for:

• Those seeking both brightening and smoother skin texture
• Anyone dealing with enlarged pores and excess sebum
• Those concerned with rough, flaky texture caused by dead skin buildup
• Anyone looking for a rich yet hydrating serum that doesn't feel heavy

After cleansing and toning, at the essence step

This smoothing serum is designed to be used at the essence stage, after you've cleansed and toned to prep your skin. For brightening actives like niacinamide and alpha-arbutin to absorb effectively, your skin should be hydrated and ready—that's where toner comes in. Follow with a moisturizer or cream to seal in all the nourishing ingredients from the serum.

Use morning and evening

In the morning, it helps maintain a brighter, more even complexion throughout the day. At night, it targets signs of daily fatigue and smooths skin texture while you rest. Formulated at a skin-friendly pH 5.5, it's gentle enough for daily use without irritation.

Apply evenly across the entire face

After cleansing and toning, dispense 1–2 pumps into your palm. Dot the serum onto both cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin, then gently smooth outward from the center of your face. Finish by pressing your palms lightly over your face to help the serum absorb—you'll notice a plump, bouncy finish.

Pairing with other products for targeted concerns

• If dullness is your main concern, try alternating with a vitamin C serum by time of day. Use vitamin C in the morning and this serum at night to maximize tone-evening results.
• For visible pores and excess oil, use a BHA toner 2–3 times a week before applying this serum.
• On days when your skin feels dry, layer a rich moisturizer over the serum to lock in hydration.

Important usage notes

This serum contains succinic acid, an AHA that helps with gentle exfoliation. Avoid using it on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating treatments to prevent irritation. If you're new to this product, start with a small amount and monitor how your skin responds. If you experience redness or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
