Vita B3 Source 40ml

10% Niacinamide + 2% Arbutin Dual Brightening Formula

TIAM Vita B3 Source is a brightening functional serum powered by 10% niacinamide and 2% arbutin. Niacinamide works to inhibit melanin transfer and support pigment breakdown, while arbutin blocks the activity of melanin-producing enzymes—creating a synergistic effect that targets dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The lightweight, watery texture absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, making it easy to layer into your morning and evening routine.

Visible Skin Improvements After 2 Weeks of Use

In a clinical study conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences with 22 adult women, the following improvements were observed:

• 106.35% improvement in the appearance of dark spot traces
• 111.13% reduction in melanin intensity
• 101.09% improvement in skin luminosity

It delivers triple tone-resetting care—addressing redness, sallowness, and uneven darkness—to help clarify and even out a dull, uneven complexion.

If You're Concerned About Hyperpigmentation and Post-Blemish Marks

This serum is ideal if you struggle with stubborn hyperpigmentation or lingering marks from breakouts, or if your skin looks dull and uneven and could use a radiance boost. After cleansing, smooth over toned skin and gently pat in. For daytime use, always follow with sunscreen to help maintain and prolong your brightening results.

After toner, before cream — in the serum step

Vita B3 Source is a serum designed to be used right after cleansing and toning. Its lightweight, water-like texture absorbs best when applied before essences or creams. Follow with a moisturizer, and in the morning, always finish with sunscreen.

Safe for daily use, morning and night

The niacinamide and arbutin combination is gentle enough for twice-daily use. Dermatologist-tested with 0.0% irritation score, this gentle formula is suitable for sensitive skin and daily, long-term use. If you're new to the product, start with a small amount and monitor how your skin responds.

Dispense with the dropper and apply gently

Use the dropper to dispense 2–3 drops onto your palm, then gently smooth over the entire face. For areas with dark spots or hyperpigmentation, apply a second layer for targeted care. The non-sticky, water-based formula absorbs seamlessly and layers well with the rest of your routine.

Recommended pairings by skin concern

• For a dull complexion: Alternate with a vitamin C serum by time of day. Use vitamin C in the morning and B3 Source at night for brightening synergy.
• For post-breakout marks: Calm skin with a soothing toner first, then apply B3 Source and seal with a lightweight moisturizer.
• For melasma and dark spots together: Pair with a melanin-targeting cream to address pigmentation from multiple angles.

Important notes for high-concentration niacinamide use

This product contains 10% niacinamide. If you're new to high-concentration actives, start with a small amount and adjust based on your skin's tolerance. In rare cases, arbutin may cause mild itching or small bumps. If any adverse reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children.
