This innovative serum is the first ever to contain niacinamide at a safe, effective 20% concentration. This advanced level, complemented by purslane and acetyl glucosamine, steadily smooths out rough, orange-peel texture and tenacious bumps. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a smart, multifaceted ingredient that uniquely penetrates skin’s surface to help improve the look of sagging, stretched pores. It normalizes pore function and protects from further stretching when exposed to damaging UV light for a dramatically smoother, younger-looking complexion. Apply a few drops of Niacinamide 20% once or twice daily after cleansing, toning, and exfoliating. At night, layer with other treatment products as needed and follow with moisturizer; during the day, finish with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater. How does niacinamide serum differ from other serums? Niacinamide serums differ from other serums by gently & effectively targeting numerous concerns. Niacinamide serums help regulate oil production, reduce the look of redness, visibly minimize enlarged pores, and improve uneven tone. Unlike strong active serums, niacinamide is well tolerated and benefits all skin types. How often should one use niacinamide face serum? For best results, a niacinamide serum should be used once or twice daily after cleansing. Apply to damp or dry skin, then follow with moisturizer. What are key ingredients in quality niacinamide toners? Quality niacinamide toners, such as the Paula's Choice SKIN BALANCING Pore Reducing Toner, combine niacinamide to help brighten, even skin tone, and regulate oil with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and prevent dryness. Skin-soothing ingredients such as chamomile extract, allantoin, or panthenol visibly calm irritation and improve the look of redness. What are key benefits of using niacinamide serum? Niacinamide serums target common, stubborn skin concerns like uneven tone, redness, enlarged pores, and excess oil. It strengthens the skin barrier, improves texture, and boosts hydration, making skin look smoother, clearer, and healthier while being gentle enough for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
