Product Description

Quick Facts
- 30ml or 60ml
- 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3) + 1% zinc PCA
- Water-based, lightweight serum
- AM and PM use
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Best for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin
Why It Works in the UAE
Humid coastal summers push oil production up, and shine builds fast under sunscreen. Niacinamide and zinc work together to keep the T-zone more balanced through the day, in a texture light enough to wear under SPF.
Key Benefits
- Reduces visible oil and shine
- Refines the look of enlarged pores
- Smooths uneven texture and brightens dullness
- Supports and strengthens the skin barrier
- Calms the look of blemishes
Key Ingredients
- Niacinamide (10%): brightens, refines pores and supports the moisture barrier
- Zinc PCA (1%): balances the look of excess oil and visible shine
Who It Is For
Best for: oily, combination and acne-prone skin; enlarged-looking pores; dullness and uneven texture.
Not ideal for: very sensitive skin that reacts to high-strength niacinamide. Start with a few drops every other day and patch test first.
How to Use
Apply a few drops to the face morning and evening after cleansing, before heavier creams. Do not use in the same routine as a direct vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) serum. Finish with SPF in the morning.
Pairs Well With
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (or both together in The Ordinary Skin Support Set), CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+.
