The COSRX The Niacinamide 15 Serum (20ml) is a targeted serum designed to help brighten the skin, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a well-loved ingredient in skincare for its versatility and effectiveness.
Key Features:
-
15% Niacinamide: This serum contains 15% niacinamide, a potent concentration that works to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and improve overall skin tone. Niacinamide is also known for soothing inflammation and regulating oil production, making it suitable for both dry and oily skin types.
-
Improves Skin Texture: Niacinamide is famous for its ability to refine skin texture. It helps to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and smooths out rough patches, giving your skin a more even, polished look.
-
Reduces Hyperpigmentation: The serum is particularly effective at fading dark spots, post-acne scars, and uneven skin tone, giving the skin a brighter, more uniform appearance over time.
-
Hydrating Formula: In addition to niacinamide, the serum is designed to be hydrating, so it won't dry out the skin. It helps maintain the skin’s moisture balance, leaving the skin soft and nourished.
-
Non-Irritating: Niacinamide is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. This serum is formulated to be gentle, helping to calm inflammation and redness.
Benefits:
-
Brightens & Evens Skin Tone: Niacinamide helps reduce hyperpigmentation, brightens the complexion, and promotes a more even skin tone.
-
Reduces Pore Appearance: By regulating oil production and improving skin texture, this serum can help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
-
Anti-Inflammatory: Niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm irritated skin and reduce redness, making it beneficial for those with acne or rosacea.
-
Hydration & Moisture Retention: While addressing pigmentation and texture, the serum also helps keep the skin moisturized without causing dryness.
How to Use:
-
After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of the serum to your face.
- Gently massage it in, focusing on areas of concern like dark spots, uneven skin tone, or enlarged pores.
- Follow up with your moisturizer and sunscreen (if using in the morning).
- It can be used once or twice daily depending on your skin’s tolerance.
Tips:
-
Layering: You can layer this serum with other actives like Vitamin C or AHA/BHA products, but be sure to introduce them slowly to avoid irritation.
-
Start Slowly: If you're new to niacinamide or have sensitive skin, it's a good idea to start by using this serum every other day and then increase the frequency as your skin gets used to it.
