If your skin reacts to everything, feels permanently tight or dry, or you've been over-exfoliating and need to hit the reset button - this is the serum you need.

Best Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

10% Niacinamide Serum - 30ml | $14

★★★★★ 4.5 Stars | 735 Reviews | As seen in Cosmopolitan & Stylist Magazine

Oily skin is dehydrated skin too - it just doesn't look it. When your skin overproduces oil, it's often because your skin barrier is crying out for moisture. The answer isn't to strip it further; it's to balance it. Our 10% Niacinamide Serum regulates oil production, minimises the appearance of pores, and calms blemishes - while Hyaluronic Acid ensures your skin stays hydrated throughout.

The result? Clearer, more balanced skin. Without the dryness that most blemish treatments cause.

Why it works:

10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is the optimal concentration for visible oil control and pore refinement - effective enough to make a real difference, gentle enough for daily use on even sensitive or reactive skin. Paired with Hyaluronic Acid for balanced hydration that won't feel heavy or pore-blocking.

Best for: Oily skin, combination skin, blemish-prone skin, enlarged pores, anyone using retinol who needs a buffer
Skin types: All skin types | Sensitive skin | Pregnancy & breastfeeding safe
Targets: Excess oil, redness, breakouts & blemishes

- Visibly reduces excess oil, blemishes, and enlarged pores
- Gentle enough for daily AM + PM use
- Works with retinol - apply first to reduce potential irritation
- Lightweight - layers easily under SPF and makeup

What our customers say :

"It's very gentle and hydrating, doesn't irritate the skin." — Kooshul C., verified buyer

"I've always found it hard to find a routine to manage my dry but acne prone skin. These products helped reduce my inflammation, whilst also keeping my skin really hydrated." — Charlotte, verified buyer
