FAQs

CAN I USE THIS IN THE AM OR PM? Both! It’s safe and effective morning and night.

CAN I LAYER IT WITH OTHER ACTIVES? Yes - but avoid using with high-strength Vitamin C (like our 30%) and exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs, PHAs). Safe to use with our 15% Vitamin C + EGF.

CAN I USE THIS WITH RETINOL? Absolutely. Apply Niacinamide before Retinol to help reduce potential irritation.

IS IT GOOD FOR DRY SKIN TOO? Yes! It helps balance oil production, making it great for both dry and oily skin types.

WHAT’S THE % OF NIACINAMIDE? 10%

SHOULD I USE THIS OR THE 20% NIACINAMIDE SOLUTION? If you have oily skin all over, go for our 20% Niacinamide. For combination or t-zone oiliness (and no active breakouts), stick with the 10%.

WHAT’S THE PH LEVEL? 6.09 HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS? Give it 4–6 weeks of consistent use. More isn’t always better - overuse can cause irritation.

WHY ISN’T THIS PRODUCT VEGAN? It contains one egg-derived ingredient.

IS THE SQUALANE ANIMAL DERIVED? No - it’s plant-based.

IS IT SAFE FOR PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING? Yes

CAN I USE THIS WITH PRESCRIPTION TREATMENTS? Check with your doctor first.

Not for me
Personally I didn't feel that this did anything for me. I tried it to try and tackle excess oil since I was wearing makeup every day to the office. It could just have been the combo of this with the makeup I was wearing or maybe my whole skin routine wasn't blending well together. But I didn't see much of a difference with this one as I do with other products. I personally would not buy again.

Good serum, not sticky
This serum is not sticky like all other niacinamide serums I tried. I guess it works well. It´s not though totally matt for use under makeup for oily skin.
