6% Niacinamide Complex Serum

Oily and combination skin runs into a real catch. It still needs water, but rich creams tend to trigger shine and breakouts. When skin is short on moisture, it often answers by making more oil. This serum gives skin the water-based hydration it wants, and leaves the heavy oils out.

How It Works

First, niacinamide gets to work helping regulate how much oil your skin makes, rather than just blotting the surface. Next, witch hazel and plant extracts tone the skin and help tighten the look of pores. Then, hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin for a plumper feel with no greasy finish. Meanwhile, calming botanicals like feverfew and honey help settle the redness that often comes with oily, breakout-prone skin. Finally, with regular use, skin tends to even out: less shine, more comfort, and a clearer look.

Triple-Action Oil Control System

1. Sebum Regulation. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, helps skin normalize its own oil output. It does this without stripping or clogging, so skin can look matte and still feel comfortable instead of tight.
2. Botanical Oil Control. Watercress, sage leaf, and lemon peel extracts help keep shine in check and add antioxidant support. They are gentle enough for reactive skin, which harsher astringents often are not.
3. Calming Support. Feverfew and honey help quiet the redness and irritation that tend to travel with oily, acne-prone skin. Honey also brings mild antibacterial benefits, so the formula stays suitable for sensitive skin.

When to Apply

• Use morning and evening, right after cleansing.
• Apply to slightly damp skin for better absorption.
• Layer before moisturizer, or wear it on its own.
• Always follow with sunscreen during the day.

How to Apply

1. Cleanse thoroughly: Wash away makeup, dirt, and oil so the serum can absorb properly. Start with a clean face.
2. Leave skin damp: Do not fully dry off after cleansing. A little water on the skin helps the serum sink in better.
3. Dispense a small amount: A few drops cover your whole face. This formula is concentrated, so you do not need much.
4. Smooth over face and neck: Sweep it on with gentle upward strokes. Bring it down onto your neck too.
5. Follow with sunscreen: In the daytime, apply SPF once the serum absorbs. It protects your skin and helps your results last.

Pro Tips

• Apply to damp skin for better absorption.
• A few drops is plenty. Less really is more.
• Works well as a soothing aftershave for men.
• Layers under makeup without pilling.
• Daily use gives you the clearest results.

Application Notes

• For external use only.
• Wear sunscreen during the day.
• Avoid contact with the eyes.
• Stop use if irritation occurs.

This product is perfect for treating and protecting:

Oily T-zone and shine: Niacinamide and plant extracts help regulate oil at the source instead of just mopping up the surface, so shine stays in check through the day.

Enlarged pores and rough texture: Steady use helps refine the look of stretched pores. Witch hazel adds a gentle astringent effect that helps pores appear tighter over time.

Dark spots and uneven tone: Niacinamide is well known for helping brighten the look of dark spots. With regular use, skin tone looks more even and luminous.

Redness and irritation: Feverfew and honey help calm the look of reactive skin, which makes the serum a good fit when redness shows up alongside oiliness.

Acne-prone skin that needs hydration: The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula gives skin the moisture it needs without clogging pores. Well-hydrated skin holds its balance better.

Post-shave irritation: The light, soothing formula works as an aftershave. It calms razor irritation and absorbs fast with no greasy residue, which men tend to appreciate.

Best For

• Morning routine: A light base under sunscreen and makeup.
• Evening care: A calming treatment after you cleanse at night.
• Post-shave: Soothing hydration for men after shaving.
• Oily and combination skin: Oil-free balance without the dry, tight feeling.
• Acne-prone skin: Non-comedogenic hydration that supports clearer skin.
• Sensitive skin: Gentle enough for reactive, easily irritated complexions.

Does the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum work for oily skin?

Yes. This serum is built for oily and combination skin. The 6% niacinamide helps regulate oil at the source, while witch hazel and botanical extracts help control shine. Sodium hyaluronate keeps skin hydrated without adding any grease, so skin looks balanced rather than shiny.

What does niacinamide do for your skin?

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is one of skincare's most versatile ingredients. In this serum it helps regulate oil, soften the look of pores, brighten uneven tone, and support the skin barrier. Because it is gentle, it suits most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Will the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum dry out my skin?

No. It balances oil rather than stripping it. The niacinamide helps normalize oil output while hyaluronic acid delivers lightweight moisture, so skin feels comfortable instead of tight or flaky. Hydrated skin actually tends to produce less excess oil over time.

Is this niacinamide serum safe for sensitive skin?

It is formulated to be gentle. Alongside niacinamide, the serum includes calming botanicals like feverfew and honey that help soothe the look of reactive skin. As with any new product, patch test first and stop use if irritation occurs.

How is this different from other niacinamide serums?

Most niacinamide serums are single-note. This one pairs 6% niacinamide with a botanical oil-control blend of watercress, sage leaf, and lemon peel, so it works on oil, pores, brightness, and the look of redness at once. The water-based, oil-free base makes it easy for oily and acne-prone skin to wear.

Can men use the 6% Niacinamide Complex Serum as an aftershave?

Yes, and many do. The light, soothing formula helps calm razor irritation and hydrates freshly shaved skin without a greasy film. The niacinamide also helps ease the look of redness from shaving, which makes it a comfortable swap for traditional aftershave.

Will this serum help with acne and breakouts?

It can support clearer-looking skin in a few ways. Niacinamide helps regulate the oil that contributes to clogged pores, and the calming botanicals help settle the redness that comes with breakouts. The non-comedogenic formula hydrates without clogging. For active or severe acne, check with a dermatologist.

Can I use niacinamide with retinol or vitamin C?

Yes. Niacinamide layers well with most actives, including retinol and vitamin C. Apply this serum after your water-based products and before heavier creams or oils. When you are combining several actives, introduce them one at a time so you can see how your skin responds.

Do I still need a separate moisturizer with this serum?

It depends on your skin. Many people with oily or combination skin find the hyaluronic acid and glycerin give them enough hydration on their own. If you have drier patches or it is winter, you may want a moisturizer layered on top. Follow what your skin is telling you.
