Niacinamide 10% Serum — Oil, Pores & Uneven-Looking Tone

A straightforward 10% Niacinamide serum for oily or combination skin, visible pores, post-blemish marks and uneven-looking tone.

What It Helps With

• Helps excess surface oil look more balanced
• Helps visible pores appear less noticeable
• Supports a smoother, more even-looking complexion
• Helps post-blemish marks and visible dark spots look less noticeable over time
• Provides a simple leave-on serum step without requiring several overlapping brightening products

Who It’s For

A good choice for oily, combination or blemish-prone skin where visible pores, excess shine and uneven-looking tone are key concerns. A 10% concentration can still feel strong to some reactive skin, so patch test and introduce gradually rather than assuming it will suit every sensitive skin type.

How to Use

1. Apply a small amount to clean skin.
2. Allow it to absorb before moisturiser.
3. Use morning and/or evening according to skin tolerance.
4. During the day, finish with an appropriate broad-spectrum sun-protection product and follow its current label directions.

Niacinamide 10% vs Advanced Brightening Elixir

Choose this Niacinamide 10% Serum when oil balance, visible pores and a straightforward Niacinamide step are your priorities.

Choose the Advanced Skin Brightening Serum Elixir when you want the broader Niacinamide-led hydration and radiance formula.

Do You Need to Layer It With Exosome or Retinol?

No. More active products do not automatically mean better results. Niacinamide can sit within a broader skincare routine, but you do not need to apply Exosome Serum, retinol and Niacinamide all in one application. Introduce products one at a time and keep the routine simple if irritation develops.

Realistic Expectations

There is no reliable universal 2–8 week results schedule. Changes in oiliness, visible pores and uneven-looking tone vary by individual skin, routine consistency and other factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 10% Niacinamide guaranteed to be gentle?
No. Many people tolerate Niacinamide well, but any concentrated cosmetic serum can irritate some users. Patch test if your skin is reactive.

Can I use it with Vitamin C?
They can form part of the same broader routine, but there is no need to force every active into one application. Use according to skin tolerance.

Can I use it with retinol?
Yes within a broader routine if your skin tolerates both, but separating products by time or by night can keep the routine simpler.

Does it treat acne?
No. This is cosmetic skincare for oil balance, visible pores and uneven-looking tone. Persistent, painful or scarring acne may need professional advice.
