Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Niacinamide has emerged as an all-star ingredient due to its many benefits.
It is known to treat acne by reducing inflammation. It also helps fade dark-spots and strengthen the skin by promoting the growth of the ceramide barrier.
Other benefits include smoothing wrinkles and minimizing redness.
The cherry on top? Niacinamide can also help build keratin, a protein that keeps skin firm.
When incorporating niacinamide into your routine, look out for concentration amounts. Typically, 5% niacinamide provides benefits such as fading dark spots. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is better to begin with a smaller concentration.
Niacinamide can be mixed with other ingredients to boost benefits. For instance, it has shown to be effective when used with copper, folic acid, and zinc to treat acne.

Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.
Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

Although this product can be used as the last step in your morning or evening routine, I prefer to use it in the evening. It leaves a very matte finish, which I don’t like, even when layered with sunscreen or makeup.
The formula includes 10% azelaic acid and 1% salicylic acid, combined with five types of ceramides and a load of antioxidants, which sounds promising. It does improve skin texture, Show more
I loved it so much. My main skin concerns are related to texture, very visible pores and dullness. This product really addressed them, most notably on the general visual appearance of the skin. Worked like a charm and never felt too heavy or uncomfortable. Only problem: too pricey 🥲 I’m still to find a dupe 🥹 if you can buy it and have no problem with BHA, I highly suggest to try it.
