Smoothing

Other benefits include smoothing wrinkles and minimizing redness.

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.

Immediate glow up!
Best brightening serum I've used! I noticed a difference within a week. My skin loves vitamin C and peptides, so this is an amazing serum in the morning under moisturiser and/or SPF. I took to applying it at night, too, especially around my eyes, under my night cream, and it really helped my puffiness and circles. Love it!
