Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Smoothing

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.

Usage: 2 months (AM + PM)
Skin type | Mixed to oily skin. Skin tone is very light. The main concerns are clogged pores, and inflamed white spots.

This cream integrated my morning and night routine for the past 2 months, producing visible changes. The application is a very pleasant experience as the texture is very light and fluid and absorbs quickly, not leaving any residue. The skin Show more

This was SO close to working for me. I suspect either the triglycerides were too comedogenic for me or that I have a niacinamide sensitivity. My skin’s reaction to this was far better than most other products though, and that’s saying something. That said, the experience and consistency of this was nice. It wasn’t QUITE hydrating enough and over time my skin started to get irritated and broken Show more
