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.

It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservativesÂ
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Here's what our community thinks
Skintific Symwhite 377 Dark Spot Serum 43 ingredients
My 1st product to help with pigmentation
Texture: Lightweight serum. Slightly moisturizing.
Scent: No scent
Performance: Brighten and lighten acne scar if consistently used.
Pros: Contain ceramide for skin barrier.
Cons: Contain PEG. Pump might stuck sometimes. Symwhite 377 is behind Niacinamide in ingredient list.
WRP/WNRP: WNRP (trying other lighter serum and minimize my skincare products)
Mary & May Niacinamide + Chaenomeles Sinensis Serum 8 ingredients
really calmed my skin and inflammations!
Not sure how effective Chaenomeles Sinensis is or this formula is. Seems to have a light scent
