Ingredients Explained

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.

🤍 time used: a month
I had very high hopes about this serum since it had minimalistic ingredients that looked promising as an acne prone skin, but upon using it day and night for a month i didn’t see any difference at all.
It barely hydrates the skin even when used on damp skin, and when i use it on dry skin it becomes sticky.
Also it’s expensive for the small ml they give.
Love avene but this Show more
