Description

This serum contains niacinamide (vitamin B3) at 10% concentration alongside zinc PCA at 1%. The brand says the formula helps balance excess sebum, addresses enlarged pores, targets wrinkles and fine lines, and improves plumpness and suppleness.

The brand positions it for blemish-prone skin. You can use it morning and evening, though if you also use topical vitamin C, apply this formula at alternate times to avoid any interaction between the two ingredients.
