The Niacinamide 15 Serum

Some of the questions our Beauty Advisors get more often are how to control shine, how to prevent the appearance of blemishes and how to reduce the size of pores. COSRX's Niacinamide 15 Serum could be the answer to these concerns, as its formula effectively tackles all three! Here’s why.

It's perfectly normal for our skin to produce sebum, but when it does it too much, shine and often blemishes can appear (if you have oily or combination skin, you know what we're talking about). Controlling and regulating sebum production is one of the main functions of niacinamide, a multi-purpose ingredient that also strengthens the skin's barrier function, prevents photoageing and prevents blemishes. COSRX's Niacinamide 15 Serum contains an impressive 15% niacinamide, and best of all, it's very light: your face won't feel sticky after application, as the formula absorbs instantly, leaving your skin hydrated, super soft and protected.

How about open pores? Pores are a natural part of the skin and they exist for a reason, so don't try to 'get rid of them'! Pore size depends on many factors, including genetics, but the main advice we can give you is that a good double cleansing routine will ensure that your pores are clean, free from dirt build-up and therefore less visible and less likely to develop into blackheads or blemishes. The zinc in Niacinamide 15 has anti-inflammatory, astringent and collagen-producing properties, which helps to prevent larger pores from becoming blackheads, whiteheads or spots and keeps skin healthy. It also helps the skin to regenerate faster. So, if you have acne scars, it'll help them fade faster. Impressive, right?

This niacinamide serum from COSRX is a must for all oily, combination or acne-prone skin types who want to keep shine, blemishes and breakouts at bay. Used consistently alongside Meisani Gel Moisturiser, you'll see results sooner than you think. Do you have sensitive skin? Don't worry, it won't irritate it. Get your bottle today!
