The Inkey List’s Niacinamide harnesses the power of one of skin care’s truly multi-functional ingredients
This fragrance-free serum comes in an opaque squeeze bottle. The lightweight texture is slightly tacky at first, but dries down within a few minutes to a non-sticky feel.
The star ingredient here is a 10% concentration of niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, which has the ability to improve skin in a variety of ways. Using niacinamide in this amount can help reduce the appearance of pores, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, help with uneven skin tone, and protect against environmental damage. The Inkey List claims that this can help reduce excess oil, and it likely can, thanks to niacinamide’s ability to normalize the lining of pores, thus keeping excess oil from getting backed up, which stretches the pore.
In addition to niacinamide, this serum has hydrating glycerin, antioxidant- and fatty-acid rich squalane, skin-plumping hyaluronic acid, and skin-soothing allantoin.
