The Niacinamide 15 Serum

Description

A niacinamide serum that helps control excess sebum to alleviate the symptoms of acne and decongest the pores

  • Niacinamide minimises the over-production of sebum, protects the skin barrier and brightens skin complexion minimising the occurrence of breakouts while reducing the appearance of blemishes and hyperpigmentation
  • N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG) clears the skin texture by gently exfoliating dead skin cells and rebalancing the skin's moisture. It works with Niacinamide to improve hyperpigmentation
  • Soothes and aids the recovery of damaged skin with Zinc PCA and Allantoin
  • Cruelty-free product with a formulation free of alcohol, artificial fragrance, essential oil and mineral oil

If you're experiencing issues with oiliness, dull skin, acne or hyperpigmentation you may consider this all skin type serum

  • How to use Cosrx The Niacinamide 15 Serum 20ml

    1. Start with a Clean and Toned Face: This serum should be applied after cleansing and toning your skin. Ensure your face is clean and dry to allow for optimal absorption.
    2. Conduct a Patch Test: As this is a high-concentration serum, we highly recommend performing a patch test first. Apply 1-2 drops to a discreet area (like behind your ear or on your inner wrist) and wait 24-48 hours to ensure your skin is comfortable with the formula.
    3. Dispense a Few Drops: Using the dropper, dispense 2-3 drops of the serum into the palm of your hand or directly onto your face. A little goes a long way.
    4. Apply Gently Across the Face: Lightly spread the serum over your entire face, avoiding the immediate eye and mouth areas. Gently pat the serum into your skin with your fingertips until it is fully absorbed. Do not rub vigorously.
    5. Focus on Areas of Concern: You can apply a little extra to areas where you are particularly concerned about acne, large pores, or excess oil, such as the T-zone.
    6. Allow to Absorb: Wait for a minute or two to allow the serum to fully penetrate the skin before proceeding with the next step in your routine.
    7. Follow with Moisturiser: Always follow up with a gentle, hydrating moisturiser. This helps to lock in the serum and keep your skin's moisture barrier supported.
    8. Use Sunscreen in the Morning: If you are using the serum in your morning routine, it is essential to finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

  • Integrating Cosrx The Niacinamide 15 Serum 20ml into Your Skincare Flow

    • As a Treatment Step: This serum should be applied after your toner/essence and before any heavier creams or oils.
    • Morning and/or Evening Use: It can be used in both your AM and PM routines. Using it in the morning can help control sebum production throughout the day.
    • Start Slowly: If you are new to high-concentration niacinamide, begin by using the serum just once a day, or every other day, to allow your skin to acclimate before increasing to twice-daily use.
    • The Perfect Partner for Acne-Prone Skin: This is an ideal serum for those with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin to manage breakouts, clogged pores, and post-inflammatory marks.
    • Can be Layered with Other Actives: It can generally be used alongside other ingredients like hyaluronic acid and even Vitamin C (though we recommend patch testing). If using with retinol, you may want to alternate their use if you have sensitive skin (e.g., Niacinamide in the AM, Retinol in the PM).

    Most common questions about Cosrx The Niacinamide 15 Serum 20ml

    What does the "15" in the name mean, and is it suitable for beginners?
    The "15" refers to the high concentration of 15% Niacinamide in the formula. While highly effective, this is a potent strength. If you have never used niacinamide before or have very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with a lower concentration (e.g., 5-10%) to build tolerance before moving up to this serum.

    What is the difference between this serum and other niacinamide products?
    This serum is a clinical-strength treatment specifically targeting acne-prone skin. Beyond the high 15% niacinamide concentration for sebum control and brightening post-acne marks, it is also formulated with Zinc PCA to help calm active breakouts and N-Acetylglucosamine (NAG) which works synergistically with niacinamide to gently exfoliate and smooth skin texture.

    Can this serum help with blackheads and large pores?
    Yes. Niacinamide is excellent for managing pore-related concerns. By regulating sebum production, it helps prevent pores from becoming clogged with excess oil, which can lead to blackheads. This regulation can also help to improve the appearance of enlarged pores, making them look tighter and less prominent over time.

    Is it normal to experience a tingling sensation when applying this serum?
    A mild and temporary tingling or warming sensation can be a normal reaction for some individuals, especially when first introducing a high-concentration niacinamide product into their routine. This should subside within a few moments. If you experience persistent redness, stinging, or burning, you should discontinue use.

    Can I use this serum with Vitamin C or AHA/BHA products?
    Modern formulations of Niacinamide and Vitamin C are generally safe to use together. However, if you have sensitive skin, you may prefer to use them at different times of the day (e.g., Vitamin C in the AM, Niacinamide in the PM). The same applies to potent exfoliants like AHA and BHA; alternating their use with this serum can be a gentler approach to avoid over-stimulating the skin.
