Seoul Guide
After cleansing and toning, take 2-3 drops and massage into skin.
* It is not recommended to use strong acids in the same routine as niacinamide. Strong acids can result in the niacinamide changing to niacin which can result in red flushes.
**Remember to ALWAYS wear sunscreen in the daytime when trying to combat hyperpigmentation
***Niacinamide at high concentrations can be drying on the skin. Recommended to patch test before use as well as use sparingly.
Why we like it
This multitasking serum contains the highest percentage of niacinamide out of any of our curated products. The high concentration will assist to brighten your complexion and assist to combat hyperpigmentation, acne prone skin as well as excess sebum production which can lead to pronounced pores.
The serum also contains willow bark water, a natural BHA, which will assist with removing impurities and dead skin cells from your pores to achieve clearer and smoother skin.
Formulated with allantoin, the serum can also assist to soothe and brighten skin.
Ingredients we love
Niacinamide – Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide is a very effective skin-restoring ingredient that offers multiple benefits for ageing and acne-prone skin. Among these benefits is the ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores and uneven skin tone, diminish fine lines and dullness as well as strengthen a weakened skin barrier.
Allantoin – An ingredient that is gentle enough for sensitive skin and is anti-inflammatory and hydrating. It is also a powerful antioxidant and has wrinkle-smoothing and exfoliating properties.
Ingredient List – Water, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 20%), Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Zinc PCA, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Glycerin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate.

Guys… why isn’t anyone talking about how this serum obliterates breakouts?
I’ve had a few sample sachets that I neglected until now. Currently experiencing the worst breakout I’ve had in months. Tried the samples out of frustration and as a last resort and WOW 🙂 dried the pimples out overnight.
Fantastic!
Yes, it is strong and drying. Yes, use sparingly – perhaps better as a spot treatment.
I’m devastated that this is currently sold out.
