About this formula
Niacinamide is one of the few ingredients that does several useful things at once, which is why it appears at 10% in serums that then make skin flush and peel. Five percent is the concentration the studies actually support, and it is the point where the benefits arrive without the irritation.
It steadies oil production, so the T-zone stops flooding by lunchtime, and it strengthens the barrier, which is usually what is broken in skin that breaks out and stings at the same time. Alongside it, four percent azelaic acid works on redness and on the brown marks that stay long after a spot has gone.
This is the serum that makes an acne routine sustainable. It sits comfortably with the Clarifying Gel Cleanser and, on alternate nights, with the Retinal Renewal Treatment.
Key benefits
- Oil under control across the T-zone within about two weeks
- Pores look smaller as congestion clears
- Azelaic acid fades post-acne marks and calms redness
- Strengthens the barrier so actives become easier to tolerate

What people say about the Niacinamide Clarity Serum
I am thirty-four and had adult acne for six years. The clarifying cleanser and the niacinamide serum together got me to the point where I have maybe one spot a month. I have stopped buying things at two in the morning, which is its own kind of relief.
My skin is oily and dehydrated at the same time, which every shop assistant has told me is impossible. The niacinamide serum under the barrier cream sorted it in about three weeks.
