Balancing Niacinamide Blemish Recovery Serum Calm & Clear 15% (30ml) ✅ What it is — Description & Purpose
This serum is formulated with 15% niacinamide (vitamin B3), a “hero” skincare ingredient known for a range of skin benefits.
It’s marketed as a “blemish recovery” serum — designed to help people with blemish-prone, oily, acne-prone or combination skin.
Its goals: to reduce blemishes, control oil/sebum, soothe irritation or redness, improve skin texture, and help even out skin tone / fade dark spots or pigmentation.
The formula is water-based, lightweight and non-greasy / non-sticky, which helps it absorb quickly and layer well under moisturizer or sunscreen.
🧴 Format & How to Use It
The serum comes in a 30 ml bottle.
Usage instructions (typical):
Cleanse your face first (gently, with a mild cleanser).
Apply a few drops (2–3 drops) of the serum to your face and neck. Gently smooth it over until absorbed.
Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
If you apply it in the morning, make sure to follow with sunscreen — niacinamide can make skin more vulnerable to sun effects.
You can use it once or twice daily (morning and/or night), depending on your skin’s tolerance.
🌟 What It Does — Benefits & What to Expect
With consistent and proper use, this serum may offer:
Reduced blemishes and fewer breakouts, because niacinamide helps regulate sebum (oil) production and has properties that support clearer skin.
Improved skin texture and smoother skin, as the serum helps refine uneven texture and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
More even skin tone and faded post-acne dark spots / hyperpigmentation, with niacinamide working to gently brighten and reduce discoloration over time.
Reduced redness and irritation, especially if your skin tends to get inflamed from breakouts — niacinamide can help soothe.
A lighter, non-greasy finish that layers nicely under moisturizer or sunscreen, making it suitable even in humid climates (like Lagos).
Results generally become visible with regular use over weeks — skin may gradually become clearer, smoother, more balanced, and with fewer blemishes or marks.
💡 Suggestions & How to Include It in a Routine — What Works Best
Use it after cleansing (and toning, if you use a toner) and before moisturizer — that gives the serum space to absorb and do its work.
Because it’s lightweight and non-greasy, it works well under moisturizer or sunscreen — you can use it morning and/or night.
If your skin is new to active ingredients like niacinamide (especially at 15 %), start once daily (night-time is often gentler) to test tolerance.
Pair with a gentle, non-harsh cleanser and a mild moisturizer — avoid using too many strong/exfoliating products at the same time to prevent over-irritation.
In a climate like Lagos (hot, humid), this serum’s light consistency makes it good — but always use sunscreen during the day to protect skin, especially if targeting pigmentation or blemishes.
⚠️ What to Watch Out For — Precautions & Potential Downsides
15% niacinamide is fairly high strength. While many users tolerate it well, for some it might be too strong — causing irritation or sensitivity, especially if skin is sensitive or if you’re using other active treatments (e.g. strong acids, retinoids).
If you’re new to niacinamide or have sensitive skin, consider patch-testing first (on a small area) before applying to full face.
Overuse (e.g. layering with other strong actives, or using too frequently) may lead to dryness, irritation or skin barrier disruption — so use as recommended.
As with any active skincare, consistency and patience are key. Improvement takes time (weeks), not overnight.
Because it helps reduce oil and regulate sebum — if you already have very dry skin, make sure you follow with a good moisturizer to avoid dryness.
