The core formula contains 10% niacinamide (vitamin B3), along with caffeine, adenosine, panthenol, allantoin, and botanical humectants. These ingredients are blended to help manage uneven skin tone, improve hydration, reduce oiliness, and strengthen the skin’s barrier. The fragrance-free formula also harnesses antioxidants like tocopherol to protect skin from daily stress, and is gentle enough for sensitive users.​

The Face Shop niacinamide range is designed to target enlarged pores, excess oil, dullness, and uneven pigmentation. Niacinamide works to visibly refine pore size, calm redness, and control shine, while caffeine and adenosine help fight puffiness and signs of fatigue. With regular use, skin feels smoother, more balanced, and looks refreshed and radiant.

For optimal effects, use the serum after cleansing and toning, morning and night. Apply a few drops to your face and gently pat until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer. Consistent use helps build a stronger barrier, improve hydration, and minimize oil, making it an ideal addition for pore-care routines or for prepping skin before makeup.
