What it is

A brightening, calming ampoule that blends niacinamide and centella actives with humectants to improve the appearance of dullness, support even-looking tone, and soothe skin without heaviness.

Who it's for

  • Dull or uneven-looking skin seeking brightening with gentle soothing.
  • Normal, combination, or oily skin preferring a light, quick-absorbing serum.
  • Routines that layer calming hydration under sunscreen or makeup.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Niacinamide — cosmetic brightening, tone-evening, and barrier support.
  • Centella-derived soothers (e.g., Madecassoside/Asiaticoside derivatives) — help calm and comfort skin feel.
  • Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid, glycerin) — attract and hold moisture for a dewy finish.
  • Soothing agents (e.g., panthenol/allantoin) — buffer actives and support comfort.

Free-from / texture

  • Light, water-gel texture with suspended brightening capsules; absorbs quickly.
  • Low oil content; check INCI for fragrance if sensitive.
  • Non-sticky finish suitable for day or night layering.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing/toner, apply 1–2 pumps over face and neck on slightly damp skin.
  • Use morning and/or night; follow with moisturizer and daytime sunscreen.
  • Layer a second pass on areas of dullness if needed before sealing with cream.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most routines; if using strong acids/retinoids, alternate days if sensitive.
  • Keep support steps hydrating and barrier-focused when using multiple brightening products.
  • Patch test if reactive to niacinamide, centella derivatives, or humectant-rich formulas.

Evidence & notes

  • Brightness and tone-evening effects are cosmetic; consistent use is needed to maintain appearance.
  • Niacinamide supports barrier resilience and a more even-looking tone over time.
  • Humectants provide temporary plumping; seal with moisturizer to reduce transepidermal water loss.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
  • Avoid applying on broken or freshly exfoliated skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
