What it is

A serum that pairs mild exfoliating agents with niacinamide and hydrating humectants to smooth texture, reduce visible congestion, and leave skin fresh and comfortable.

Who it's for

• Normal, combination, or oily skin needing gentle pore and texture care.
• Those looking for a daily-to-few-times-weekly refining step that stays lightweight.
• Users comfortable with mild exfoliation in a watery serum format.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Gentle exfoliants (e.g., PHA/BHA blends) — cosmetic smoothing and pore care.
• Niacinamide — supports even tone appearance and barrier resilience.
• Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — attract and hold moisture.
• Soothing agents (e.g., panthenol/centella derivatives) — calm and buffer exfoliation.

Free-from / texture

• Watery-to-dewy serum; fast-absorbing, non-sticky finish.
• Generally low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
• Layers cleanly under moisturizer and sunscreen.

How to use & order

• After cleansing/toner, apply 1–2 pumps over face and neck.
• Use at night 2–4 times weekly to start; adjust frequency based on tolerance.
• Follow with moisturizer; apply sunscreen the next day.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Avoid same-routine use with strong acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide.
• Keep the rest of the routine hydrating and barrier-focused on exfoliation nights.
• Patch test if you have sensitive or compromised skin; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.

Evidence & notes

• Exfoliating effects are cosmetic; pore-smoothing is temporary and cosmetic.
• Niacinamide supports barrier resilience and even-looking tone with consistent use.
• Humectants provide plumping when sealed with moisturizer; sunscreen is essential when using exfoliants.

Safety

• For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Avoid applying on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
• Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
• Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
