FAQ
<strong>Should I use the 10% Niacinamide Booster, the CLINICAL Niacinamide 20% Treatment or both?</strong>
<br>For most, using one or the other is all that is needed. For those with milder pore concerns or who haven’t tried a highly concentrated niacinamide product, 10% is best. For those with especially stubborn concerns, 20% is best. If the severity of your skin concerns varies over your entire face, we suggest experimenting with both products.
<br><br>
<strong>How does 10% Niacinamide Booster visibly tighten enlarged pores?</strong>
<br>Niacinamide has research showing improvement in skin’s firmness and normal pore function. As the skin ages, the pore wall is damaged, and stretches as skin’s supportive structure depletes, resulting in enlarged pores that may or may not become clogged. Niacinamide restores some normal pore function, visibly firms and smooths which improve skin’s texture.

<strong>Is 10% Niacinamide Booster suitable for sensitive skin?</strong>
<br>While niacinamide is a potent ingredient, we’ve formulated this booster with additional skin-soothing ingredients like allantoin, boerhavia diffusa root and licorice extract, so many people with sensitive skin have used it successfully with beautiful results. If you are concerned, patch test it first by applying it in a small area or mix it in into any non-SPF product for a few days to see how your skin responds.

Performing an average of the scores from the five attributes, the serum has proven to enhance skin tone and skin texture. It is also very easy to use, non-greasy, and suitable for every day’s treatment for your skin. I can now notice that my skin complexion has improved and does look natural!
These few times, I noticed that the size of the pores on my face is reduced and my face feels smoother. Its derivative is non-greasy, and thereafter, what’s left behind has a clean and luminous effect on my skin.
A versatile product that minimised breakouts and improved the feel of my skin. Particularly recommended!
This booster has helped my complexion to be more even, and my pores become less apparent. Love the output!
I have noticed that my skin has become softer and glowing due to this niacinamide booster. It’s not as strong as some of the other products that I’ve tried and I like the texture of it against my face.
