Inside the formula
Kadar's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a serum: water-based built around Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. It is dosed to work, printed on the front, and made without added fragrance or filler. Visibly reduces excess shine within one week of twice-daily use.*
A form of vitamin B3, water-soluble and one of the best-studied actives in skincare. Every skin type. Especially oily, congestion-prone and uneven skin.
Niacinamide: Regulates oil, supports the barrier, evens tone and reduces the look of pores. A true all-rounder that plays well with almost everything.
What’s in it, and why
Niacinamide: Vitamin B3; regulates oil, evens tone, supports the barrier
Zinc PCA: Zinc salt; helps control oil and soothe
How it works
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that supports the skin’s own production of barrier lipids and helps regulate sebum. It calms the look of redness, refines the appearance of pores and helps even tone, which is why it suits almost every skin type.
