## Key benefits

- Niacinamide, the active this serum is built around
- Zinc PCA on the same list, an active

- Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract and Saururus Chinensis Extract further down the same list
- Trehalose further down the same list

## How it works

The 15% Niacinamide Purity Serum is a 30ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named third on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Zinc PCA, Rice Ferment Filtrate and Tocopherol, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Dr.Althea sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.

## How to use

1. Use the 15% Niacinamide Purity Serum after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
2. Three or four drops covers the whole face. Press it in with flat palms instead of rubbing it around.
3. Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
4. Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.

## FAQ

### Where does this serum go in my routine?

After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Niacinamide and not three changes at once.

### Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?

The Korean-market one, Niacinamide and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.

### Does this serum contain fragrance?

Yes. The ingredient list names Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this serum is not the one.

### What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?

Zinc PCA, Rice Ferment Filtrate and Tocopherol. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract and Saururus Chinensis Extract.
