Target Concerns

• Oily and combination skin struggling with excess sebum and midday grease.

• Highly visible, enlarged, or congested pores.

• Stubborn hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

• Frequent breakouts and minor skin imperfections.

How to Use

1. Cleanse & Tone: Start with a freshly cleansed face and apply a hydrating toner.

2. Apply: Dispense 2–3 drops of the serum directly onto your face or fingertips.

3. Massage: Gently massage the serum over your skin, focusing particularly on your T-zone, cheeks, or areas with enlarged pores and dark spots.

4. Pat to Absorb: Lightly pat until the water-like texture is fully absorbed into the deeper layers of your skin.

5. Seal: Always follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the hydration and active ingredients.

Pro Tips for Pakistani Skin

• Beat the Monsoon Grease: Pakistan's intense humidity often sends oil production into overdrive. Using this serum every morning will act as a built-in oil controller, keeping your face looking fresh and matte even in the sweltering heat.

• The Flawless Shadi Base: Enlarged pores can cause heavy wedding foundations to look dotted or textured. Start using this serum a month before your events to tighten your pores, creating an incredibly smooth, airbrushed canvas for your makeup.

• Targeted Spot Treatment: If you do not have oily skin overall but struggle with a greasy T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), you can apply this serum exclusively to those areas to perfectly balance your combination skin without drying out your cheeks.

Cautions

• High Concentration Acclimation: Because 15% Niacinamide is a potent, clinical-strength dose, we recommend using it every other day initially if you are new to Niacinamide, gradually building up to daily use as your skin builds tolerance.

• Avoid Mixing: Do not mix or layer this highly concentrated serum in the exact same routine with pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) or strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) to prevent barrier irritation. Keep your routine simple!

• Sun Protection: Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen during the day to protect your newly brightened skin from UV damage.
