1. Balances Oil and Reduces Breakouts
Niacinamide controls sebum (oil) production. Oily skin often leads to clogged pores and acne. This serum helps balance oil levels without drying out the skin.
It also soothes inflammation, making active breakouts look less red and angry. According to a study published in the International Journal of Dermatology, 4% niacinamide reduced acne significantly in 8 weeks.
Simplist.pk’s Niacinamide serum is specially formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. It helps control shine and reduces the chances of new pimples.
2. Fades Dark Spots and Brightens Skin Tone
Niacinamide reduces pigmentation and fades old acne marks. It blocks the transfer of melanin (dark pigment) to the skin’s surface.
This helps fade dark spots and gives your skin a more even tone. Consistent use can visibly reduce hyperpigmentation in just a few weeks.
Simplist.pk’s Niacinamide serum gently brightens the skin, giving you a clear and radiant complexion over time.
3. Strengthens the Skin Barrier
Your skin barrier protects against dryness, pollution, and bacteria. Niacinamide boosts the skin’s natural ceramide production, keeping the barrier healthy.
A strong barrier means less sensitivity, less redness, and better hydration. If your skin often feels tight, flaky, or irritated, niacinamide can help restore balance.
Simplist.pk’s formula is lightweight and non-irritating — ideal for daily use, even on sensitive skin.
