Pore Perfect – Niacinamide Serum (10%)

Introduction
Struggling with oiliness, breakouts, or enlarged pores? Science says 10% niacinamide might be the multitasker your skin is craving. This blog dives into the evidence-backed benefits of this powerhouse ingredient—especially when paired with actives like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, tea tree extract, and hyaluronic acid as found in Pore Perfect.

What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3, a water-soluble nutrient that supports skin barrier function, regulates sebum, and brightens skin tone. Its versatility and gentleness make it ideal for daily use—even at higher concentrations like 10%.

Why 10% Niacinamide Is the Sweet Spot
A 2021 review in Dermatologic Therapy found that niacinamide at concentrations between 4–10% significantly reduced hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and pore size. At 10%, it delivers stronger results without compromising skin barrier integrity.

Paired Ingredients for Enhanced Results

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates deep into pores to break down sebum and prevent breakouts.
• Glycolic Acid (AHA): Exfoliates surface dead skin cells, revealing smoother texture.
• Tea Tree Extract: Natural antimicrobial that soothes inflammation and fights acne-causing bacteria.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides hydration and supports the skin barrier—important when using exfoliating acids.

What the Research Says

• A 12-week randomized clinical trial published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology showed that 10% niacinamide improved skin texture and clarity in participants with mild to moderate acne.
• Another 2020 meta-analysis in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology demonstrated that 10% niacinamide consistently reduced pore size and sebum levels.

Why It's Essential in Your Routine
Daily stressors like pollution, excess oil, and hormonal fluctuations can wreak havoc on your skin. The 10% niacinamide blend in Pore Perfect acts as a barrier stabilizer, oil regulator, and breakout fighter—all in one.

For Best Results
Use Pore Perfect serum on clean, dry skin after toner. Let it absorb before applying moisturizer or SPF. Daily use—especially in the AM—is key for visible results in 3–4 weeks.
