La Roche-Posay Pure Niacinamide Serum is a concentrated gel serum designed to care for skin suffering from hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne marks, uneven skin tone, and dullness. It helps reduce the appearance of spots, even out skin tone, enhance radiance, and support skin barrier repair while providing hydration and improving skin smoothness.

3. Spread evenly, focusing on areas with dark spots and uneven tone.
4. Massage or gently pat until the serum is absorbed.
5. Follow with a suitable moisturizing cream for your skin type.
6. Can be used morning and/or evening.
7. A small amount can be used on spots on the hands when needed.
8. In the morning, complete the routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends applying the serum after cleansing and before moisturizing cream so the skin can benefit from its high concentration of Niacinamide.
• For dark spots, apply the serum over the entire area instead of only on the spot to help improve overall tone evenness.
• If your skin is sensitive or not used to exfoliating formulas, start with once in the evening or every other day, then gradually increase use according to tolerance.
• Although HEPES provides gentle exfoliation, avoid overusing several strong exfoliants in the same routine if signs of dryness or irritation appear.
• If you use retinol or strong acids, they can be applied at different times of the day or on different days when the skin is sensitive.
• For dry skin, follow the serum immediately with a cream that supports the skin barrier to help lock in moisture.
• For oily skin and skin prone to breakouts, choose a lightweight, non-heavy moisturizer after the serum.
• Avoid relying on pigmentation serum without sun protection; daily sunscreen is one of the most important steps to help prevent the appearance of spots from increasing.
• On the hands, reapply sunscreen during continuous sun exposure to help maintain the results of the tone-evening routine.
• If persistent stinging, redness, or noticeable dryness appears, reduce the frequency of use and temporarily focus on hydration and supporting the skin barrier.
