Great for brightening dark spots

Love the ingredients in this serum. I use it morning and night to get right of my dark spots, especially when I have leftover scars or hyperpigmentation from pimple picking. I make sure to wear plenty of sunblock though when I use it. It’s not too sticky and my sensitive skin doesn’t get irritated from it.

Satisfying Results

This serum contains 10% niacinamide and 1% zinc, and I genuinely love it. It has noticeably shrunk the appearance of my pores and helped my skin heal faster during the postpartum period, which has made a big difference for me. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly. It dries down nicely without feeling sticky. It works beautifully in my nighttime routine and pairs well with a lightweight moisturizer. Simple, effective, and results, this serum has become a staple in my routine.

Effective Oil-Control Serum for Clearer, More Balanced Skin

Lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that really helps balance the skin. With regular use, it noticeably reduces excess oil, minimizes the look of pores, and helps calm small breakouts. The texture isn’t sticky, layers well under moisturizer and makeup, and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. After a few weeks, the skin looks clearer, more even, and healthier overall. A solid choice for oily or combination skin, especially if you’re dealing with occasional breakouts.

Not my favorite niacinamide but not bad

Been using this for a few weeks now and haven’t noticed major changes. Not sure what the zinc addition is supposed to help with. I do think I like other niacinamide serums more but this one wasn’t bad. No scent, not too sticky, good absorption just minimal results. Possibly better results with long term use. However, don’t think I would necessarily go out of my way to purchase.

Skin Perfecter

Been loving the Skin Republic Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum lately ✨
It’s super lightweight, sinks in fast, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky or heavy. I’ve noticed less oil, calmer breakouts, and my skin just looks more balanced overall. Such an easy serum to layer morning or night too 💧
If you’ve got oily or acne-prone skin and want something simple that actually works, this one’s worth a try 💙
