St.Ives Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub & Mask

Tiam Vita B3 Source is a lightweight, hydrating serum designed to brighten the skin, reduce dark spots, and even out the complexion. Niacinamide, the primary active ingredient, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to boost the skin’s natural barrier function. This serum also helps to regulate oil production and improve skin texture, making it suitable for those with combination or oily skin. Additionally, it hydrates and calms the skin, providing a smooth, refreshed appearance.

Benefits:

• Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Niacinamide helps to lighten hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a brighter, more uniform complexion.
• Reduces Redness and Inflammation: The serum has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness, irritation, and blemishes, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
• Improves Skin Texture: Niacinamide helps to improve skin texture by strengthening the skin barrier and promoting smoother skin.
• Hydrates the Skin: The serum contains ingredients that help maintain the skin's moisture balance, keeping it hydrated and plump.
• Controls Excess Oil Production: It can help balance oil production, making it beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
• Anti-Aging Properties: Niacinamide can also stimulate collagen production, which may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

How to Use:

• Cleanse Your Skin: Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
• Apply Toner (Optional): You may apply a toner to balance your skin's pH level before applying the serum, though this step is optional.
• Apply the Serum: Dispense a few drops of Tiam Vita B3 Source onto your fingertips and gently pat it onto your face and neck. Focus on areas with uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation.
• Massage into Skin: Lightly massage the serum into the skin until fully absorbed. This should be done gently to avoid irritation.
• Follow with Moisturizer: After the serum is absorbed, apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration and keep the skin soft and nourished.
• Use Daily: For best results, use the serum twice a day (morning and evening). During the day, follow up with sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

Tips:

• Start Slowly: If you’ve never used niacinamide before, start by using the serum once a day, gradually increasing to twice a day as your skin builds tolerance.
• Patch Test First: If you have sensitive skin, it’s a good idea to perform a patch test before using the serum on your entire face to ensure you don't experience irritation.
• Use Sunscreen: Niacinamide helps brighten the skin and even out pigmentation, but it can also make your skin more susceptible to sun damage. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
• Combine with Other Skincare: Tiam Vita B3 Source can be easily incorporated into most skincare routines. However, avoid combining it with products that may irritate the skin, such as those with high concentrations of vitamin C, as this can cause sensitivity.
• Be Patient: Like most skincare products, it may take a few weeks to notice visible results. Consistent use over time is key to achieving brighter, more even skin.
