The Shine Meter

What 10% niacinamide actually does to oil production, over time.

Sebum regulation isn't instant — it's cumulative. Tap a timepoint to see what's happening beneath the surface at each stage of consistent use.

100% baseline shine
Low oilHigh oil
Day 1 — Baseline. Sebaceous glands are producing oil at their normal, unregulated rate. This is your skin before niacinamide starts influencing lipid synthesis at the cellular level.
Why It Works

Four mechanisms. One serum.

Every claim here maps to a specific, studied mechanism of niacinamide on skin — not a vague "glow" promise.

01

Sebum Control

Regulates lipid synthesis at the sebaceous gland, reducing excess oil without stripping skin's natural moisture.

02

Pore Clarity

Supports even keratinization, helping prevent the buildup that makes pores look larger over time.

03

Barrier Repair

Boosts ceramide synthesis in the stratum corneum, reducing water loss and easing sensitivity.

04

Even Tone

Calms visible redness and post-blemish marks by supporting a stronger, more resilient skin barrier.

How to Use

One serum. Two simple routines.

No complicated layering rules — just cleanse, serum, moisturize, and (in the morning) protect.

AM ROUTINE
1

Cleanse

Gentle, non-stripping cleanser on damp skin.

2

Serum

3–4 drops of Niacinamide 10%, pressed in.

3

Moisturize

Lock in hydration before sun exposure.

4

SPF

Non-negotiable — apply 30+ every morning.

PM ROUTINE
1

Cleanse

Remove SPF, makeup, and the day's buildup.

2

Serum

3–4 drops on dry skin, before heavier creams.

3

Moisturize

Seal the barrier while you sleep.

4

Rest

Give actives 2–4 weeks before judging results.

10%
CONCENTRATION, NOT A GIMMICK
Why 10%, specifically

The concentration where niacinamide actually earns its reputation.

  • Below 2% — minimal measurable effect on sebum or barrier function.
  • 4–5% — the range most studies use to show visible pore and tone improvement.
  • 10% — a higher-strength formulation for stubborn oiliness and visible congestion, still well-tolerated by most skin types.
  • Above ~12–20% — diminishing returns, with rising risk of flushing or irritation for sensitive skin.

Common Questions

Before you add to cart

Will this serum cause purging?+

Some users see a brief, temporary increase in visible texture during the first 2–3 weeks as skin cell turnover adjusts. This typically resolves on its own — if irritation persists past 6 weeks, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?+

10% is a higher strength than most sensitive-skin formulas. We recommend patch testing on your inner arm for 24 hours first, and introducing it every other night before daily use.

Do I need sunscreen with this?+

Yes — always. Niacinamide doesn't increase photosensitivity itself, but any active-ingredient skincare routine should be paired with daily SPF 30+.

Can I layer this with retinol or vitamin C?+

Retinol: yes, apply niacinamide first and wait 10–15 minutes. Low-pH vitamin C: keep them on separate days, since low pH can temporarily destabilize niacinamide.

How long until I see results?+

Most people notice reduced shine within 2–4 weeks of daily use. Barrier and tone improvements typically follow around 4–6 weeks. Full details are in the included guide.
