A highly effective form of Vitamin B3, which works to reduce the appearance of blemishes, acne and most notably, minimises enlarged pores. This occurs because of Niacinamide's ability to reduce the overproduction of sebum (your skin’s nasty oils that cause enlarged pores). By balancing the sebum production, your pores will appear smaller, less “stretched” and result in a softer and smoother skin texture. It will further reduce inflammation and moderate acne through its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Niacinamide helps to strengthen your skin by increasing your own collagen and hyaluronic acid production. It improves your skin’s barrier and locks in moisture and hydration - reducing signs of ageing, plumps fine lines, and significantly lessens skin discolouration.
If you are prone to redness or inflammation, Niacinamide is the perfect ingredient. It is beneficial for calming rosacea and fading sun spots, hyperpigmentation and melasma. It also protects your skin from free radicals, environmental damage and oxidative stress.
It’s very compatible with many other active ingredients (such as Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen) so you can incorporate it into your routine easily. Just cannot be mixed or used at the same time as Vitamin-C (conflicting pH levels) so alternate morning and night, or as desired.
MERME Facial Pore-Refining Powder is pure Niacinamide - a form of vitamin B3, an essential nutrient. This water-soluble vitamin works with the natural substances in your skin to most notably help visibly minimise enlarged pores and improve skin texture.
MERME Quality Promise: MERME leaves the vitamin B3 powder just as it should - in its natural white colour, with a neutral odour - without added fragrances or preservatives. Non-comedogenic, no: phthalates, surfactants, petrolatums, BHT, BHA, silicones, parabens, PEGs, sulfates (SLS/SLES), GMOs, mineral oils, synthetic colours, or animal testing.
Directions:
In order to penetrate into your skin, MERME Pore-Refining Powder must be completely dissolved with a facial mist, clean water or water-based treatment (like the Facial Hydration Serum). Dilute one scoop with 3 sprays of mist or 10 drops of water in your palm and mix until completely dissolved. Do not mix with an oil as it will not dissolve properly. A tingling sensation may occur in the first 1-2 weeks. We recommend using a test patch first. Do not mix with Vitamin-C or formulations with a pH of 5 or lower. Avoid contact with eyes or wounds. If irritation occurs discontinue use. Store at room temperature, avoid moisture and keep the lid tightly on. Suitable for all skin types.
How to Use: For maximum benefits, dissolve in water, a facial mist or water-soluble serum and apply to cleansed skin. Then follow with your serums, oils or moisturisers. Niacinamide is also great in your AM routine for extra UV protection (SPF is still recommended).
BONUS TIP: Follow with Facial Collagen Serum to maximise your own skin's collagen regulation and production. Niacinamide helps to produce collagen, which is the protein that enhances your skin's plumpness, elasticity and youthful radiance.
How Does it Fit in Your Routine?
Morning: Apply after you have cleansed and toned. Dissolve the Niacinamide powder in water, facial spray or a water-soluble treatment (like the Facial Hydration Serum). Apply the solution to your face, then follow with you any other serum, oil and SPF.
Evening: Use after your cleansers, exfoliants and toners. Mix the Niacinamide with water and apply to your face to give all that Vitamin-B goodness to your skin. Follow with any other serums and oils.
