PRODUCT INFORMATION

Post-acne marks linger due to excess melanin, inflammation, and slow skin renewal. /PHD/’s 10% Niacinamide Spot Correcting Serum is designed to break this cycle. Niacinamide regulates oil and minimizes pores, NAG accelerates skin repair, and Arbutin works to fade dark spots for a visibly clearer, more even complexion. Formulated for oily and acne-prone skin, it repairs without irritation—so you see results, not side effects.

Do's

  • Apply on Clean, Dry Skin: Use the serum after cleansing and before moisturizing for maximum absorption.
  • Use Daily: Niacinamide is gentle enough for daily use, even twice a day (morning and night), if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Layer Wisely: It pairs well with most ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and ceramides.
  • Follow with Sunscreen: If used in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF.
  • Be Consistent: Results can take a few weeks, so regular use is key to seeing visible improvements in marks and oil regulation.

Don’t

  • Don’t Mix with Low pH Acids Immediately: Avoid applying niacinamide right after strong AHAs/BHAs or Vitamin C to reduce chances of flushing or temporary irritation.
  • Don’t Overuse: A little goes a long way, using too much product won’t speed up results and can overload the skin.
  • Don’t Skip Moisturizer: Always follow with a good moisturizer to lock in hydration and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Don’t Expect Overnight Results: Niacinamide works gradually—be patient and give it at least 4–6 weeks for post-acne marks and oil regulation to improve visibly.
  • Don’t Use on Broken or Inflamed Skin: Wait until active wounds or inflamed acne calm down before applying.

Got questions?

Not quite — Niacinamide does work, but with some limitations when used alone.

It’s a clinically backed ingredient that:

- Reduces excess oil and redness
- Improves skin barrier function
- Minimizes the appearance of pores
- Gently fades mild pigmentation

However, when used as a standalone, it may not be enough to target stubborn dark spots, post-acne marks, or deeper pigmentation — especially for Indian skin tones prone to PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

That’s why the /PHD/ 10% Niacinamide Spot Correcting Serum is designed with complementary actives:

2% NAG – Speeds up cell turnover and boosts niacinamide’s performance
Arbutin – Inhibits melanin production for more targeted brightening
Tripeptide-1 – Helps rebuild damaged skin from past breakout

Yes, a slight change in colour over time can be completely normal, especially for serums that contain active ingredients. Exposure to light, air, or temperature fluctuations can cause natural shifts — but this doesn’t impact the safety or efficacy of the product. At /PHD/, we rigorously stability-test every formulation to ensure it performs as intended, even with these minor changes.

Yes, it's completely normal — and it’s not a sign of a faulty product or irritation.

The foaming you may notice while rubbing in the serum happens because of a combination of humectants and light-textured ingredients in the formula. This serum contains hydrating agents like Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Pentylene Glycol, and Sodium PCA — these are designed to attract water and help the product spread easily across your skin.

When you apply the serum to damp skin or rub it in quickly, these ingredients can trap tiny air bubbles, creating a light foam or lather effect. It’s especially common in water-based serums with high niacinamide concentrations (like 10%).

/PHD/ Council Tip: To reduce foaming, apply 2–3 drops and gently pat the serum into your skin rather than rubbing it in vigorously. You’ll still get all the benefits — without the bubbles.

Helped Balance My Oily Skin Without Dryness

My skin’s always been on the oilier side and most stuff either dries it out or does nothing. This one’s been a solid middle ground, oil’s under control and my skin texture’s improved too.

Let's see if it delivers as well!
