I tried a 'Niacinamide' serum and it reduced my spots overnight

The INKEY List ‘Niacinamide’ serum promises to ‘reduce the appearance of redness and blemishes’ and for me it did just that.

For a few years now I’ve been a bit of a skincare fanatic, keen to try new products to find the best one for my skin. I’ve struggled with my skin for a long time, if it’s not hormonal blemishes it’s dull looking skin desperate for a deep cleanse.

I’ve been using different serums for a good few months now and I definitely see the difference when I forget to put it on or run out of a tub. This month, my latest holy grail is the INKEY List ‘Niacinamide’ serum, priced at £8 on ASOS. I can’t rave about this product enough.

The serum helps to control excess oil and is said to reduce the appearance of redness and blemishes. I like to apply it after I’ve used my cleanser, along with a Hyaluronic acid.

It has no real scent to it and is really easy to smooth into your face once cleaned. The best part? It dries really quickly so it doesn’t leave your face feeling sticky and tacky.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t have overly high hopes for a product that claims to minimise blemishes, purely because I really struggle with mine. But with this product, I instantly noticed how much my spots had reduced in the mirror - I was pretty gobsmacked!

Don’t get me wrong, they hadn’t completely disappeared, that would’ve been a miracle, but they certainly appeared less red. Although you only get 30ml in a bottle, it’s enough to last you plenty of time because you really don’t need much.

I’d definitely brand this serum a ‘miracle in a small bottle’ because it worked absolute wonders overnight for me. You can purchase the serum here.
