Karrot Cosmetics Niacinamide Face Serum Kojic Acid | Brightening Serum for Dark Spot Skin Care | 30ml

Niacinamide Face Serum for Post-Acne Marks and Uneven Tone

Karrot Cosmetics Niacinamide Face Serum combines niacinamide, kojic acid, mulberry, liquorice root, carrot seed and saffron extracts in a lightweight 30ml formula. It is designed to support a brighter, more even-looking complexion and smoother-looking texture without a heavy or greasy finish.

People searching for a face serum for acne scars may mean post-acne dark marks. Niacinamide and kojic acid can support the appearance of uneven pigmentation, but a cosmetic serum cannot remove indented, raised or deep textural scars. Those forms of scarring may require assessment and procedures from a qualified dermatologist.

Niacinamide Serum Benefits

• Supports an even-looking tone: niacinamide, kojic acid, mulberry and liquorice root complement a dark-mark and dullness routine.
• Helps improve visible texture: consistent skincare can support smoother, more refined-looking skin.
• Supports the skin barrier: niacinamide helps maintain healthy barrier function and moisture balance.
• Lightweight daily format: the serum absorbs quickly and layers under moisturiser and sunscreen.
• Hydration support: betaine and conditioning ingredients help maintain skin comfort.

Is Niacinamide an Acid?

The phrase niacinamide acid serum is commonly searched, but niacinamide itself is not an exfoliating acid. It is a form of vitamin B3. This formula separately contains kojic acid, an ingredient used in pigmentation-focused skincare. Knowing the difference helps prevent accidental overuse of multiple active products.

Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide: supports barrier function, balanced-looking oil levels and a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
• Kojic acid: used in brightening routines to support the appearance of uneven pigmentation.
• Mulberry and liquorice root extracts: botanical ingredients included in the tone-evening blend.
• Carrot seed extract: an antioxidant-focused botanical in Karrot's formulation.
• Saffron extract: included in the product's radiance-focused ingredient blend.
• Betaine: helps support hydration and skin comfort.

How to Use Niacinamide Face Serum

1. Patch-test before the first full application.
2. Cleanse with a suitable product from the face wash collection.
3. Apply two or three drops to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eyes and lips.
4. Allow the serum to absorb, then use a suitable face moisturiser.
5. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and reapply as directed.

Start once daily or every other day according to skin tolerance. Avoid introducing several strong brightening or exfoliating actives at the same time. Browse the complete face serum collection for additional options.

Who Should Use Extra Caution?

Do not apply to broken, actively irritated or infected skin. Stop use if persistent burning, swelling or redness develops. People using prescription acne or pigmentation treatments should ask their dermatologist before combining this serum with those products.
