The Garden Of Wisdom Niacinamide Serum
Works for
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Pantothenic acid + 2 moreWorks well
“It also contains Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), which binds to moisture, acting as a natural hydrator that improves your skin's softness and elasticity.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sodium lactate, caprylyl glycol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Evens skin toneNiacinamideWorks well
“Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Serum is lightweight and effectively penetrates the skin to regulate sebum (oil) activity, improve the appearance of pores, prevent skin conditions, blemishes and breakouts and lessen dark spots and an uneven skin tone.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
