Where the ingredient on the front of the box really sits on the back, read from the published lists rather than the marketing.
The product is sold as a hyaluronic acid and ceramide cream. On the published list, niacinamide sits fifth, and the first four slots are water and humectants: butylene glycol, glycerin and propanediol. That base is the engine of this product.
This is a genuinely active exfoliant, not a gentle daily pad. Lactic acid sits fourth and salicylic acid ninth of 47.
It is sold as a vitamin C moisturizer. On the published list the vitamin C derivative sits 43rd of 61, while niacinamide sits fourth.
It is sold as a PDRN and collagen cream, but the working part of the formula is at the top: niacinamide sits third, straight after water and glycerin. That is a genuinely strong position for the range's favorite brightening active.
The headline is honest about one of its two names. Niacinamide sits third of 62, and the manufacturer's list declares it at 50,000 ppm, which is 5% and matches the 5% on the Amazon listing. That is a full working dose, behind only water and glycerin.
