Derma Co. 10% Niacinamide serum
In this post, I'll be sharing The Derma Co. 10% Niacinamide Face Serum Review. I got it online after hearing lot of Hype avout this product in Social Media. I have tried it now so that I can give you a product review. It has high concentration of Niacinamide along with Zinc. Let's have a look about this product but first let's discuss what exactly is a Niacinamide?..
What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide or Nicotinamide is one of the 2 active forms of Vitamin B3. This Viatmin B3 is called Niacin, which is the building block of active ingredient present in many over-the-counter products available to treat various skin issues. This is a water-soluble product and thus, many products such as moisturiser, face washes, serums, gels have Niacinamide as a primary ingredient.

Benfits of Niacinamide for Skin
Niacinamide can acts as a great one-stop solution for all your skin concerns. Let's have a look to its benefits for the skin;
1. Helps in Reducing Bacterial Activity
Being a Microbiologist, I can tell you that our skin is a home for millions of micro- organisms which are beneficial for our system. But due to sudden changes in our immunity or pH level.of our skin, makes some of these microbes in a violent state which leads to over growth of these bacteria, that in result leads to various skin issues such as acne, breakouts, pimples, etc. The primary bacteria responsible is Propionibacterium acnes. This is naturally present on our skin surface, but due to changes in pH , this bacterium grows exponentially and results in acne formation.
By using Niacinamide into the skin, helps in reduction of these bacterial growth which eventually helps in reducing acne, acne scars, breakouts, pimples etc.
2. Lowers Sebum Production
Our skin produces it natural oil to help maintain the moisture and protect the skin. But, in many cases, excess production of sebum due to trapping of pores or simply clogging of pores, leads to acne, breakouts, blackheads, blemishes.
Niacinamide helps in controlling facial sebum production. Thereby, leading to less acne, blemish formation.
3. Increase Ceramides
Ceramides generally keep epidermal barrier and lipid layer intact to ensure moisture and suppleness in the skin. This Niacinamide when applied topically, helps in increasing ceramide production and fatty acids in the outer layer of the skin.
4. Fights Free Radical
5. Decrease Fine-lines & Wrinkles
Niacinamide is also known as anti-aging product. It helps in controlling and reducing lines around our mouth area, near chin and wrinkles.
6. Provides Hydration
When Niacinamide paired with hyaluronic acid or a moisturiser, it boosts the level of hydration and locks all the moisture. Thus makes the skin plump and supple.
7. Even out the skin
Niacinamide serums have the ability to fade away dark spots, acne-scars, pigmentation and sun-spots. It can block the enzyme responsible for pigmentation and hyper- pigmentation.
8. Boosts Skin Immunity
Niacinamide is the best way to boosts your skin's immunity as it helps ij building a protien called Keratin.

My Review:
It is dermatologically tested so it is quite safe to use. It can also be suited to those women who want chemical skincare product to fight fine- lines and wrinkles. It can be a great anti-aging chemical.
It does have a mild fragrance so may not be a big problem for most of the people who are sensitive to strong smell in their skincare products.
The texture is quite light weight. It gets quickly absorbed into the skin if it is used in dry-skin people. Whereas, it takes few seconds to get completely absorbed into the skin if it is used in oily-combination skin people.
The dropper attached with is a plus point from my opinion because some products do not come.up with dropper and so it gets little messy during regimen. You can travel with it as the outer packaging is made of cardboard into which many directions, ingredients, cautions, expiry dates are mentioned. So it easy to use.
It can take several weeks to show the results or improvements, so it is important to be patient and to stick with the skincare routine. The ingredient can help to reduce inflammation and hyper- pigmentation and brightens the skin. Those with the sensitive skin, can also use this product as it is dermatologically tested.
But make sure to always do a Patch- test before using new product directly onto the skin.
