Good Molecules 5% Niacinamide Serum with Ectoin, 30 ml — Lightweight Hydrating Pore Minimizer

Designed for daily use, this 30 ml serum pairs 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3) with ectoin and acetyl glucosamine to deliver hydration, barrier support, and visible texture refinement without heavy residue or fragrance. The formula absorbs quickly, layers well under moisturizers and makeup, and is vegan and cruelty-free.

How does this serum help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores?

Niacinamide targets oil-regulating processes and surface texture, which can make pores appear less noticeable over time. Combined with acetyl glucosamine, the serum supports smoother skin surface renewal and a more even appearance.

• Contains 5% niacinamide to help balance skin and refine texture.
• Acetyl glucosamine supports surface renewal for a softer look.
• Light, water-based feel avoids clogging pores or leaving film.

What role does ectoin play in this formula?

Ectoin is a small, water-attracting molecule included to boost hydration and strengthen the skin’s barrier resilience. It helps skin retain moisture and stay protected from daily environmental stressors, improving comfort and plumpness.

• Deep hydration that supports barrier function and reduces moisture loss.
• Helps skin feel calmer and less prone to irritation from stressors.
• Works well in combination with moisturizers to prolong hydration.

How should I add it to my morning and evening routine?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin morning and night, then allow it to absorb before layering heavier treatments or makeup. Because it’s water-based and fragrance-free, it sits comfortably under most creams and oils.

• Use 2–4 drops on face and neck after cleansing and toning.
• Let it fully absorb, then follow with moisturizer or SPF in the morning.
• Suitable for daily use; avoid combining with high-strength exfoliants at once.

Will this serum work for sensitive or combination skin?

The gentle, fragrance-free formulation with a pH around neutral is designed to be approachable for many skin types, including sensitive and combination skin. Its hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients help reduce irritation risk when introduced gradually.

• Fragrance-free and vegan to minimize potential triggers.
• pH near neutral to reduce disruption of skin’s acid mantle.
• Start with every-other-day use if you have very reactive skin, then increase frequency.

Who is this for: This serum is aimed at anyone seeking lightweight hydration plus visible improvements in skin texture, pore appearance, and overall radiance — especially those with combination, oily, dry, or sensitized skin looking for a gentle, everyday solution that layers easily under other products.
