Juicy Chemistry 10% Niacinamide + 2% Ectoin Face Serum

For Oil Control, Pigmentation and Environmental Stress
Oil, uneven tone, and barrier weakness often come together. Niacinamide addresses all three, while Ectoin protects against environmental stressors such as pollution and temperature fluctuations. Balanced, clearer-looking skin in one step.

How It Works?
Niacinamide (10%): Inhibits the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes, reducing the pigmentation that reaches the skin surface. Simultaneously down-regulates sebaceous gland lipid synthesis to reduce sebum volume, and upregulates ceramide and fatty acid production in the stratum corneum to reinforce barrier function — three parallel mechanisms in one active.

Ectoin (2%): A cyclic amino acid derivative (tetrahydropyrimidine carboxylic acid) produced by extremophilic bacteria as a cellular stress-response compound. Forms a stable hydration shell around skin cells and proteins, reducing the conformational damage caused by UV radiation, particulate pollution, and blue light exposure at the cellular level.

Hydrating Base: Maintains the aqueous environment both actives require for optimal receptor interaction and transdermal penetration, while preserving skin comfort during consistent daily use.

Key Benefits
Niacinamide Regulates Oil, Pigmentation and Barrier: At 10%, Niacinamide addresses sebum regulation, melanin transfer reduction, and barrier strengthening, three interrelated skin concerns managed in a single active.

Ectoin Shields Against Environmental Stressors: Forms a protective layer around skin cells to help defend against the daily accumulation of damage from pollution, UV, and blue light.

Hydration That Supports Active Use: Ectoin’s water-binding properties support skin hydration from within, maintaining comfort during consistent active use.

Clean and Appropriate for Sensitive Skin: Fragrance-free, essential oil-free, and dermatologist-tested. Suitable for sensitive, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.
