About This Serum

KELVS Niacinamide 5% Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing, water-based formula designed to visibly minimize pores, balance oil production, reduce redness, and deliver deep hydration — all in one step. Powered by a clinically studied concentration of 5% Niacinamide and 1% Hyaluronic Acid, this serum works on multiple skin concerns simultaneously, making it one of the most versatile additions to any daily skincare routine.

Whether you are dealing with enlarged pores, an oily T-zone, uneven skin texture, or persistent dullness — this serum is formulated to address it all gently and effectively, without disrupting your skin barrier.

Why Niacinamide 5%?

Niacinamide — also known as Vitamin B3 — is one of the most well-researched and versatile skincare actives available today. At a 5% concentration, it hits the sweet spot: effective enough to deliver real results, yet gentle enough for daily use on all skin types including sensitive skin. Here is what it does:

• ✅ Visibly minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores
• ✅ Regulates sebum production — ideal for oily and combination skin
• ✅ Reduces redness, blotchiness and inflammation
• ✅ Fades dark spots, post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation
• ✅ Strengthens the skin barrier against environmental stressors
• ✅ Improves overall skin texture and clarity over time

Why Hyaluronic Acid 1%?

Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful humectant capable of holding up to 1000x its weight in water. At 1% — the optimal effective concentration — it draws moisture deep into the skin, plumping fine lines, smoothing texture, and preventing the tightness or dryness that some actives can cause. Together with Niacinamide, it creates a perfectly balanced formula that refines and hydrates at the same time.

pH 5.0–5.5 — Optimized for Skin Compatibility

Our formula is precisely pH-balanced at 5.0–5.5 — closely matching the skin's natural pH. This ensures Niacinamide remains stable and fully active, maximizes ingredient absorption, and keeps your skin barrier healthy and intact with every use.

• ✅ Minimizes the appearance of pores with consistent use
• ✅ Controls excess oil and shine throughout the day
• ✅ Evens out skin tone and reduces redness
• ✅ Deeply hydrates for a plumper, smoother complexion
• ✅ Fades dark spots and post-acne marks over time
• ✅ Strengthens and supports the skin barrier
• ✅ Non-greasy, lightweight formula suitable for all skin types
• ✅ Safe for daily use — morning and night

⚠️ Note: For best results, use consistently every day. Niacinamide works gradually — visible improvements in pore size and skin tone typically appear after 4–6 weeks of regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does Niacinamide 5% actually do for skin?

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at 5% concentration works on multiple skin concerns at once. It visibly minimizes enlarged pores, regulates oil production, reduces redness and blotchiness, fades dark spots and post-acne marks, and strengthens the skin barrier. It is one of the most scientifically backed skincare ingredients available, with results backed by numerous clinical studies.

Q: Why 5% Niacinamide — why not higher?

5% is the clinically proven sweet spot for Niacinamide. Studies show that 5% delivers maximum benefits — pore minimizing, oil control, brightening — without the risk of skin flushing or irritation that can occasionally occur at higher concentrations like 10% or above. It is effective, well-tolerated, and suitable for long-term daily use.

Q: Can I use this serum if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes — Niacinamide is particularly beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin. It helps regulate sebum production, reducing excess shine and oiliness throughout the day. It also reduces the redness and inflammation associated with breakouts and fades post-acne marks over time. The water-based, non-greasy formula will not clog pores or worsen breakouts.

Q: Can I use this serum with other actives like Vitamin C or Retinol?

Yes. Niacinamide is one of the most compatible skincare actives and pairs well with most ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and Vitamin C. When layering, apply the Niacinamide serum first on clean skin, allow it to absorb, then apply your other serums or moisturizer on top.

Q: How long does it take to see results?

Most users notice reduced redness and improved skin texture within 2–4 weeks. Visible pore minimizing and dark spot fading typically become apparent after 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use. As with all skincare actives, consistency is the key to results.

Q: Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Niacinamide is one of the gentlest skincare actives available and is well-tolerated by sensitive skin types. Our formula is pH-balanced at 5.0–5.5 and free from harsh irritants, making it safe for everyday use. If you have very reactive skin, we recommend a patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours before full facial application.
