With AHA\/BHA: Niacinamide is excellent for supporting skin barrier recovery post-exfoliation. Apply the exfoliant first, allow skin to dry, then apply this serum.

The formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens that are commonly contraindicated during pregnancy. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin that is generally regarded as safe. However, as with all skincare products during pregnancy, it is always best practice to consult your obstetrician or dermatologist before starting or continuing any new skincare active. The mild fragrance (Parfum) is present at low levels, but if you prefer to completely minimize fragrance exposure during pregnancy, consider The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% as a fragrance-free alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq2\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq2\"\u003eIs The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum fungal acne (Malassezia) safe?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum is fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) safe. The formula does not contain fermented ingredients, fatty acid esters, polysorbates, or problematic oils that feed Malassezia yeast — the organism responsible for fungal acne. All 15 ingredients have been verified against the standard fungal acne safe checklist. Niacinamide is actually beneficial for fungal acne-prone skin due to its anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating properties, which help reduce the oily environment in which Malassezia thrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq3\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq3\"\u003eCan I use The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum with retinol, Vitamin C, AHA, or BHA?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, niacinamide is compatible with all of these actives, but timing matters. With Vitamin C: Use Vitamin C in the morning and this Niacinamide serum in the evening to maximize each active's benefits — at high concentrations, niacinamide and pure L-ascorbic acid Vitamin C can potentially interact. With Retinol: Niacinamide pairs well with retinol and can actually help buffer retinol-related irritation. Apply the niacinamide serum before or after retinol. With AHA\/BHA: Niacinamide is excellent for supporting skin barrier recovery post-exfoliation. Apply the exfoliant first, allow skin to dry, then apply this serum. Daily niacinamide use alongside 2–3x weekly chemical exfoliation is a very effective combination for acne marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq4\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq4\"\u003eWhat skin type is The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum best for?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis serum is most effective for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types, where its sebum-regulating and anti-blemish properties deliver the most noticeable results. It is also suitable for normal skin as a preventative and maintenance serum. Dry skin types can use it, but will need a richer moisturizer applied immediately after to counterbalance the potentially matte finish. Sensitive skin types should perform a patch test first and start with once-daily use due to the high 10% niacinamide concentration and presence of Parfum. All skin types dealing with post-acne marks or uneven tone will benefit from the pigmentation-fading properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq5\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq5\"\u003eHow long until I see results from The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResults appear in stages with consistent twice-daily use. Most users notice oil control and texture improvements within the first 1–2 weeks. Visible pore refinement and fewer breakouts typically emerge by weeks 3–4. Acne mark fading and a more even skin tone become noticeable between weeks 4–8. The most significant long-term benefits — including substantial tone correction and a stronger skin barrier — develop after 8–12 weeks of regular use. For best and fastest results, pair this serum with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning, as UV exposure is the primary factor that darkens and prolongs post-acne marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq6\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq6\"\u003eWhere does The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum go in my skincare routine?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis serum belongs in the serum step of your routine, applied after cleansing and toning but before moisturizer. The recommended order is: (1) Cleanser → (2) Toner → (3) This Niacinamide Serum → (4) Eye Cream (if used) → (5) Moisturizer → (6) Sunscreen (morning only). As a water-based serum, it should be applied before any oils, cream serums, or heavy moisturizers. If layering multiple serums, apply this one first as it is the most lightweight. Allow it to absorb for 20–30 seconds before the next step. Use both morning and evening for optimal results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq7\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq7\"\u003eIs The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum comedogenic \/ will it clog pores?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this serum is non-comedogenic with a comedogenic rating of 1\/5. The formula contains no pore-clogging oils, silicones, or heavy emollients. The two primary moisturizing ingredients — Glycerin and Propylene Glycol — are both rated 0 on the comedogenic scale, meaning they are extremely unlikely to block pores. In fact, the combination of Niacinamide and Zinc PCA in this serum actively works to reduce pore visibility by normalizing sebum production and improving follicular keratinization. It is specifically formulated for acne-prone and oily skin types, making pore-clogging an extremely unlikely concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq8\"\u003e\n\u003clabel for=\"faq8\"\u003eHow long does The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum last after opening?\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-faq-answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe serum has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. With twice-daily use of 2–3 drops per application, the 30ml bottle typically lasts approximately 2–3 months. To maximize shelf life, store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid contaminating the dropper tip by touching it to the skin. If you notice any changes in color, consistency, or scent before the 12-month mark, discontinue use. The 30ml size makes it travel-friendly and within airline carry-on liquid limits (under 100ml).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pp-verdict\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"eyebrow\"\u003e— Skincarisma verdict\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"score-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e4.4\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"max\"\u003e\/ 5\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"stars\"\u003e★★★★☆\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Derma Co 10% Niacinamide Serum is one of the most compelling value propositions in the niacinamide serum category. It delivers a genuinely high-concentration, dermatologist-developed formula with 10% Niacinamide and 2% Zinc PCA — two clinically supported actives for oily, acne-prone skin — at a price that remains accessible. With over 50,000 user reviews confirming real-world results for acne mark fading, sebum control, and pore refinement, this serum has earned its reputation as a go-to in both beginner and experienced Indian skincare routines. The only notable caveats are the presence of Parfum (not fully fragrance-free) and a packaging style that doesn't match its clinical efficacy. For oily, combination, or acne-prone skin seeking visible pigmentation improvement and oil control without breaking the bank, this is an excellent choice and a strong competitor to international brands at a fraction of the price.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cbutton class=\"pp-back-to-top\" aria-label=\"Back to top\" type=\"button\" style=\"position:fixed;bottom:24px;right:24px;width:44px;height:44px;border-radius:50%;background:var(--pp-accent);color:#fff;border:none;display:none;cursor:pointer;z-index:50;box-shadow:0 4px 16px rgba(13,31,45,0.2)\"\u003e↑\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cscript\u003e\n  (function () {\n    var btt = document.querySelector('.pp-back-to-top');\n    if (!btt) return;\n    var ticking = false;\n    function onScroll () {\n      if (!ticking) {\n        requestAnimationFrame(function () {\n          btt.style.display = window.scrollY \u003e 600 ?
