A lightweight, clinically-tested treatment designed by founder Sunday Riley for balanced, radiant, even-toned skin β suitable for all skin types.
β¨ Texture & Feel
Clinically Proven 10%
Brand studies show 100% of users saw reduced oiliness and dark spots in 2 weeks, and 97% noted smaller-looking pores in 8 weeks.

Trans-resveratrol, EGCG (green tea), and curcuminoids neutralize free radicals from pollution and UV exposure.
Brightenyl Technology
A biotech-derived molecule activated by your skin's microbiome to brighten tone and soothe signs of sensitivity.
Pore & Oil Control
Regulates sebum production and refines pore appearance without stripping β safe for both oily and dry skin types.
π‘οΈ Safety & Compatibility
Contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, or hydroquinone. Niacinamide is considered safe during pregnancy and nursing. Consult your OB/GYN to be sure.
Contains argan oil, PEG-8, polysorbate 60, and esters (octyldodecanol) that may feed malassezia. Not ideal for active fungal acne.
Modern formulations of niacinamide and L-ascorbic acid are compatible. Can be layered or used AM/PM without issue.
Niacinamide actually buffers retinol and AHA/BHA irritation. Apply B3 Nice first, then layer your retinol or exfoliant on top.

Contains tangerine and lemon peel oils in tiny amounts. Very reactive skin may want to patch test first.
π¬ Ingredient Breakdown
π Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 10% Proven
The hero active β a form of vitamin B3 with extensive clinical research behind it. At 10%, B3 Nice delivers roughly double the concentration of most competitor serums, which typically range from 4β6%.
- Barrier repair: Boosts ceramide and keratin production, strengthening the skin's moisture barrier.
- Oil regulation: Clinical studies show 2% niacinamide reduces sebum; higher percentages amplify the effect.
- Pigmentation: Blocks melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes, fading post-acne marks.
- Pores: Reduces the visible appearance of enlarged pores over 4β8 weeks of consistent use.
π Trans-Resveratrol <1% Proven
The purest and most bioactive form of resveratrol β a polyphenol antioxidant derived from grape skins and Japanese knotweed. Partners with niacinamide to amplify brightening.
- Antioxidant power: Neutralizes free radicals from UV and pollution more effectively than vitamin E in some studies.
- Anti-inflammatory: Calms surface redness and supports barrier function.
- Elasticity: Promotes collagen preservation and helps smooth fine lines.
β¨ Brightenyl (Diglucosyl Gallic Acid) <1% Promising
A biotechnologically engineered molecule that is activated by the skin's own microbiome. Once on the skin, enzymes convert it into a melanin-regulating compound.
- Brightening: Targets dull, ruddy, uneven complexions to promote even tone.
- Sensitivity-friendly: Marketed as suitable for reactive skin β a gentler alternative to hydroquinone or strong acids.
- Microbiome-activated: Designed to work with natural skin flora rather than disrupt it.
π΅ EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallatyl Glucoside) <0.5% Proven
A stabilized, glucoside-derivatized form of the main catechin in green tea β designed for better stability and skin penetration than standard EGCG.
- Research: Studies show EGCG protects against UVB-induced oxidative stress and collagen breakdown.
- Anti-pollution: Shields skin from environmental aggressors tied to premature aging.
- Anti-inflammatory: Calms irritation and redness common in sensitive or acne-prone skin.
πΏ Centella Asiatica Actives (Asiaticoside + Madecassoside) ~2% Proven
Isolated actives from gotu kola (Centella asiatica) β the cornerstone of K-beauty soothing formulas, here used at meaningful concentrations.
- Barrier repair: Clinically shown to strengthen and restore a compromised moisture barrier.
- Anti-inflammatory: Reduces redness and calms active irritation.
- Wound healing: Supports recovery from post-acne marks and micro-inflammation.
π§ Glycerin + Betaine ~5% Proven
Two workhorse humectants that draw water into the upper skin layers and hold it there, preventing the "dryness" some people complain about with high-niacinamide formulas.
- Hydration: Glycerin is more effective than petrolatum at preventing trans-epidermal water loss in some studies.
- Skin feel: Creates the plump, dewy finish reviewers consistently praise.

π Where It Fits in Your Routine
π‘ Apply B3 Nice before heavier treatments like Good Genes or A+ Retinoid. The watery formula absorbs in seconds and layers seamlessly.
π How to Use
Cleanse & Prep
Wash your face with your usual cleanser and pat dry. Optionally apply a hydrating toner first.
Dispense 3β4 Drops
Hold the dropper carefully β the wide-neck bottle can drip. Place drops in your palm or directly on the face.
Apply to Face, Neck & DΓ©colletΓ©
Gently press and pat over face, neck, and chest. The watery serum absorbs in about 30 seconds.
Follow with Moisturizer (and SPF in AM)
Lock in with your favorite moisturizer. In the morning, always finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30+.
Use 1β2 Times Daily
Can be used morning and evening. Be consistent for at least 4β8 weeks for full brightening and pore-refining results.
π€ Who Is It For?
β Perfect for you if:
- You struggle with post-acne dark spots or hyperpigmentation
- You have enlarged or visible pores you want to refine
- Your skin is oily, combination, or acts up in humid weather
- You have redness or a blotchy, uneven skin tone
- Your skin is sensitive to vitamin C and you need a gentler brightener
- You're looking for an all-in-one treatment with actives + antioxidants
β Consider alternatives if:
- You're actively dealing with fungal acne (malassezia) flare-ups
- You're on a tight budget β dupes exist under $15
- You have extreme sensitivity to essential oils (citrus peel oils)
- You have very dry skin and need a richer, cream-based treatment
- You're allergic to niacinamide (rare, but possible)
π― Skin Type Compatibility
Niacinamide at 10% is a proven sebum regulator. Watery formula absorbs without adding shine.
Balances oily T-zone while hydrating drier cheeks thanks to glycerin and betaine humectants.
Delivers hydration, but dry types will want to layer a richer moisturizer on top for lasting comfort.
Niacinamide + Centella are soothing, but citrus peel oils mean very reactive skin should patch-test first.
Low comedogenic rating, anti-inflammatory actives, and strong post-acne dark spot fading make this a top pick.
Antioxidant blend (resveratrol, EGCG) supports anti-aging, though retinol remains the stronger wrinkle-smoother.

π° Budget-Friendly Alternatives (Dupes)
Same 10% niacinamide concentration at 1/10th the price. Strips out the resveratrol, Centella, Brightenyl, and antioxidant blend β a bare-bones formula focused on oil control. Slightly tackier finish.
Adds hyaluronic acid, EGCG, vitamin C derivative, and licorice root. Closer in formulation sophistication to B3 Nice but only 20ml (smaller size). Slightly silkier texture, less dewy finish.
Affordable 4% niacinamide with tranexamic acid for brightening. Lower active concentration but adds a different pigment-fader. Great entry-level option for beginners on a budget.
K-beauty alternative with 2% niacinamide, rice extract, and alpha-arbutin. Lower niacinamide % but a similar brightening + barrier-repair philosophy. Fragrance-free, reef-safe.
Features 5% niacinamide, pomegranate, and peptides. Shared antioxidant-plus-B3 philosophy with a more firming/anti-aging focus. Slightly heavier texture.
A stripped-down 10% niacinamide + hyaluronic acid option. Very hydrating but lacks the full antioxidant support of B3 Nice. Best if you want a pure B3 experience cheaply.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Yes β niacinamide is considered one of the safest actives to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. B3 Nice does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. The trace citrus peel oils are at very low concentrations. As always, consult your OB/GYN before introducing any new skincare during pregnancy.
Not fully. The formula contains argan oil, PEG-8, polysorbate 60, octyldodecanol, and sorbitan isostearate β ingredients that can feed malassezia yeast in people prone to fungal acne. If you are actively dealing with a malassezia flare, consider a stripped-down option like The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% or a dedicated FA-safe serum.
Yes to all four. Modern research has debunked the old myth that niacinamide and vitamin C "cancel out" β you can use them in the same routine. Niacinamide actually reduces irritation from retinol and exfoliating acids, making it a great buffer. Apply B3 Nice first (after cleansing/toning), then layer your retinol, AHA, or BHA on top.
B3 Nice is formulated for all skin types but shines brightest on oily, combination, and acne-prone skin because of the pore-refining, oil-regulating, and brightening effects of 10% niacinamide. Dry and mature skin benefit too but should layer a richer moisturizer on top. Sensitive skin generally tolerates it well, though very reactive skin should patch test due to the trace citrus peel oils.
Most users notice an instant plumping and dewy glow after the very first application thanks to the glycerin. Brand clinical studies report 100% of participants saw reduced oiliness and post-acne dark spots within 2 weeks, 100% saw clearer skin and less redness at 4 weeks, and 97% saw smaller-looking pores after 8 weeks. Consistent twice-daily use over 4β8 weeks delivers the most dramatic results.
Apply B3 Nice after cleansing and toning, but before heavier treatments like Good Genes lactic acid or A+ Retinoid. The order is: Cleanser β Toner β B3 Nice Serum β Treatment Serum (optional) β Moisturizer β SPF (AM only). Use morning and/or evening depending on your tolerance.
B3 Nice scores low on the comedogenic scale (approximately 1/5). The formula is water-based and lightweight. The only ingredients with mild comedogenic potential are argan oil (low concentration, near the end of the INCI) and a few esters. Most reviewers β including those with acne-prone skin β report no clogging or breakouts.
B3 Nice has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. Look for the "12M" open-jar symbol on the packaging. For best results, keep the bottle tightly closed, store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight (the trans-resveratrol is light-sensitive), and wipe the dropper neck clean after each use to prevent crusted residue.
Verdict: Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum is a genuinely sophisticated take on niacinamide β pairing the hero active with trans-resveratrol, EGCG, Centella actives, and the biotech-derived Brightenyl complex. If you want visible results on post-acne dark spots, enlarged pores, surface redness, and oiliness without the irritation of vitamin C, this formula delivers. The $65 price tag is steep for 30ml, and the non-airless dropper is a legitimate gripe, but the multi-active blend and clinical results justify it for those who prefer a luxury all-in-one serum. For budget shoppers, The Ordinary's $6.50 version covers the basics. For everyone else chasing clear, even, radiant skin β B3 Nice earns its cult status.

Understanding Parabens
Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial. If you find your skin doesn't like these simple alcohols, then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the Alcohol-Free icon.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
