Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSNiacinamide (Vitamin B3) ~5-8%Proven
The star ingredient and second listed on the INCI, indicating a high concentration. Niacinamide is one of the most well-researched skincare actives, known for its multitasking abilities across multiple skin concerns.
- Pore Reduction: Studies show 5% niacinamide can visibly reduce pore size and improve skin texture after 12 weeks of use.
- Barrier Support: Boosts ceramide and fatty acid production in the skin, strengthening the natural moisture barrier.
- Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen synthesis and inhibits glycation, helping reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity.
- Brightening: Inhibits melanosome transfer to reduce dark spots and even out skin tone over time.
- Oil Regulation: At concentrations of 4-6%, niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and reduce acne breakouts.
Zinc PCA ~3-4%Promising
A zinc salt combined with PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), a natural humectant found in the skin. This compound delivers the antibacterial and sebum-regulating benefits of zinc along with hydration.
- Sebum Control: Zinc PCA has been shown to reduce excess oil production, helping keep shine under control throughout the day.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Zinc helps calm redness and irritation associated with acne and breakouts.
- Antibacterial: Can reduce the presence of acne-causing bacteria on the skin surface.
- Humectant: The PCA component attracts water to the skin, providing lightweight hydration.
Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil (Hemp Seed Oil) ~1-2%Promising
A plant-derived oil rich in linoleic acid, omega-3, and omega-6 fatty acids. Hemp seed oil is valued for its moisturizing and barrier-strengthening properties without the heavy feel of thicker oils.
- Linoleic Acid Rich: High in linoleic acid, which helps strengthen the skin barrier and soften the upper skin layer.
- Non-Comedogenic: Rated 0 on the comedogenic scale despite being an oil, making it suitable for most skin types.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Omega fatty acids help soothe irritation and reduce redness.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice ~3-5%Proven
Third ingredient on the list, providing soothing and hydrating benefits. Aloe vera is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, plus natural polysaccharides that bind moisture to the skin.
- Soothing: Known for its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, making it ideal for calming irritated skin.
- Hydrating: Contains monosaccharides and polysaccharides that attract and retain moisture in the skin.
- Antioxidant: Vitamins A, C, and E provide antioxidant defense against free radical damage.
Glycerin ~1.5-2.5%Proven
One of the most effective and well-researched humectants in skincare. Glycerin is naturally present in the skin and draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to keep the surface hydrated.
- Humectant: Attracts and retains moisture in the upper skin layer for lasting hydration.
- Barrier Support: Helps maintain the skin's natural protective barrier function.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESOutstanding choice. Niacinamide and zinc PCA work together to regulate sebum and control shine. Lightweight gel absorbs instantly without adding greasiness.
Balances oily T-zone while providing enough hydration for drier areas. Non-greasy formula adapts well across different facial zones.
Niacinamide and zinc PCA help reduce breakouts and calm inflammation. Low comedogenic rating (1/5). Not suitable for fungal acne due to hemp seed oil.
Provides some hydration from glycerin and aloe, but may not be enough on its own. Best paired with a rich moisturizer or hydrating serum underneath.
Fragrance-free, no harsh alcohols, no silicones. Clean ingredient list reduces irritation risk. Patch test recommended as niacinamide can cause mild flushing in rare cases.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This serum contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, or chemical sunscreens — all commonly flagged ingredients during pregnancy. Niacinamide, aloe vera, zinc PCA, glycerin, and hemp seed oil are all considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As always, consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before introducing new skincare products during pregnancy.
No. This serum contains Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil (hemp seed oil), which is a fatty acid-rich plant oil. Fatty acids, particularly oleic acid and other long-chain fatty acids, can feed the malassezia yeast that causes fungal acne. If you are prone to fungal acne, consider a fungal acne-safe niacinamide alternative such as The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% or Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum.
Niacinamide is compatible with most active ingredients. It pairs well with retinol (can reduce retinol-related irritation), hyaluronic acid, peptides, and ceramides. For vitamin C (ascorbic acid), it is best to use them in separate routines (niacinamide in AM, vitamin C in PM or vice versa) as combining them can decrease the effectiveness of both. Niacinamide is safe to use alongside AHA and BHA exfoliants and can help soothe the skin after chemical exfoliation.
This serum is best suited for oily, combination, and normal skin types. The lightweight gel texture and oil-regulating ingredients (niacinamide + zinc PCA) make it especially effective for those with excess sebum production. It also works well for sensitive skin due to its fragrance-free, minimal formula. Dry skin types may find it too lightweight on its own and should pair it with a richer moisturizer. It is suitable for all skin tones and ages, particularly those concerned with aging, pores, and uneven skin tone.
Initial improvements in skin hydration and texture can be felt within the first 1-2 weeks of daily use. Oil-balancing effects typically become noticeable around weeks 3-4. For more significant results like pore minimization, reduced dark spots, and fine line improvement, allow 8-12 weeks of consistent daily use. Niacinamide is a gentle active that works gradually, so patience and consistency are key to seeing visible results.
Apply this serum after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizer and sunscreen. The general rule is to apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency. As a lightweight gel serum, it should go on before heavier creams and oils. Use it in your morning routine (as directed by ACURE) or in both AM and PM routines. Always follow with sunscreen during the day.
This serum has a low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5, meaning it is very unlikely to clog pores for most people. Hemp seed oil, despite being an oil, has a comedogenic rating of 0 and is actually rich in linoleic acid, which can help keep pores clear. Niacinamide itself helps reduce pore size and regulate oil production. However, everyone's skin is different, so if you are extremely sensitive to oils, do a patch test first.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. The serum should be used within 12 months of first opening the pump. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the niacinamide and other active ingredients. The glass bottle and pump packaging help protect the formula from air exposure and contamination. With daily use, the 30ml bottle typically lasts 6-8 weeks.
Verdict: The ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Niacinamide Serum is a solid, clean-formula niacinamide serum that punches above its weight for the price. Its standout feature is the exceptionally short ingredient list — just 14 ingredients with zero fillers, fragrances, or questionable additives. The proven combination of niacinamide and zinc PCA delivers real benefits for pore size, oil control, and skin tone. It earns points for being pregnancy-safe, vegan, cruelty-free, and widely accessible. The main drawbacks are the small 30ml size, the presence of hemp seed oil (which makes it unsuitable for fungal acne-prone skin), and a lower niacinamide concentration than some competitors. If you value clean ingredients and a minimal formula over maximum potency, this is an excellent choice at a fair price point.

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.

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.

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.

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 «promises» 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

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.
