Niacinamide+Chaenomeles Sinensis Serum

Niacinamide handles the oil and tone drama while chaenomeles (yep, try saying that twice) quietly does the calming and brightening. It’s light, layers easy, and doesn’t try to do too much — just keeps your skin in check. Not a glow bomb, but a solid everyday sidekick. Apply on damp skin after toner. Safe to layer with most actives, but skip pairing with strong acids or vitamin c in the same routine to avoid overdoing it. Follow up with a moisturizer and SPF if you’re heading out.
