The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (for all skin types; Ideal for normal to oily)
Niacinamide is a multifunctional ingredient; it has excellent skin-lightening properties reducing hyperpigmentation and brown spots
and wrinkle-smoothing properties as it can increase collagen production and the production of three essential proteins keratin,
filaggrin, and involucrin. It also increases free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides, resulting in a stronger skin barrier and better-
hydrated skin. Furthermore, it has oil-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties that benefit acne- or breakout-prone skin.
Additionally, it contains zinc-PCA which helps to normalize oil production and limit the reproduction of acne-causing bacteria.
Moreover, PCA is a natural moisturizing factor that increases hydration in the uppermost layers of the skin.

La Roche-Posay Niacinamide B10 Serum (for all skin types; ideal for normal to oily)
This serum contains a 10% concentration of niacinamide to help brighten the skin while regulating
oiliness and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. In addition, it includes 5% HEPES
(hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid), which helps to loosen the bonds of dead skin cells
(acting as a gentle exfoliate), while hyaluronic acid helps to moisturize and plump the skin.

acne, which is mostly caused by a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. It is also

acne-prone skin. This formulation also contains plant extracts that calm and soothe
skin. Its super-light, lotion-like texture sets to an invisible matte finish and can be
worn under makeup.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion (for all skin types)

It hydrates and soothes the skin while leaving it soft and smooth, giving it a dewy finish.

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (for all skin types)

Natural moisturizing factors (NMF) are elements that keep the outer layer of the skin protected and well-
hydrated. NMF are made up of multiple amino acids, fatty acids, triglycerides, urea, ceramides, phospholipids,
glycerin, saccharides, sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid and many other compounds that are naturally present in the
skin. The role of NMF is to draw in water from the air to the skin, keeping it hydrated. They also help create a
barrier so that harmful microorganisms cannot penetrate your skin.

NIOD Hydration Vaccine (for all skin types)

It helps protect against loss of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) and supplements the skin's own
moisturizing factors. This novel approach contrasts moisturizers that offer oils and lubricants as a
method of hiding dehydration instead of respecting the skin's own barrier to water loss.
