Details

A niacinamide serum for all skin types, and the first step of RATIONALE's morning routine. It suits skin that feels dehydrated, looks uneven or is prone to congestion.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps support the skin barrier and even the look of skin tone. Acetyl octapeptide-3 softens the look of expression lines, and a complex of ceramides and amino acids helps skin feel hydrated, soft and comfortable.

Facialist's note: after rinsing with tepid water, smooth 2–3 drops over face, neck, décolletage and the backs of your hands each morning, before moisturiser and SPF.
