Experience clearer, smoother, and more resilient skin with our B3/B5 Duality Facial Serum, a lightweight yet powerful formula enriched with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5). This hydrating facial serum is designed to improve skin tone, calm inflammation, minimize the appearance of pores, and support a healthy skin barrier, making it ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or aging skin. Pure spring water is at the base of this formulation, offering essential hydration to restore skin vitality. 3% Niacinamide helps brighten dull skin, reduce redness, refine pores, and smooth fine lines, making it a must-have ingredient for anti-aging and blemish-fighting benefits. Vitamin B5 promotes skin healing, reduces breakouts, and improves softness and elasticity. This serum is gently thickened with Xanthan Gum for a smooth, easy application and preserved naturally with Leucidal SF, a probiotic-based antimicrobial derived from Lactobacillus ferment. This clean, fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types and free from parabens, synthetic preservatives, and harsh additives. Perfect for daily use, the B3/B5 Duality Facial Serum supports your skin’s natural balance while targeting concerns like acne, sensitivity, dryness, and signs of aging.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

Niacinamide 3% - skin lightening, anti-aging agents, stimulates circulation, anti-inflammatory

I started using this serum in November and am so happy with it. The ingredients have helped my skin feel bright and dewy, as I felt it was dull for a long time. I love it.
