It's also beneficial for those wanting to strengthen their skin barrier. Skip if you have a known sensitivity to Niacinamide or Zinc PCA; always patch test first. If you have persistent acne, consult a healthcare provider for medical treatment options, though this serum can be used alongside them for cosmetic benefits. — Who It's For & Who Should Skip ## How to use 1.
