Let’s talk about one of the most quietly powerful skincare products I’ve ever used: The Inkey List Niacinamide Serum. Priced under $15, packed with thoughtful ingredients, and backed by real science—this serum is the definition of skincare that works and makes sense.

Let’s break it down:

• Niacinamide (10%)
  This is the star. Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, helps reduce redness, inflammation, and oil production. It supports the skin barrier and is especially great for those dealing with breakouts, enlarged pores, or uneven texture.
• Hyaluronic Acid
  This hydrating powerhouse works alongside niacinamide to help the skin retain moisture and stay plump. A lot of niacinamide serums can be drying—this one balances that out beautifully.
• Propylene Glycol + Panthenol
  These supporting ingredients act as humectants (moisture grabbers) and soothe the skin, ensuring the formula is not only effective but calming.
• Zinc PCA
  An underrated addition—it helps reduce sebum production and works synergistically with niacinamide to calm acne-prone skin.

What I love most is that this serum doesn’t try to do everything. It stays in its lane, and it does it well. Morning or night, it layers well under SPF or retinol, and it’s safe for all skin types—especially sensitive or acne-prone.

If your skin needs consistency, calm, and clarity, this is your green light.

See you next week for another Wellrobe Wednesday—where wellness and wardrobe meet clarity and care.
