Niacinamide serum from The Ordinary, ₹1,200, is a lightweight gel that feels cool and non‑greasy on the skin—immediately like a fine mist that lifts pores and gives a subtle sheen.
Apply 2–3 drops after cleansing, patting gently, then follow with your favorite moisturizer; start twice a week if you’re new and ramp up to daily as your skin gets used to it.
Keep an eye on any redness—some very sensitive skin types may get a faint flush, so patch test first.
If you want a higher concentration, Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide Serum at ₹1,800 is a step up but still gentle enough for most skin types.
Grab a travel‑size bottle from Watsons or order online from Nykaa—just a few clicks and you’re on your way to a stronger, glowing complexion.
