In skincare, its polyphenols and organic acids regulate sebum production, inhibit acne-associated bacteria, and provide antioxidant protection against the oxidative cellular environment that promotes breakout formation. It is underused in mainstream skincare despite its well-documented properties, which is why it remains genuinely differentiating at the concentrations Mary\u0026amp;May uses it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 2% Niacinamide enough to see brightening results on post-blemish marks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Research demonstrates meaningful brightening results with Niacinamide from 2% to 5%. The complementary brightening activity of Korean Quince's antioxidant compounds means the combined tone improvement is stronger than the Niacinamide concentration alone suggests, and 2% is the most consistently well-tolerated concentration for those who have experienced niacin flush or sensitivity at higher doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this alongside a salicylic acid or AHA toner?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Apply the acid toner first, allow it to absorb fully, then apply this serum over it. The Korean Quince's anti-inflammatory properties complement the post-exfoliation stage well, calming the mild sensitivity that acid exfoliants introduce while the Niacinamide supports the brightening activity that exfoliation begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mary\u0026amp;May Niacinamide and Chaenomeles Sinensis Serum is the daily serum for oily skin that has run out of patience with formulas that solve one problem while making another one slightly worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore more\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/niacinamide\"\u003eniacinamide\u003c\/a\u003e serums, target \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acne\"\u003eacne\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mary-may\"\u003eMary \u0026amp; May\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mary\u0026May","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47822572912974,"sku":"MMS01-SN","price":13.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/MMS01-SN.png?v=1778671448"},{"product_id":"mary-may-vegan-cica-tea-tree-aha-pha-toner","title":"Mary\u0026May Vegan CICA Tea Tree AHA PHA Toner","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAHA, PHA, CICA, and Tea Tree exfoliating toner for oily and acne-prone skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClears congestion and calms breakouts without stripping the barrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvening use; three to four times per week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the acid toner for oily and acne-prone skin that has found other acid toners too harsh to use regularly.

PHA's larger molecular size limits penetration depth, reducing irritation while maintaining surface exfoliation. The AHA and PHA combination in this toner delivers graduated exfoliation across multiple depths with a lower cumulative irritation risk than an equivalent-strength AHA-only formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this every evening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Build to four to five times weekly as the skin adjusts.

In skincare, its flavonoid content provides antibacterial activity against acne-associated bacteria and anti-inflammatory reduction of breakout-related redness.

Rinse-off Tea Tree delivers concentrated antibacterial contact during cleansing time.

Niacinamide alone regulates sebum and fades marks but has no direct antibacterial mechanism. Propolis at 60% provides antibacterial protection, barrier repair, and antioxidant defence in a single humectant-rich base, making it a more nourishing approach to acne management that supports the barrier rather than compromising it, which is particularly useful for skin that is both blemish-prone and sensitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 2% Niacinamide enough to see brightening results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Research demonstrates meaningful results with Niacinamide at 2% to 5% with consistent use. The complementary brightening activity of Propolis's antioxidant compounds means the combined brightening effect is stronger than the Niacinamide concentration alone suggests, and at 2% the formula is accessible to those who have experienced flushing from higher Niacinamide doses in other serums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this serum compatible with other active skincare products?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.

The key differences are texture and actives. The original has a richer, creamier base with Probiotic Ferment for microbiome support, suiting normal to dry skin.

For acne-prone skin, the barrier-repair benefit is especially relevant: consistent daily sunscreen can stress the barrier and trigger sensitivity, and Panthenol directly addresses that stress. It is not a spot treatment for active acne, but it helps create a more resilient skin environment under daily UV filter exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this layer well under makeup, and work in humid or sweaty conditions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.

Niacinamide at 5% works more gently, helping fade dark marks and even tone while also supporting the barrier, which makes it easier to use consistently, and the two can be paired if your skin tolerates them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 5% niacinamide enough to make a difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Research shows meaningful results from niacinamide at around 2% to 5%, and the antioxidant fruit extracts here add further brightening support, so the formula works without the flushing some people get from very high concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe point of difference is restraint: enough niacinamide to fade marks steadily, balanced with enough soothing support that sensitive skin can actually keep using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/niacinamide\"\u003eniacinamide collection\u003c\/a\u003e to layer brightening treatments across your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/niacinamide\"\u003eNiacinamide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/pigmentation\"\u003ePigmentation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/axis-y\"\u003eMore from AXIS-Y\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AXIS-Y","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54815156633934,"sku":"AXS04-SDEU","price":12.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/AXS04-SDEU.png?v=1778671450"},{"product_id":"banila-co-clean-it-zero-pore-clarifying-cleansing-balm","title":"Banila co Clean it Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin-Nomad's Take — At a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst cleanse that clears pores as it removes makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalm-to-oil with gentle AHA, BHA and tea tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor combination, oily and blemish-prone skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your skin still feels congested even after you have cleansed, this is the first step built to clear it.
