A week later, I noticed some reduction in the brown spots, they became lighter than before but didn’t disappear completely. Yes and No. From what I can understand, it also has a very high concentration of Niacinamide so that combination might have increased the effectiveness of the product. It was quite unproblematic for me, and my skin improved after using this. The dark spots faded a whole lot, and my breakouts reduced. Although, like i stated earlier, I used this in combination with a few other products.

Good oil control. My face becomes less oily when I use it which is something I surely need during humid weather.

TIAM, a Korean beauty brand, sent me their Vita B3 Source to try and review around a month and a half ago. I had been using it consistently ever since and have seen some good results with my uneven skin tone. Tiam Vita B3 Source is infused with a high concentration of Niacinamide (10%) and Arbutin (2%) to visibly improve the skin’s overall health and complexion. Sodium Hyaluronate also known as Hyaluronic Acid – moisturizer/humectant that acts as a sponge helping the skin to hold onto water. This is another serum in my wish list. This Tia’m Vita B3 serum is really AMAZING! A good and power brightening serum because of the combination 10% Niacinamide + 2% Arbutin. Both ingredients are good for brightening effect in skincare. This power serum really work well on my skin. There was no irritating, redness or itching at all. The serum is a clear solution that’s slightly more viscous than water. Again, on comparing with The Ordinary’s Niacinamide + Zinc Solution, this one’s more watery thin and runny. And the Tiam B3 source doesn’t have any smell to it.

I love niacinamide and I have seen so many great results using it. The TIAM Vita B3 Source Serum is especially great for those with oily, combination and breakout-prone skin,I do this twice a day, morning and night and follow it up with a moisturizer and sunscreen (in the morning). It gets absorbed very fast and leaves a dewy finish.

Formulated with a high dose of niacinamide (vitamin B3), it is recommended to do an allergic skin test before use and adjust its amount. Discontinue use if irritation or rash occurs. I love the lightweight texture of this serum because it gets completely absorbed into the skin and doesn’t sit on it. HOW TO USE TIAM VITA B3 SERUM?

If you’re just getting started with niacinamide, I highly recommend you try serums containing 2% – 5% niacinamide. Once you feel like your skin has adjusted, you can increase it up to 10%. Apply 2-3 drops of the serum after washing your face and using toner. You can go with another layer on dark spots and lightly tap the area until fully absorbed. The serum can be used day and night. Make sure to follow up with sunscreen in the morning. A less irritating alternative to hydroquinone, Arbutin , is a natural ingredient that prevents the synthesis of melanin and works on reducing pigmentation . This serum has Beta Arbutin. Now, what’s that?! Refer to this handy chart below to know more about Alpha and Beta Arbutin. Difference between Alpha Arbutin and Beta Arbutin The TIAM Vita B3 Source is fragrance-free. It just smells like its ingredients, probably Niacinamide (The Ordinary serum smells exactly the same). The last one is week 2 where the dark spots have reduced considerably but they have still not disappeared. I understand that these acne spots can take months to disappear completely.
