Description
Skin Clearil Serum harnesses a 12 % concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B₃), a multifunctional cosmeceutical shown to inhibit melanosome transfer by 35–68 %, leading to marked improvements in hyperpigmentation and even skin tone [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology]. In a vehicle-controlled clinical study, topical niacinamide significantly decreased pigmentation and enhanced skin lightness within four weeks of nightly use . Zinc PCA (2 %) adds antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action, regulating sebum production and reducing acne lesions by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, as demonstrated in a comprehensive literature review on zinc in dermatology .
Propylene glycol (5 %) and glycerin (3 %) act as humectants, drawing moisture into the stratum corneum and enhancing the serum’s delivery of active ingredients, while sodium gluconate (0.2 %) chelates trace metals to stabilize the formula and minimize free-radical formation . A lightweight hydroxyethyl cellulose gel base ensures smooth application and controlled release overnight, and the gentle preservative system (1 % phenoxyethanol, 0.1 % sorbic acid) maintains efficacy without irritation.
