SKINFOOD’s Lemongrass Niacinamide Serum runs one of K-beauty’s highest niacinamide loads alongside galactomyces ferment and ceramide, in a thick ampoule texture with a moist, fluffy finish — vegan certified, non-comedogenic tested, and irritation tested despite the concentration. Built for sensitive skin with oily ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide is skincare’s great multitasker — pores, tone brightening, trouble-spot soothing, barrier improvement, sebum control, moisture — and at 20% this serum bets on the ceiling dose. The supporting cast keeps it wearable: lemongrass balances sebum and water, galactomyces smooths and clarifies (the ferment of glow-serum fame), and ceramide rebuilds the barrier the concentration works through. The certification stack — vegan, non-comedogenic, irritation tested — covers the questions a 20% formula must answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter toner, a dropper’s worth pressed over the face, starting evenings-only for the first week — high-percentage niacinamide deserves a polite introduction. Build to twice daily; pair with the matching 5% pads for the gradient routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It’s For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOily, pore-focused, tone-uneven skin that has outgrown 5% formulas; vegan-first shoppers.

Sensitive newcomers should start with the 5% pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it clog pores or cause flushing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-comedogenic tested, and niacinamide is flush-free by nature (that reputation belongs to niacin, its cousin). A rare tingle at high percentages settles as skin adapts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix it with vitamin C or acids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide pairs peacefully with almost everything — the old incompatibility myth is retired.
