Peptide-and-niacinamide serum for a glazed finish; more makeup-like than treatment.

What the community says

Backed by 57 studies

A peptide-and-niacinamide serum people layer after a milky toner, before treatment serums, or under foundation for a glossy finish. Reddit discussion frames it more as immediate prettifying skincare than a treatment, and sensitive users may limit frequency.
