| Verdict | The serum every beauty editor name-drops. Peptides, bakuchiol, multiple actives — genuinely multi-tasking. | Synergie Skin's hero product and one of Australia's most cited cosmeceutical serums. 13% niacinamide is in the upper-bound clinical range for tone-evening, pore-reducing, and sebum-regulating action, and the panthenol pairing softens the niacinamide-flush risk. Notable for what it doesn't have: parabens, sulphates, mineral oils, propylene glycol, or MIT/MCI preservatives. Notable for what it does: rose geranium essential oil for scent and a touch of natural colour from caramel. The Australian alternative to The Ordinary's 10% niacinamide at 30% higher concentration and substantially higher pricing. |
