Its ultra-lightweight gel-serum texture absorbs instantly, leaving skin feeling deeply hydrated and refreshed.

Lightweight, gel-like serum that soaks in quickly without feeling sticky — great for layering under moisturiser morning and night.

This Niacinamide Alternative Cream didn’t work as well for me as I had hoped. While it’s gentle and easy to apply, I didn’t notice much improvement in my dark spots, redness, or overall skin tone over time. The texture felt fine on my skin, but I didn’t see the brightening or smoothing effects that others might experience.

Delightful moisturising

Delightful moisturising. Skin soaks it up fast & becomes radiant for tge day.

Love this

Love this. The feeling on the skin.

I love the product. I have acne problem for last few years and searching for better working products for a while and then finally I found Madara. It's working and calming my skin better than ever!

This serum is one of my favourite. My skin looks cleaner and hydrated after using it for a few months. I really noticed a difference. I use it mostly in the morning before my City CC cream. It absorbs quickly, I like the smell and makes my skin smooth. You have to use it a while to see results, but once you do, they last.

Nice texture, pleasant smell, but I don't see to works for me I can't notice less dark sports or smaller pores since using it.

I used to use traditional niacinamide and it helped my skin a lot, but I am very happy with this natural alternative! I use it as part of my routine every evening and like how my skin feels after it.

Got this one as a gift during one of Madara offers. Great texture and fast absorbance, the smell is just a bit weird. Visible results. Will purchase when I run out. A very good serum, almost as good as the retinol one.

Love the texture, perfect for oily skin and reduces redness and makes my skin feel more tight. I like to use it every morning

Ļoti labs serums, labi mitrina, patīkama konsistence, bet vairāk derēs sausai ādai. Taukainai ādai noteikti būs vēl taukainākas ādas efekts.

Lielisks serums problemātiskai un apsārtušai ādai. Vienlaicīgi arī mitrina ādu un padara toni vienmērīgu.

Frequently asked questions

How does this serum compare to traditional niacinamide serums?

Unlike traditional niacinamide serums that use synthetic vitamin B3, our niacinamide alternative harnesses the power of natural plant extracts to achieve similar effects. It provides comparable, dermatologically proven benefits such as refining pores, evening skin tone and controlling oil production, but with a gentler approach that is ideal for sensitive skin.

Is this serum suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

Yes, we’ve designed the Niacinamide Alternative 5-in-1 Serum to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle, plant-based formula is free from synthetic ingredients, making it a safe option for those with sensitive complexions.

How often should I use this serum in my skincare routine?

You can use the niacinamide alternative serum daily, both in the morning and evening. Apply it after cleansing and toning, then follow up with your favourite MÁDARA moisturiser. For best results, use consistently as part of your regular skincare routine.

Is this serum vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, this serum is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We do not test on animals during any stage of product development—never have and never will.

Is it necessary to wear sunscreen when using Niacinamide Alternative 5-in-1 Serum?

While our niacinamide alternative does not increase sun sensitivity, it’s always recommended to use broad spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV damage while enhancing your skincare routine’s overall effectiveness.
