Niacinamide is a multi-functional superstar ingredient that can normalize pores, soothe acne-prone skin, improve the skin barrier and even lighten hyperpigmentation. This formula contains a whopping 10%, ideal to improve the appearance of acne and blemish-prone skin. 

To further enhance Niacinamide's already awesome problem solving skills, we have included Zinc PCA and Sarcosine, both known to help enlarged pores, oiliness and blemishes.

B-Bomb is non-drying and has a light, hydrating feel to it. We paid special attention to the texture of the product, so that it integrates well into routines with multiple layers. It has a thin gel consistency that does not pill and plays well with the other products in a well-rounded skincare routine. 

who is it for?

Pretty much anyone who is looking to add Niacinamide to their skincare routine. It is especially recommended for combination and oily skin.

how to use

Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing (+ toning and exfoliating), but before using emulsions and/or creams. Can be used either in the AM and/or PM.

It can be used on its own, or you can add it to another product as a Niacinamide Booster e.g. your moisturizer or our HA 5 Serums - just put a few drops of each into your palm or apply a few drops of them directly to your face at the same time and pat them on together. Please do not add B-Bomb directly to acids, such as exfoliating acids or pure Vitamin C - you can use them in the same routine together layered on top of each other, but they don't mix well directly (e.g. in your palm).  

Shelf life: 2 years from production (unopened), 6 months PAO (period after opening)

Cons won pros

I’ve been using this for 3 months now. This product has helped my oily T-zone but at the same time it has caused me lots of blackheads. I’ve never had that issue before. Therefore I won’t be repurchasing this serum.

Un super produit : efficace, très hydratant, et ne pique absolument pas ma peau. Je le recommanderai

Un super produit : efficace, très hydratant, et ne pique absolument pas ma peau, alors que j'avais cette appréhension avec le 10% de niacinamide. Encore un produit G&G que je recommanderai c'est une certitude.
