NB Skin Science Skin Counselling
Choosing the right active for your skin matters.
At NB Skin Science, we believe skincare should be selected according to the individual skin rather than trends alone.
Our Skin Counselling approach considers your skin type, visible concerns, current skincare routine, lifestyle and how your skin responds to active ingredients.
The Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum may be suitable when your skincare goals include:
-
Improving the appearance of uneven skin tone
-
Refining visible post-breakout marks
-
Supporting blemish-prone skin
-
Minimising the appearance of enlarged pores
-
Balancing visible excess oil
-
Improving uneven skin texture
-
Brightening dull-looking skin
-
Softening the appearance of fine lines
Introducing Your Serum
If your skin is new to Bakuchiol, Niacinamide or active serums, introduce the product gradually.
Begin with the serum approximately 3–5 evenings per week at night , followed by your recommended NB Skin Science Moisturiser. Then introduce in the morning, followed by NB Skin Science Moisturiser and Sunscreen.
Allow your skin time to adjust before increasing frequency.
Read the Skin
Your skin can change according to weather, lifestyle, stress, treatments and other products being used.
If your skin begins to feel unusually dry, tight or uncomfortable, reduce the frequency of active products and focus on hydration and barrier support.
At NB Skin Science, we believe in reading the skin rather than forcing the routine.
Combining Active Serums
When introducing the Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum together with the Collagen Peptide Booster Serum, alternate the two serums initially rather than layering them together.
For example:
First 3–5 nights: Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum
Following 3 nights: Collagen Peptide Booster Serum
Once your skin is comfortable with both serums, your routine can be adjusted according to your individual skin needs.
For Glassy, Glowing Skin
For an extra boost of hydration and glow, layer your NB Skin Science products in this order:
Hyaluronic Serum → Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum → Day & Night Cream
During the day, always finish with sunscreen.
This layering routine helps support hydrated, smoother and more luminous-looking skin.
During Breakout Periods
When the skin is experiencing more breakouts, excess oil or visible post-breakout marks, you can increase the frequency of the Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum, provided the skin remains comfortable.
Keep the rest of the routine simple and supportive:
Cleanser → Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum → Moisturiser
During the day, always finish with sunscreen.
If the skin starts to feel dry, tight or uncomfortable, reduce the frequency and return to a more hydrating routine.

Already Using Other Actives?
If you are already using retinol, exfoliating acids, peels or several active serums, avoid introducing everything at once.
Contact NB Skin Science for Skin Counselling if you are unsure how to combine your existing skincare with the Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum.

How to Use
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin.
When introducing the serum, begin in the evening approximately 3–5 times per week.
Follow with your recommended NB Skin Science moisturiser.
As your skin becomes accustomed to the product, frequency can be adjusted according to your individual skin needs.
For daytime use, always complete your routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
NB Skin Science Tip
Active skincare does not need to be rushed.
Introduce one active at a time, observe how your skin responds and build your routine gradually.
When using the Collagen Peptide Booster Serum, alternate it with the Bakuchiol & Niacinamide Serum initially rather than layering the two together.
Important
Patch test before first use.
Introduce new active skincare products gradually.
Avoid introducing several new active products at the same time.
Discontinue use if persistent irritation or discomfort occurs.
Daily sunscreen is recommended.
