Four measured actives, one easy daily serum

Acnes Lab did not build this 25ml serum around a vague botanical story. The formula states exactly what it brings: 5% panthenol, 5% niacinamide, 1% hyaluronic acid and 0.1% centella asiatica extract. That makes it a practical choice when you want a simple hydrating serum with ingredients you can actually recognise on the front of the routine.

Panthenol is here for a soft, hydrated skin feel. Niacinamide gives the formula a more balanced, polished finish, while hyaluronic acid helps the serum sit comfortably under moisturiser. The small amount of centella asiatica rounds out the texture with a familiar K beauty ingredient. Nothing about it needs a complicated routine: cleanse, apply a few drops, then seal it in with cream.

What makes this formula useful

The percentages are the point. A real 5% panthenol dose gives the serum its moisture focused character, and 5% niacinamide means it is more than a basic hyaluronic acid layer. It has enough structure to earn a place in a morning routine, under sunscreen, or in the evening when you want to keep the rest of your steps quiet.

How to use it well

Apply one or two pumps to clean, dry skin after toner. Press rather than rub, then follow with moisturiser. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. If you already use several strong exfoliating or retinoid products, add this serum on alternate nights first so you can see how your skin gets along with the routine. Patch test before first use and stop if irritation occurs.

Good fit for

Anyone who prefers ingredient led skincare over scented, decorative formulas. It is especially easy to pair with a basic cleanser and cream, or to keep on hand for days when a longer routine feels like too much.
