FAQs

Can I use the Niacinamide TXA Serum with other active ingredients?

It's generally recommended to introduce the Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum gradually. If you are using other strong actives like retinoids or AHAs/BHAs, consider alternating them on different days or using them at different times of the day (e.g., serum in the AM, other actives in the PM) to avoid irritation. Always patch test.

Is this kit suitable for oily skin?

Yes, the kit is suitable for oily skin. The cleansing oil effectively removes excess sebum and impurities without stripping, the foam contains BHA to help control oil and exfoliate, and the sunscreen is lightweight and non-greasy.

What is the best time of day to use the serum?

The Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum can be used both in the morning and evening. However, since it targets dark spots and promotes a brighter complexion, using it in the morning routine before sunscreen is beneficial for added protection and treatment throughout the day. If you experience any sensitivity, start with evening use.

How long will it take to see results from the serum?

Results can vary depending on individual skin concerns and consistency of use. Typically, noticeable improvements in dark spots and skin tone with niacinamide and tranexamic acid can be observed within 4-8 weeks of consistent daily use.

Do I need a separate moisturizer if I use the sunscreen?

The Zero-Cast Moisturising Suncream does provide hydration. For normal to oily skin types, it might be sufficient on its own. However, if you have dry or very dry skin, you may wish to layer your preferred moisturizer underneath the sunscreen for additional hydration.

Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?

The products are generally formulated to be gentle, especially the cleansing oil and sunscreen. However, the Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum contains high concentrations of active ingredients. Sensitive skin types should perform a patch test first and introduce the serum slowly, reducing frequency if any irritation occurs.

Troubleshooting

Skin feels tight or dry after cleansing

Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly. You can also follow the cleansing oil immediately with the foam, or use slightly less foam if your skin is particularly dry. If dryness persists, consider adding a dedicated moisturizer at night.

Serum causes slight tingling or redness

This can be a normal reaction to active ingredients like niacinamide and tranexamic acid. Reduce the frequency of application (e.g., every other day) and use only 1-2 drops. Gradually increase usage as your skin adjusts. If irritation continues, discontinue use.

Sunscreen leaves a white cast

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer and allowing it to absorb fully for a minute or two before applying makeup. If a white cast persists, you may be applying too much product. Try a smaller amount.

Cleansing oil doesn't remove all makeup

Ensure you are applying the oil to dry skin and massaging it thoroughly, especially over areas with heavy makeup or SPF. For very stubborn makeup, consider a dedicated eye makeup remover first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This kit is designed for immediate use. There is no setup required beyond opening the products and incorporating them into your existing routine.

Usage Order:

  1. Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil: Apply to dry skin, massage gently to melt away impurities and makeup, then rinse with water.
  2. Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam: Lather a small amount with water, massage onto the face, and rinse thoroughly.
  3. Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to clean, dry skin and gently pat in.
  4. Zero-Cast Moisturising Suncream SPF 50 PA++++: Apply generously as the final step of your morning routine.

Compatibility: This kit is formulated to be used together. The serum contains active ingredients; if using other potent treatments, introduce them gradually to avoid over-exfoliation or irritation. Suitable for most skin types, but patch testing is advised for individuals with very sensitive skin, especially with the serum.

Care: Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure caps are securely closed after each use to maintain product integrity. For the cleansing oil, avoid introducing water into the bottle. Cleanse the opening of the serum bottle if any residue builds up.
