Niacinamide (B3)
Stabilised at 5–10%, niacinamide blocks melanin transfer to skin cells — visibly reducing dark spots and post-acne marks within 4–8 weeks. It simultaneously regulates sebum and tightens pore appearance.
Every product in The Vault earns its place because of what's inside it — not what's on the label. We explain the actives so you shop with confidence.
8 key actives. All present in products we carry.
Stabilised at 5–10%, niacinamide blocks melanin transfer to skin cells — visibly reducing dark spots and post-acne marks within 4–8 weeks. It simultaneously regulates sebum and tightens pore appearance.
Ceramides make up over 50% of the skin's natural barrier. Products delivering fractions 1, 3, and 6-II replenish this barrier, restoring its protective function clinically within 7 days.
One gram holds up to 6 litres of water. Multi-weight HA hydrates across every layer of the epidermis simultaneously — plumping, smoothing, and reducing fine-line visibility.
Alpha-arbutin inhibits tyrosinase at a cellular level. Tranexamic acid disrupts the keratinocyte–melanocyte signalling pathway. Together they deliver visible fading without irritation.
Its key compounds — asiaticoside, madecassoside, and asiatic acid — stimulate collagen synthesis while suppressing inflammatory cytokines, making it clinically effective for redness and post-procedure recovery.
AHAs (glycolic, lactic) dissolve dead cell bonds for brighter texture. BHA (salicylic acid) is oil-soluble and penetrates the pore lining — the gold-standard active for acne and congestion.
Fermented rice filtrate is rich in ferulic acid and naturally-occurring kojic acid — both of which brighten skin tone and improve luminosity over time.
No brightening serum, acid, or retinol works without SPF. UV is the primary driver of hyperpigmentation and premature ageing. Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ every morning is the highest-return habit you can build.
Every product is tagged by skin concern so you can build a routine around what your skin actually needs.

Counterfeit skincare is one of the fastest-growing problems in Nigeria. Fake products contain incorrect concentrations, unlisted preservatives, and in severe cases, unsafe heavy metals. Every product in The Vault is sourced through verified distribution channels and authenticated before it reaches you. When the science says 5% niacinamide — you're getting exactly 5%.
