5 Best Serums for Large Pores

This lightweight serum contains a 10% concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3), a multi-tasking skincare ingredient.

Niacinamide also helps minimize redness and control blemishes for a clear and even complexion.

In addition to the niacinamide, this daily serum contains a 1% concentration of hyaluronic acid, which helps keep the skin hydrated.
