How to Use

AM / PM

CLEANSE WITH BAOBAB CLAY OXYGENATING CLEANSER

Gently cleanse to remove impurities and prepare the skin for optimal absorption.

HYDRATE WITH MICRO-HYDRATION ACTIVATOR MIST

Mist generously over the face, neck and décolleté to replenish hydration and balance the skin.

STRENGTHEN WITH NIACINAMIDE PLUMPING BOOSTER

Apply 1–2 pumps to the face, neck and décolleté to visibly refine, hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier.

RESTORE WITH SILVER RESCUE CREAM

Finish with Silver Rescue Cream to replenish moisture, calm visible redness and reinforce the skin's protective barrier.

The Formula

Engineered to rebuild skin resilience

Rather than targeting a single concern, this multi-correctional booster restores the essential functions of healthy skin. It strengthens the moisture barrier, replenishes hydration and helps improve visible clarity, texture and firmness through one integrated formula.

The Technology

Barrier synchronization technology

Powered by an advanced concentration of 20% Niacinamide, this intelligent technology synchronizes the skin's barrier, microbiome, hydration network and antioxidant defenses. Biomimetic hydrators, probiotics and soothing bio-actives work together to maximize performance while maintaining exceptional skin comfort and compatibility.

The Source

Bio-adaptive botanicals meet microbiome science

Resilient botanicals, marine bio-actives and probiotic technology come together to support the skin's natural ecosystem, helping restore balance while defending against daily environmental stress.

The Ingredients

More than a niacinamide serum

Plant-Derived Collagen, Brown Algae, Panthenol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and antioxidant-rich botanicals are carefully selected to amplify the performance of Niacinamide, creating a complete barrier-support system rather than a single-ingredient treatment.

Why This Formula Matters

Healthy skin begins with a strong, resilient barrier that regulates hydration, protects against environmental stress and supports optimal cellular function. When this barrier becomes compromised, moisture is lost more rapidly while redness, enlarged pores, uneven texture and visible signs of aging become increasingly pronounced. Niacinamide Plumping Booster combines high-strength Niacinamide with microbiome-supporting probiotics, biomimetic hydration and antioxidant-rich botanicals to restore barrier integrity and reveal smoother, calmer, healthier-looking skin.

I.

BARRIER STRENGTHENING TECHNOLOGY

Powered by 20% Niacinamide, this advanced formula helps reinforce the skin's natural barrier, improve moisture retention and visibly refine enlarged pores while promoting a smoother, more balanced complexion.

II.

MICROBIOME BALANCING COMPLEX

Probiotic Bioferment helps support a healthy skin microbiome, promoting a balanced environment that improves skin resilience while reducing visible signs of irritation and blemish-prone skin.

III.

PLUMPING HYDRATION NETWORK

Plant-Derived Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol and Brown Algae replenish hydration, improve skin elasticity and leave the complexion looking visibly firmer, smoother and more supple.

IV.

BIO-ADAPTIVE ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSE

Rooibos, Honeybush, Vitamin C and Vitamin E help defend against environmental stress while calming visible redness and supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

FAQ

The Niacinamide Plumping Booster is a skin-fortifying treatment from African Botanics built around an advanced 20% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) concentration. It hydrates, plumps, and refines in one step — tightening pores, brightening uneven tone, calming redness, and strengthening the skin barrier — supported by probiotics, plant-derived collagen, and a stabilized form of Vitamin C.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is one of the most versatile skincare actives. It visibly minimizes enlarged pores, evens skin tone, softens fine lines, strengthens the barrier, and helps regulate oil — while calming redness and inflammation. At 20%, this booster delivers those benefits at an advanced concentration for more visible, multi-correcting results.
20% is a high, results-driven concentration, but niacinamide is exceptionally well-tolerated — far gentler than many actives at that strength. This formula pairs it with soothing probiotics, panthenol, Rooibos, and Honeybush to keep it comfortable for all skin types, including sensitive. If you're new to niacinamide or have reactive skin, start once daily and build to twice as your skin adjusts.
Yes. The long-standing idea that niacinamide and Vitamin C can't be combined is a myth — they work well together, and this booster contains both: 20% niacinamide alongside 3% sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a stable form of Vitamin C. Together they brighten, even tone, and defend against environmental stress more effectively than either alone.
The probiotic bioferment helps balance the skin's microbiome, regulate pH, and promote cell turnover. This supports clearer, more resilient skin — reducing breakouts while keeping the complexion plump and dewy. It's what makes this more than a standard niacinamide serum: it treats skin health at the barrier and microbiome level.
Enlarged pores, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, dullness, redness, inflammation, and early signs of aging. It's also well-suited to blemish-prone and dehydrated skin, strengthening the barrier and boosting hydration while it refines and brightens.
All skin types, including sensitive. It's particularly well-suited to dehydrated, dull, aging, acne-prone, and reactive skin — the soothing and barrier-supporting ingredients make the high niacinamide concentration comfortable across skin types.
Apply 1–2 pumps to freshly cleansed skin — face, neck, and décolleté — morning and/or evening. Use it on its own as a plumping, brightening booster, or mix it into any moisturizer or serum to fold its benefits into your existing routine.
Yes. It's gentle enough for twice-daily use. In the morning, the niacinamide and Vitamin C help defend against environmental stress under SPF; at night, they support barrier repair and renewal. Use once daily to start if your skin is new to niacinamide.
Yes. Niacinamide pairs well with most actives and actually helps buffer the barrier, making it a good companion to retinol — apply the booster to support hydration and reduce the dryness retinol can cause. It also layers easily under moisturizer, oil, and SPF.
Yes. Niacinamide is one of the most effective ingredients for visibly refining enlarged pores, and at 20% it works alongside caffeine and allantoin to tighten, tone, and smooth — for a more refined, even texture over time.
Skin often looks plumper, calmer, and more hydrated within the first one to two weeks. More visible improvements in pore appearance, tone, and texture typically develop with consistent daily use over 4 to 8 weeks.
Niacinamide is generally considered one of the more suitable actives during pregnancy, and this formula is fragrance-free and retinol-free. As with any skincare product, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider before adding it to your routine.
No. The Niacinamide Plumping Booster is fragrance-free and essential-oil-free, making it well-suited to sensitive and reactive skin. It's also cruelty-free.
The texture is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that leaves skin plump, smooth, and dewy — never sticky or heavy. It layers cleanly under other products.
