Therapium NIACARIS™ Pore Refining Gel Cream
A light gel with 5% niacinamide for midday shine and pore texture.
Niacinamide at 5% pairs with organic ginkgo leaf extract and seaweed algin in a true gel that disappears in seconds, in a 50 ml pump bottle.
What it does
- Smoother, more even-looking skin — 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3), as printed on the pack, helps smooth the look of uneven tone and surface texture.
- Weightless surface hydration — glycerin draws water into the upper skin layers, keeping skin feeling soft and comfortable.
- No oils, no heavy film — light algin and cellulose gum create a clean gel texture that absorbs in seconds under sunscreen or make-up.

What the science says
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) — In a split-face study of 5% niacinamide against a vehicle, the niacinamide side showed less of the look of fine lines, dark spots, red blotchiness and sallowness, and better elasticity. In lab models niacinamide reduced pigment transfer to the surface skin layers, and on the face dark spots looked lighter after 4 weeks. [1][2]
Glycerin — Research on glycerin found it improves hydration of the outermost skin layer, the skin's moisture barrier and its softness and suppleness. [3]
The cited niacinamide studies used 5% (and, in one study, 2%) niacinamide in their own formulas; ours lists niacinamide third of 13 ingredients and the pack prints 5%. We quote no study on pores and do not claim pore shrinkage, only a smoother, fresher-looking surface. Alcohol is second, which gives the quick-drying, weightless finish. Ginkgo leaf extract comes after the fragrance, so it is a small amount.
These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.
