Anti Blemish
I want to make a anti-blemish serum.
Was thinking of 2% Hyaluronic Acid ( 1% Solution ) as well as 5% Nicotinamide.
Thoughts on this please.

I would suggest you to write a full formula, prepare a sample and come back to us with issues.

I use 10% niacinamide in my hyaluronic acid serum. But its a good start. I think witch hazel and NAG are good for acne too. But from experience you don’t need to add a million ingredients to make a good product.

A few things:
1. There is quite a good number of papers out there, showing that 4% niacinamide is the “sweet spot” for dealing with acne/acne prone skin.
2. When making cosmetics, less is usually more: using 10% of niacinamide as suggested here will only pave the road to sensitize the skin, plus there is no data showing that at that level will bring more benefits.
3. It could prove useful to pair niacinamide with some other beneficial ingredients.
