Product Info

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

How is this different from Pigment Gel HQ Free?

Vitamin B3 Brightening Serum is an all-over brightening serum led by 6% niacinamide, so along with evening tone it strengthens the barrier and helps calm the look of redness and yellowing. Pigment Gel HQ Free is a targeted spot treatment with lactic, kojic and azelaic acids plus phenylethyl resorcinol for stubborn discoloration. Many clients use the B3 serum all over and the gel on specific spots.

Can I use it with vitamin C or retinol?

Yes. Niacinamide works well alongside most actives. PCA Skin recommends applying it after cleansing, toning and any other PCA Skin treatment serums, so it layers after vitamin C in the morning or a retinol at night. If your skin is sensitive, introduce one new active at a time.

Is it good for sensitive or redness-prone skin?

For many people, yes. It's fragrance-free and hydroquinone-free, and PCA Skin formulated the niacinamide to improve barrier function and visibly reduce redness. A small number of people notice temporary warmth or flushing with niacinamide; if that happens, use it once a day until your skin adjusts. If redness is persistent or comes with bumps or flushing, see a provider to rule out rosacea.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

The formula contains no hydroquinone or retinoids, but always check with your physician before starting any new skincare product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

How soon will I see results?

Skin often looks more hydrated and even right away, but fading dark spots takes time. Expect a gradual change over several weeks of twice-daily use, with continued improvement over a few months. Daily broad-spectrum SPF protects your progress.

How long does a bottle last?

Used as directed, a few drops for the face and neck twice a day, a 30 mL bottle typically lasts about six to eight weeks, depending on how much you use.
