Tiam Vita B3 (Niacinamide) 10% + Arbutin 2% 40 ml

TIAM Vita B3 Source Niacinamide 10% + Arbutin 2% Serum 40 ml, developed by TIAM (TIA’M), is a lightweight Korean serum that targets dark spots, post-acne marks, uneven-looking skin tone, and excess oil without feeling heavy. It combines 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) with 2% Arbutin to brighten the complexion, reduce the look of pigmentation, and refine texture while supporting a healthier skin barrier.

Unlike some retailer listings that incorrectly reference Vitamin C, the official TIAM formula contains 10% Niacinamide and 2% Arbutin — not Alpha-Arbutin unless specifically stated. Supported by Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Sodium Hyaluronate, and botanical extracts, this fast-absorbing, water-based serum suits daily use for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin seeking a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Key Benefits

•           Reduces the look of dark spots – 10% Niacinamide and 2% Arbutin improve sun spots and post-acne marks

•           Supports brighter, more radiant skin – enhances natural radiance without a greasy finish

•           Balances excess sebum – Niacinamide helps control shine for oily and combination skin

•           Improves post-acne marks (PIH) – gradually improves discoloration, though it doesn’t remove indented scars

•           Hydrates while brightening – Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, and Allantoin maintain comfort

•           Lightweight, layerable formula – fast-absorbing, non-sticky, works under moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup

Key Ingredients

10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), the hero ingredient, brightens uneven-looking tone, regulates sebum, refines the look of enlarged pores, and strengthens the barrier — sensitive or reactive skin should introduce it gradually with a patch test. 2% Arbutin works alongside Niacinamide to target uneven pigmentation and dark spots by reducing the appearance of excess melanin, without bleaching skin; the official formula lists it simply as Arbutin, not Alpha-Arbutin.

Sodium Hyaluronate attracts and retains moisture, Allantoin soothes skin and eases dryness from active ingredients, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (from licorice root) calms visible redness. A Botanical Extract Complex (Lindera Erythrocarpa, Cornus Officinalis, Geranium Thunbergii) adds antioxidant support, while Butylene Glycol and Methylpropanediol improve absorption and texture.

Full INCI: Water, Niacinamide (10%), Arbutin (2%), Butylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Lindera Erythrocarpa Extract, Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract, Geranium Thunbergii Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin — always verify current packaging.

Product Specifications

Skin Type Suitability

Suits oily, combination, normal, and blemish-prone/acne-prone skin seeking brightening and oil control; dry skin can also use it with proper moisturizing. Because of the 10% Niacinamide concentration, those new to Niacinamide, with very sensitive or reactive skin, a damaged barrier, or active irritation/eczema should patch test and start with 2–3 applications per week.

How To Use

After cleansing (and toner, if used), apply 2–3 drops, focusing on dark spots, post-acne marks, or shiny areas, avoiding eyes and broken skin. Let absorb 30–60 seconds, then follow with moisturizer and, in the morning, broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), since UV exposure can worsen pigmentation.

Authenticity

TIAM (TIA’M) is a Korean skincare brand known for transparent formulations and clearly disclosed active ingredient concentrations. To ensure authenticity, purchase only from trusted or authorized retailers, and check packaging quality, bottle, dropper, batch code, barcode, and tamper seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is this serum used for?

A. It improves dark spots, post-acne marks, uneven-looking tone, dullness, and excess oil using 10% Niacinamide and 2% Arbutin.

Q. Does it contain Vitamin C instead of Arbutin?

A. No — despite some retailer listings, the official TIAM formula contains                                  10% Niacinamide and 2% Arbutin, not Vitamin C.

Q. Can it remove acne scars?

A. No — it targets post-acne discoloration (PIH), not indented or raised acne scars, which         are a different concern.

Q. Is it suitable for oily skin?

A. Yes — its lightweight, water-based formula and Niacinamide help support sebum                 balance for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin.

Q. Can beginners use it?

A. Yes, with caution — patch test first and start with 2–3 applications per week given the         10% Niacinamide concentration.

Q. Can I use it with Vitamin C or Retinol?

A. Yes — many use Vitamin C in the morning and this serum at night; it’s also generally           compatible with Retinol, introduced gradually.

Q. Does it cause purging?

A. No — Niacinamide and Arbutin don’t typically cause true purging; persistent irritation         suggests reducing frequency instead.

Q. How long until I see results?

A. Hydration and radiance often improve within a few weeks; dark spots and PIH typically         show improvement after 6–12 weeks of consistent use with daily sunscreen.
