APLB Spicule Niacinamide Shot 260 Cream Moisturizing Cream with Niacinamide 55 ml
A Korean face cream combining moisturizing, smoothing, and brightening care with Spicule microneedle technology. The formula was developed for dull, uneven-textured skin in need of improvement. It helps smooth the skin's surface, improve skin tone, and restore freshness and softness. The cream contains the Spicule Niac Shot™ complex, which combines sponge-derived microstructures with niacinamide. The microneedles provide a gentle mechanical stimulus to the skin's surface, supporting skincare aimed at improving its texture. Niacinamide helps even out skin tone and strengthen the hydrolipid barrier, while centella asiatica leaf water and its active ingredients soothe the epidermis. The formula is enriched with beta-glucan, squalane, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and macadamia oil, which help maintain optimal hydration.
