AXIS-Y

AXIS-Y is built around 5% niacinamide, and that is a deliberate ceiling rather than a shortfall. Higher percentages irritate more without correcting tone any faster, and 5% is the level most skin can use daily and indefinitely.

Vegan and fragrance-free across the range, with dark spot correction as the through-line rather than an add-on to something else.

A good first active brand — nothing here will purge you or make you photosensitive. Pair it with sunscreen, because tone work without SPF quietly undoes itself. See Niacinamide.
