Sesderma SESMAHAL B3 Liposomal Serum + Mist ingredients: is it worth it?
A decent niacinamide hydration serum undermined by fragrance and an underwhelming treatment profile.
A decent niacinamide hydration serum undermined by fragrance and an underwhelming treatment profile.
READ MORE
The efficacy score is 3.5/5: niacinamide is listed second and the brand identifies it as 6%, while glycerin plus two hyaluronate forms support hydration; however, the formula contains no disclosed concentration for salicylic acid, no barrier lipids, and no evidence of a specialized liposomal delivery system in this INCI. Its main benefits are therefore realistic but limited to niacinamide-supported barrier, oil, tone, and hydration support rather than a comprehensive acne or anti-aging treatment. The fragrance and benzyl alcohol reduce the safety score, particularly for sensitive or reactive skin.
