Even though Geek & Gorgeous is a young brand, if I want to go back to our beginnings, that would be more than 15 years ago. I was 17 when I developed horrible acne. For years, I tried out a bunch of things including tons of cosmetic products, facials, and visits to the dermatologist. What eventually helped was not some miracle cure but me starting to learn about skincare and clinically proven active ingredients. After years of randomly trying things and failing, I started to obsessively read and learn. I read all the books by Paula Begoun and then went on to read the famous Cosmetic Dermatology book by Dr. Leslie Baumann. I read more and more science based skincare blogs, forums, and eventually research studies. In 2019, I completed the SCS Diploma in Cosmetic Science issued by the Society of Cosmetic Chemists in the UK.

Ingredients
A light and hydrating 10% Niacinamide (aka Vitamin B3), Zinc PCA and Sarcosine formula to help combination skin related problems such as enlarged pores, oiliness, and blemishes.
Niacinamide is a multi-functional superstar ingredient that can normalize pores, soothe acne-prone skin, improve the skin barrier and even lighten hyperpigmentation. This formula contains a whopping 10%, ideal to improve the appearance of acne and blemish prone skin.
To further enhance Niacinamide's already awesome problem solving skills, we have included Zinc PCA and Sarcosine, both known to help enlarged pores, oiliness and blemishes.
B-Bomb is non-drying and has a light, hydrating feel to it. We paid special attention to the texture of the product so that it integrates well into routines with multiple layers. It has a thin gel consistency that does not pill and plays well with the other products in a well-rounded skincare routine.
Pretty much anyone who is looking to add Niacinamide to their skincare routine. It is especially recommended for combination and oily skin.
Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing (and toning and exfoliating), but before using emulsions and/or creams. Can be used either in the AM and/or PM.
It can be used on its own or you can also add it to another product as a Niacinamide Booster. Do not add it to direct acids, such as exfoliating acids or pure Vitamin C. It mixes well for with our HA 5 Serums.
Key ingredients:
Niacinamide (10%) – A multi-functional superstar that can normalize pores, soothe acne prone skin, improve the skin barrier and lighten hyperpigmentation.
Zinc PCA – A combination of antibacterial and sebum normalizing Zinc with the humectant molecule found in the skin called PCA (stands for pyrrolidone carboxylic acid). Zinc PCA has the property of both, meaning it is a gentle, non-drying ingredient known to help acne-prone and oily skin.
Sarcosine: An amino-acid derived ingredient that works as a so called 5α-reductase inhibitor helping to normalise oil-production and pore size.
