Paula's Choice Niacinamide Body Treatment 5% — Fragrance-Free 4 fl oz, Lightweight Lotion-Serum for Uneven Tone & Redness

Paula's Choice 5% Niacinamide Body Treatment is a lightweight, fragrance-free body serum that blends 5% niacinamide with 5% d-panthenol to even skin tone, soothe redness, and improve texture on chest, arms and legs.

This concentrated body lotion-serum is formulated to target patchy discoloration, rough or flaky skin, and early signs of aging across larger body areas. Lightweight and non-greasy, it layers comfortably under clothing and can be used daily to support the skin’s moisture barrier while visibly evening tone. The formula skips added fragrance and focuses on bioavailable actives for measurable-looking results without heavy occlusives.

How does this product reduce uneven tone and redness?

The key actives are 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3) and 5% d-panthenol (vitamin B5), ingredients known for barrier-supporting and brightening-compatible properties. A supporting prickly pear extract helps calm the appearance of blotchiness while the lightweight base improves delivery across larger areas.

• 5% niacinamide to help minimize the appearance of discoloration and blotchiness
• 5% d-panthenol to attract moisture and aid skin barrier repair
• Prickly pear extract provides antioxidant and calming support
• Fragrance-free formulation to limit irritation risk for sensitive skin

Will this help smooth rough texture and signs of aging on my body?

The silky serum texture is designed to smooth the look of fine lines, rough patches, and enlarged pores on the décolleté, arms and legs. Regular application supports softer, more even-feeling skin by improving surface hydration and aiding skin barrier resilience over time.

• Silky, weightless texture absorbs quickly without greasy residue
• Targets fine lines and rough, flaky patches for improved skin feel
• Suitable for use on larger body areas like chest, arms and legs
• Continued use helps maintain smoother-looking skin surface

How should I incorporate this into my daily routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin after showering or bathing while the skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture. Use it once or twice daily on areas of concern, and follow with sunscreen on sun-exposed areas during the day to protect results.

• Apply to chest, arms, legs or other targeted areas after cleansing
• Use once or twice daily depending on skin tolerance and needs
• Layer under sunscreen during the day for sun-exposed zones
• Works well beneath clothing thanks to fast absorption

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone body skin?

The formula is created to be broadly compatible: fragrance-free and balanced for normal through acne-prone types. Because it focuses on barrier support and hydration with niacinamide and panthenol, many skin types tolerate it well, but patch testing is recommended for those with a history of reactive skin.

• Fragrance-free to reduce potential irritation triggers
• Non-comedogenic texture that won’t leave heavy residue
• Appropriate for normal, oily, combination, dry and acne-prone skin
• Perform a small patch test if you have very reactive skin

Who this product is for: This treatment suits anyone wanting a targeted body serum to address uneven tone, dryness-related texture, or early signs of aging on the chest, arms and legs. It’s a practical option for people seeking a lightweight, fragrance-free formula with science-backed vitamins B3 and B5 that layers under sunscreen and clothing, and for those who prefer skincare with simpler, sustainable packaging choices.
