Description
Clear Skin Supplement — Skin C with Zinc, Niacinamide, Folic Acid & Copper
Skin C is a targeted clear skin supplement combining Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Zinc Picolinate, Folic Acid, and Copper — a nutrient combination studied in dermatology research for its role in calming inflammatory skin, regulating oil production, and supporting the skin’s barrier and repair processes. This isn’t a single-ingredient product; it’s a combination formula built around ingredients that work through different, complementary mechanisms rather than relying on one nutrient alone.
Halaal certified. Made in South Africa. 60 gelatin-free veggie capsules.

Key Benefits
- Calms inflammatory breakouts — niacinamide has documented anti-inflammatory action and helps reduce sebum (oil) production, a key driver of acne
- Antibacterial support — zinc has natural antimicrobial properties that help limit the growth of acne-causing bacteria
- Skin barrier support — niacinamide supports ceramide production, helping maintain a stronger, more resilient skin barrier
- Reduces redness & irritation — the niacinamide-zinc combination is studied for inflammatory skin conditions, helping calm visible redness
- Supports cell repair — Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) supports cell renewal, working alongside zinc and niacinamide as part of a combined nutrient approach to skin repair
- Supports collagen & connective tissue — Copper is a cofactor in the enzyme responsible for cross-linking collagen and elastin, supporting skin structure and wound repair
Why this combination specifically
Niacinamide and zinc work through different, non-overlapping mechanisms — niacinamide addresses the skin barrier and oil production at the gland level, while zinc targets acne-causing bacteria and inflammation through a separate pathway. Clinical research combining oral nicotinamide with zinc and folic acid has shown meaningful reductions in lesion counts in acne-prone skin, which is the basis for this formulation. Using ingredients that work on different mechanisms, rather than one ingredient alone, is why this combination is commonly recommended over single-nutrient approaches.
How to use
Take 1 capsule twice daily. Skin supplements work cumulatively — visible improvements in breakouts, redness, and skin texture are typically reported over several weeks of regular use, not overnight.
Who it’s for
Adults dealing with occasional breakouts, oily or inflamed skin, or looking for ongoing skin support alongside their regular skincare routine. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, including acne vulgaris. If pregnant, breastfeeding, or on chronic medication, consult your healthcare provider before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Skin C contain?
Each capsule contains Niacinamide 375mg, Zinc Picolinate 25mg, Copper 0.75mg, and Folic Acid 0.25mg. Taken as directed (1 capsule twice daily), this delivers 750mg Niacinamide, 50mg Zinc Picolinate, 1.5mg Copper, and 0.5mg Folic Acid per day.
Does zinc and niacinamide actually help with acne?
Clinical studies combining oral niacinamide (nicotinamide) with zinc and folic acid have shown reductions in inflammatory lesion counts in people with acne-prone skin. Results vary between individuals, and this isn’t a substitute for medical treatment of moderate-to-severe acne.
How is niacinamide different from niacin?
Niacinamide (nicotinamide) and niacin are both forms of Vitamin B3, but niacin can cause a flushing reaction at standard doses, while niacinamide does not. Skin C uses niacinamide specifically to avoid that effect.
How long before I see results?
Most people take several weeks of consistent daily use before noticing changes in breakouts, oiliness, or skin texture. This is a gradual, cumulative supplement, not a fast-acting treatment.
Why does Skin C include Copper alongside Zinc?
High zinc intake over time can deplete the body’s copper levels, since the two minerals compete for absorption. Including a small amount of copper alongside zinc helps maintain that balance, which is a standard practice in supplement formulation whenever zinc is dosed at higher, targeted levels.
Is Skin C suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. The capsules are gelatin-free veggie capsules.
Is Skin C Halaal certified?
Yes, Skin C is Halaal certified.
