Niacinamide

INCI Niacinamide

Active Multi-functional

What it is & what it does

Vitamin B3 derivative used to support barrier function, improve uneven tone, regulate the look of excess oil and enhance overall skin resilience.
Niacinamide is the amide form of vitamin B3 and is valued because it supports several skin functions at once. It can help reinforce the barrier by supporting ceramide production, improve the appearance of uneven tone, reduce the look of excess surface oil and support smoother-looking texture. Unlike exfoliating acids, it does not work by removing surface cells, which makes it easier to combine with many routines.

Usage & cautions

High-strength formulas can occasionally cause flushing or irritation in sensitive skin.
