Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a powerhouse ingredient that is commonly found in Korean, Japanese, and Western skincare products. But what exactly is niacinamide? Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, known for its trustworthy capability to alleviate acne, soothe rosacea, reduce pigmentation, and prevent signs of aging. Niacinamide is proven to increase the production of ceramides — a form of lipids that maintain the skin’s protective barriers, contributing to its abundant benefits to the skin. How does niacinamide benefit the skin? Niacinamide calms and nourishes inflammation while hydrating and fortifying the skin without causing sensitivity or irritation. Niacinamide-infused skincare products can be used at any time of day. To reap the most skincare benefits of niacinamide, consider using niacinamide in the form of a cream, toner, serum, mask — any skincare products that will stay longer on your skin, so your skin will have time to absorb the niacinamide.
