Niacinamide is an ingredient that will be very useful in your skincare routine.
Niacinamide has always played an important role in skincare, but it is finally receiving the attention it deserves.

Now at the heart of the latest launches, it helps to reduce spots and redness, control sebum levels, and increase hydration levels (to name just a few of its many benefits).

What is niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 most often found in serums and moisturizers. It helps strengthen the skin barrier and maintain hydration levels by stimulating ceramide production. The anti-inflammatory properties of this ingredient also help soothe the skin.

How and when to use niacinamide?

Niacinamide can be used morning and night.

Because it pairs well with other skincare ingredients (even potentially delicate actives like exfoliating acids and vitamin C), it integrates perfectly with all the other products you use.


Using niacinamide during the day can also help protect your skin against sun damage; interesting data shows that niacinamide and SPF could make a dream team.

"Research has shown that niacinamide can interrupt the terrible inflammation that UV rays cause in the skin, so using a niacinamide booster under your sunscreen is a great way to protect and repair."

Who should use niacinamide?

Niacinamide is suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin, and is recommended for people with rosacea.
However, it is always wise to test a new product first and stop if you have a reaction.
