From dull skin to wrinkles, niacinamide has quickly become the go-to skincare ingredient for tackling a range of skin concerns. A form of vitamin B3, it's super water-soluble, so it's easily absorbed by your skin, and it's loved by most skin types too.
Niacinamide works by repairing cellular damage - which is why it's perfect for addressing blemishes and hyperpigmentation. And it simultaneously protects your complexion from environmental stressors too. Think the sunlight, pollution and environmental toxins.
Niacinamide is available in different concentrations - usually 2% to 20% - so even total beginners can get started with this powerhouse ingredient. The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is formulated to promote more radiant, even skin. It's boosted with zinc to help absorb excess oils - perfect for combination to oily skin types. Struggling with dark spots? The First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Niacinamide Dark Spot Serum is your answer. Its blend of innovative ingredients perfect your complexion by tackling uneven skin tones and textures. And if you're looking for a potent formula, your search ends with The INKEY List Super Solutions 20% Niacinamide Serum!
You can use niacinamide morning and evening to tackle everything from dry and dull skin to blemishes, acne, inflammation and enlarged pores. Apply it to your face and neck after cleansing, but before moisturising. While you can apply it underneath your eyes, it's best used for treating problem areas on your face and neck. And because niacinamide is a vitamin, it's also perfectly safe to use with retinols, AHAs and BHAs too.
