November 07, 2023

Niacinamide is a science-y sounding skincare component that's often overshadowed by trending (and easy to pronounce!) ingredients like CBD. But it's a proven ingredient that boasts numerous benefits and has the clinicals to back up its claims making it well worth incorporating into your skincare regimen. Today we're breaking down this do-it-all hero and, by the end, you might just feel like making niacinamide one of your new favorites.

 

A Multi-Tasking Powerhouse

 

Also known as nicotinamide or niacin, niacinamide is one of the two major forms of vitamin B3. This essential nutrient can be ingested via food or taken as a supplement, but it's also incorporated into topical skincare formulations.

 

Niacinimde makes sure moisture stays locked into your skin. Not just in the short-term, but over time since it actually can strengthen the skin's barrier. 

 

Who Should be Using Niacinamide?

 

Considering its wide range of benefits, pretty much everyone can reap the rewards of including niacinamide in their skincare regimen.

As with anything applied to the skin, there's always a possibility that you might be sensitive to niacinamide. Though it's not as potent as, say, an AHA or retinol, some have experienced mild stinging, burning, itching, or redness. It is best to test a small area before slathering all over. To do this, apply a small amount to your forearm and assess for possible reactions over the next 72 hours. If everything is fine, you're good to apply to your face and see the benefits of this skincare super vitamin.
