What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 specifically used for skincare and is known for its soothing and healing properties.
Niacinamide advantages are so wide-ranging that including it to your skincare routine is basically like taking a daily multivitamin. As it seeps deeply into the skin, its antioxidizing properties allow it to work its magic from within.
Benefits of Niacinamide:
• Rebuilds healthy skin cells
• Minimizes large pores and tightens relaxed pores
• Prevents and fades hyperpigmentation by evening out your skin tone and retaining your skin’s natural lightness
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Treats blemishes
• Helps repair damaged DNA
• Treats blemishes
• Promotes the natural production of keratin which keeps your skin feeling and looking youthfully firm
• Strengthens the skin barrier, retaining moisture and shielding the face from environmental damage
• Regulates sebum production
• Minimizes redness on your skin
How to apply Niacinamide?
For best results Niacinamide should be applied on damp skin to enhance its absorbency.
Remember, you can use more than one niacinamide skin care product in your routine!
Don't forget the order to apply products. We recommend the thinnest to thickest (texture), and finish with oil as the final step in your skincare routine.
What can be used with Niacinamide?
• Niacinamide and Vitamin C
Vitamin C has potent antioxidizing properties that protect the skin from free radicals caused by exposure to UV rays and is essential for collagen production.
Which ever product (Niacinamide or Vitamin C) is thinner, should be applied first. Allow enough time for the first to be fully absorbed before applying the second!
• Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid
Pairing niacinamid and salicylic acid together is typically a success in controlling sebum production, making this a perfect combination for people with acne-prone, oily skin or combination skin. Salicylic acid actively fights against blemishes, whilst niacinamide ensures that your skin retains moisture which is essential in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and youthful glow.
