Facial care with niacinamide (vitamin B3)
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports the production of lipids and ceramides, which are important for the skin barrier. In well-formulated serums and creams, it can strengthen the skin barrier, even out an uneven skin tone, and improve the appearance of fine lines. Niacinamide is also commonly used for hyperpigmentation and redness.
Niacinamide can also help reduce visible shine and make pores appear less noticeable. This makes the ingredient interesting for oily skin and skin prone to blemishes. The results depend on the concentration and the overall formulation. Niacinamide skincare is not a substitute for medical acne treatment.
