Understand Niacinamide

What it is

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 used to support balance in the skin.

It helps improve the look of uneven tone, visible pores, excess shine, and a barrier that feels weakened.

Who it suits

Niacinamide is a strong choice for skin that looks dull, uneven, oily, or prone to congestion.

It can also suit breakout-prone routines that need balance, hydration, and barrier support without a heavy finish.

How to use it

This ingredient can appear across toners, essences, serums, moisturizers, masks, and other formulas.

Apply from lightest to richest texture, and follow the directions for the specific product.

Pairs Well With

Hyaluronic Acid
To add hydration and keep skin feeling comfortable.

Centella Asiatica
To support comfort when skin feels reactive, red, or easily unsettled.

Vitamin C
To support brightness, tone, and a more refined-looking complexion.
