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

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.

Hyaluronic Acid

Centella Asiatica
