Niacinamide: The Magical Skincare Ingredient 💫

Updated: Feb 1, 2023

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is one the best skincare ingredients out there, and it works just like magic!


One of the first benefits of Niacinamide is that it has the power to protect against the environment, like UV rays, pollution, dirt, fine dust, etc. and we will break it down for you.



What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a derivative of Whole grains, Nuts & Legumes, Green vegetables, and eggs. Ect. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, it can be thought like a derivative of B3 but not in the same condition and it can act in different ways depending on how it is used but since we’re are talking about skincare you can find this form in your creams, serum, toner, lotion, mists, and the list goes on and on.


What are the benefits of Niacinamide?

  1. Provides sun protection and further sun damage

  2. Helps improve fine lines and is very good for anti-aging

  3. Helps with sun spots and other types of dark spots caused by sun damage

  4. Helps with redness and sensitive skin

  5. Improves uneven skin tone

  6. Strengthen skin barrier

  7. Reduces inflammation

What's the best way to start using Niacinamide?

Even though Niacinamide is effective and can be used on all skin types, it is better if you start using Niacinamide in low percentages and slowly go up until your skin gets used to it. We recommend starting at 5%.


What is the best way to use niacinamide?

Since niacinamide is water soluble, the best form of niacinamide is using it as a serum, toner, and/or essence and keeping the ingredients as one of the first ones to apply in your skincare routine.
