Niacinamide for Skin: Benefits and How to Use It
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and one of the ingredients that suits most skin types, which is why it appears in so many serums and dermatologists recommend it so often.
Benefits of niacinamide
- Reduces oil and makes enlarged pores look smaller.
- Fades dark spots and acne marks with regular use.
- Strengthens the skin barrier, so skin gets less sensitive and red.
- Evens out skin tone and adds radiance.
The right concentration
A 5% to 10% concentration is enough for most people. If your skin is sensitive, start lower or use it every other day at first. Higher isn't always better and can cause mild redness.
How to add it to your routine
- Cleanse with a cleanser suited to your skin type.
- Toner, if you use one.
- 2 to 3 drops of niacinamide serum over the whole face.
- Moisturiser.
- Sunscreen in the morning.
You can use it morning and night, and it pairs well with most ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and retinol.
You'll usually notice less oil within about two weeks; dark spots need 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use.
