If your skin ever feels oily, sensitive, uneven, or just “out of balance,” niacinamide might be the multitasking solution you need. Gentle yet powerful, this form of Vitamin B3 strengthens your skin barrier, evens out tone, and calms irritation, making it ideal for all skin types and tones.
What Niacinamide Does
Niacinamide supports the skin’s natural barrier, helping it retain moisture while regulating oil production. It also improves texture, reduces redness, and boosts overall clarity. Think of it as a peacekeeper for the skin, keeping everything balanced and calm.
Key Benefits for All Skin Types
- Reduces Pore Appearance:
By regulating oil flow and keeping pores clear, niacinamide helps refine skin texture and minimise the look of enlarged pores. - Fades Pigmentation:
It gently evens out discolouration, including dark marks left behind by acne or inflammation. This makes it especially valuable for skin of colour, which can experience more visible pigmentation changes. - Strengthens the Skin Barrier:
Niacinamide helps your skin hold onto hydration, reducing dryness and sensitivity – ideal if your skin reacts easily. - Calms Breakouts:
With its anti-inflammatory benefits, niacinamide helps reduce redness and swelling, supporting clearer, smoother skin. - Anti-Ageing Support:
By stimulating collagen and protecting against oxidative stress, it helps soften fine lines and improve elasticity.
Niacinamide for Skin of Colour
Niacinamide is one of the safest and most effective ingredients for darker skin tones. It brightens without bleaching, supports hydration, and helps control oil without drying the skin. It’s also well-tolerated, even for sensitive or acne-prone complexions.
How to Use It
Use niacinamide once or twice daily after cleansing and before moisturising. It pairs beautifully with other active ingredients like Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinol, making it easy to layer into your routine.
Bring Balance Back to Your Skin
Whether your goal is clearer pores, a more even tone, or a calm, balanced complexion, niacinamide is a must-have.
