Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is popular because it supports several skin goals at once.
Benefits
- Helps regulate oil
- Supports barrier function
- Improves uneven tone
- Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores
Who should use it?
Niacinamide works for most skin types, including oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.
How to layer it
Use niacinamide after cleansing and before moisturizer. If you are using a watery toner, apply toner first, then niacinamide serum.
How often?
Start once daily for 1 to 2 weeks. If your skin is comfortable, move to twice daily.
Common mistake
Using too many strong actives in one routine. Keep your routine simple and avoid stacking many new ingredients at once.
