As far as ingredients go, Niacinamide is one of the ultimate skincare formulas you need to transform your skin.
What is niacinamide?
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that is not naturally produced in the body but is vital for its fantastic dermatological benefits. Known to reduce inflammation and other inflammatory skin conditions, minimize the appearance of pores and keep skin smooth and moisturized, it noticeably firms skin.
What does it do?
Boosting hydration and protecting the skin from environmental damage, it penetrates deep into the skin to renew the complexion from within. Acting as a skin barrier function, it limits the damage external factors can have, such as sun and pollution, by preventing the clogging of pores.
Would it suit my skin?
Niacinamide with a percentage greater than 5% has been shown to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and prevent new discoloration from appearing.
Anyone can benefit from this hero ingredient, but if your skin suffers from oiliness, blemishes, and pores, it can be a game-changer to help reduce redness, even skin tone, and prevent dryness to improve the overall appearance.
Can I use it with other ingredients?
Niacinamide can easily be integrated into any beauty routine and works great with AHA’s, retinol, ceramides, peptides, and most acids – all of which can have amazing benefits for your skin when combined.
Where do I start?
This Mattifying Boost Gel-Cream is a great way to introduce niacinamide into your skincare routine. Perfect to use as a base before applying make-up, it keeps skin hydrated and moisturized.
Look out for any 10% Niamiacide and 1% Zinc Serum, which is a great everyday product. Optimising cell renewal and strengthening the skins barrier, it hydrates skin all day long.
A more potent formula when building up tolerance is a slightly punchier 15% Niacinamide Serum. Targeting enlarged pores and reducing oiliness for a smoother, clearer complexion.
