Niacinamide, explained plainly

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is one of the most useful everyday skincare ingredients. It’s gentle, pairs well with almost anything, and suits most skin types.

What it helps with

With consistent use over several weeks, niacinamide can help:

• The look of dark marks and uneven tone
• The appearance of shine and pores
• Skin feel more comfortable and balanced

How to use it

Apply a niacinamide serum after cleansing, once a day to start. If your skin is happy, use it morning and night. Always finish your morning routine with sunscreen — it’s what helps prevent new dark spots.

Everyone’s skin is different. If you have a skin condition or persistent irritation, speak to a dermatologist.
