What is Niacinamide and how does it work?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble derivative of Vitamin B3, an essential nutrient for both body and skin health. When applied topically, niacinamide helps to:
-
Brighten the skin by blocking the transfer of melanin to the surface, helping to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
-
Improve skin barrier function by stimulating natural ceramide production.
-
Regulate oil production, helping to minimize breakouts and keep pores clear.
-
Calm inflammation, making it great for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
-
Support collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and softening fine lines and wrinkles.
Thanks to these multiple benefits, niacinamide is a star ingredient in many brightening and anti-aging serums.
Different Niacinamide concentrations and their effects
2%–5%: Gentle and Soothing
Lower concentrations are ideal for beginners or those with highly sensitive skin. At this level, niacinamide helps to soothe the skin and boost hydration without overwhelming the skin barrier.
5%–10%: Oil Control and Tone Correction
This range is ideal for people looking to reduce oiliness, manage breakouts, and improve skin tone. It’s a common concentration in products aimed at acne-prone skin or dull complexions.
12%: Deep Brightening and Anti-Aging—With Less Irritation
A 12% concentration is considered a sweet spot—powerful enough to deliver visible improvements in skin tone, fade stubborn post-acne marks and pigmentation, and support collagen production for firmer skin.
Compared to stronger acids or vitamin C, niacinamide 12% is less irritating, making it ideal for those who want real results without redness or sensitivity.
