Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide is a naturally occurring, water-soluble vitamin that can be found in a variety of skin care formulations, including moisturizers and targeted treatment serums. Suitable for all skin types due to its gentle yet effective nature, niacinamide can help improve visible signs of aging, and dryness caused by a weakened skin barrier.

Yes, you can use niacinamide every day. It is considered a mild ingredient, so most users will not see irritation when applying morning and evening.

Yes, niacinamide and vitamin C can be used together. Vitamin C and vitamin B3 in skincare work synergistically to provide great benefits for the skin by reducing discoloration and evening skin tone.

Niacinamide can be used in the morning or night, or both. Be sure to apply a broad spectrum SPF when using it in the morning to provide ample protection from the sun’s UVA/UVB rays.

Yes, niacinamide can be used with retinol as a part of your overall skincare routine. It is recommended that formulas containing niacinamide be applied before retinol to help protect the skin.

Benefits of vitamin B3 for the skin include strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier and reducing the appearance of skin discoloration and blotchiness. A strong moisture barrier helps to keep environmental stressors and pollution out of your skin while retaining moisture that helps to smooth and plump the skin.

It is typical for vitamin B3 in skincare to take several weeks to show results, so users should be patient and vigilant in their regimen to ensure they see the results they seek with niacinamide formulas.
