FAQs
What is niacinamide and why is it used in serums? Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 known for its multitasking skin benefits. It helps regulate oil, minimise pores, improve texture, and support the skin barrier—making it one of the most versatile serum actives.
Is niacinamide good for acne or oily skin? It helps reduce inflammation, balances sebum production and improves overall skin clarity. It's also non-drying, making it a better alternative to harsh astringents for acne-prone types.
Can it be used with other actives? Absolutely. Niacinamide pairs beautifully with hyaluronic acid, zinc, retinol, and vitamin C. It's even gentle enough for layering with exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs.
Does niacinamide help with sensitivity or redness? It strengthens the barrier and reduces inflammation, which can calm irritated or reactive skin. It's a go-to for rosacea-prone or sensitive complexions.
When should I use niacinamide serum? Twice daily if your skin tolerates it. It works well after toner and before moisturiser or SPF, and can be used year-round without concern for photosensitivity.
