Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a gentle form of vitamin B3 that reduces excess oil, minimizes the look of pores, calms redness and gently brightens an uneven skin tone.
Niacinamide is the multitasker your skin will thank you for. This form of vitamin B3 quietly does a little bit of everything, helping to balance excess oil, soften the look of enlarged pores, calm redness and brighten a dull or uneven tone. It is famously easy going, so most skin types tolerate it beautifully.
What makes it such a favourite is how well it plays with other ingredients, meaning you can slot it into your routine without much fuss.
- Look for it in serums at around five percent for daily use
- It layers happily with hyaluronic acid and moisturizer
