Application field

Niacinamide is a multipurpose skin care ingredient. It helps build keratin, a protein that maintains skin health.
1. Niacinamide may enhance the function of skin's lipid barrier (a layer of water and oil that protects your skin). This helps lock moisture in and keep pollutants or other potential irritants out.
2. Niacinamide has been shown to ease inflammation, which can help calm redness due to conditions like acne, rosacea and eczema. It can also soothe irritation caused by strong exfoliants like retinol or glycolic acid.
3. Niacinamide may help minimize pore's appearance by helping keep your skin smooth and clear. It also may help regulate the amount of oil your glands produce, which can prevent breakouts and clogged pores.
4. Oral nicotinamide supplements may help prevent new skin cancer or precancerous spots from developing in some people.
5. Some research suggests skin care formulas with 5% niacinamide can also help lighten dark spots.
