It’s no surprise every dermatologist and their mom are obsessing over Niacinamide and its powers that prevent wrinkles, clogged pores, and more.
What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3, an essential nutrient that helps build proteins in the skin and protects against environmental damage, and pollution. It is a standout because of its versatility for almost any skincare concern and skin type, playing a role in maintaining skin well hydrated and helping to repair signs of past damage.
Niacinamide can be consumed in foods that naturally contain it - like green vegetables, nuts, and legumes - or taken as a supplement, this ingredient is a big deal in skincare since a lot of processes in your skin (supporting the barrier, boosting collagen, increasing cellular vitality) need niacinamide.
Niacinamide-rich products are a great addition to any skincare routine, as it is found to be non-sensitizing and well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.
The difference between Niacin and Niacinamide
As aforementioned, Niacinamide occurs naturally in certain foods. So, we take that food apart in a magically scientific way to use its powers to improve all the good stuff from skin texture to fine lines and wrinkles.
Their similarity in the names Niacin and Niacinamide connects them at their core; they’re both forms of vitamin B3. Your body can make niacinamide when you supplement niacin so they’re their own kind of Batman and Robin.
Here’s why your skin needs Niacinamide:
Every birthday that passes, our skin’s defense systems and cell functions begin to slow and weaken, which can result in loss of firmness, appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. But fine lines are not on our birthday wish list!
Niacinamide is a powerful line of defense! It armors up, strengthening the skin’s barrier by maintaining moisture levels and boosting ceramide production. In 2005 scientific research shows “…a variety of significant skin appearance improvement effects for topical niacinamide: reductions in fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness (yellowing). In addition, elasticity (as measured via cutometry) was dramatically improved.” - all of which will give you that plump, revitalized, and youthful-looking skin.
- It’s a one-stop shop: This year, we want to get the best results with the least amount of effort. No, we’re not condoning slacking off, we’re condoning working smart not hard; maximizing time and effort.

- Say ‘so long’ to acne: Dysregulation of sebum (oil) production usually results in oily skin which means breakouts. Niacinamide lowers sebum production which helps balance oil and moisture in the skin. In addition, B3 works to stabilize the melanosome activity within cells which can reduce the appearance of acne scars or melasma. High-five Niacinamide!
- Photoprotection: Wearing just sunscreen isn’t a strong enough line of defense these days. That’s why dermatologists are encouraging clients to hop on the vitamin B3 bandwagon, its most impressive work comes to play wit photoprotection. Niacinamide helps build cells in the skin to help you strengthen, support, and protect your skin against mutagenic and immune suppressive effects of sunlight as well as environmental stresses, such as pollution, and toxins.
