Uses of Niacinamide for skin aka Vitamin B3
Girls I got you BFF, who is an active and very stable ingredient and easy to work with your skincare.
So, Vitamin B3 is categorised in three types Niacin, Niacinamide and Nicotinamide.
While Niacin is already present in our body and we can avail it from Vegetables and chicken & fish.
The other two ingredients are often found in skincare and Haircare products, they are referred to as Niacinamide and Nicotinamide.

It a water soluble, it doesn’t dissolve in oil.
Hence they are usually found in water-based moisturizer, serum and sheet mask.
It has a ph-7, it’s neutral.
It can be used in a high percentage and can easily be tolerated by the skin.
Easily gets absorbed by the outer layer of skin, that helps in reducing evaporation of water from the skin that helps to increase the moisture content of the skin.
It also helps to control and alleviate mild to moderate acne as its an anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory.
Control sebum:
It does help in less sebum production that leads to unclogging pores and visible less pore size.

With which product we can use Niacinamide:
since its a hydrating and doesn’t cause any irritation to skin you can use Niacinamide with almost all other products
✓ Even out skin tone and texture
✓ Restore Hydration
✓ Improve Skin Barrier
✓ Control Sebum Production
✓ Minimize Large Pores
✓ Reduces Hyperpigmentation, age spots.
✓ Promote Collagen for youthful skin
✓ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
So, many benefits yet we don’t have a single brand in India which formulate this on its own as in the international market.
Having my hopes high, as we are seeing a huge revolution in the Indian market.
Update: suganda have launched Niacinamide serum with 10%

Stay Hydrated
