What Are the Benefits of Niacinamide for Skin, and How Should It Be Used? - #15192

Anonymous

I’ve been seeing Niacinamide in a lot of skincare products, and I’m curious about its benefits. I read that it helps with acne, pigmentation, and skin texture, but how exactly does Niacinamide work? Is Niacinamide best for oily and acne-prone skin, or can it be used by people with dry skin as well? Also, should it be applied in the morning or at night, and does it need to be followed by sunscreen? I also want to know if there are natural sources of Niacinamide. Do certain foods or Ayurvedic ingredients contain it naturally? If anyone has used Niacinamide for skincare, did you notice a difference? What’s the best way to include it in a routine without irritating the skin?

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is a versatile skincare ingredient that helps control oil, reduce acne, fade pigmentation, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve texture by boosting ceramide production and calming inflammation. It suits all skin types, including dry skin, as it hydrates while regulating sebum. It can be used morning and night, but if applied in the morning, sunscreen is essential to protect against UV damage. Natural sources of Niacinamide include nuts, seeds, whole grains, and Ayurvedic ingredients like Amla, Ashwagandha, and Moringa, which nourish the skin from within. To avoid irritation, start with a low concentration (2-5%), pair it with soothing ingredients (like Aloe Vera), and avoid mixing it with strong actives like Vitamin C or AHAs at the same time.
