We then introduce you to the best niacinamide serum that will elevate your skincare game exponentially. So, what are you waiting for? Keep reading to make an informed decision. Is Niacinamide Only For Dry And Oily Skin? No, every skin type can find a use for this active ingredient. Scroll ahead for the benefits. Niacinamide for dry skin: While buying products for dry skin, Niacinamide should be on your radar. The skincare active ensures long-lasting hydration for the skincare by preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. Niacinamide for oily skin: Niacinamide is a Godsend for folks with oily skin. It blots excess oil and prevents clogged pores, ensuring a balanced microbiome. Niacinamide for combination skin: We know that combination skin has the characteristics of both oily and dry skin. That means – excess grease on the T-zone, chin and forehead while the cheeks stay relatively dry. Niacinamide cuts this shine and shrinks pores while keeping hydration intact for the skin. Niacinamide for sensitive skin: Sensitive skin is more prone to inflammation, redness, rashes and more. Enter Niacinamide. Its anti-inflammatory properties promote overall skin health and healing. Moreover, the topical application of Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier by boosting Ceramides and Elastin.

Be extremely careful around sensitive areas like the eyes and mouth. 3. Moisturize generously: After the serum infuses into the skin, follow up with a moisturizer.
