Skincare active Niacinamide has a flurry of benefits. It reduces dark spots, regulates sebum production, and brightens complexion, among many other things.

We walk through the benefits of Niacinamide and help you use it for the different skin types. But before we get to this cheatsheet, let’s refresh our knowledege on Niacinamide. 

What Is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide is water-soluble – its surplus amount gets flushed from the human body. So, if you want to reap the benefits of Niacinamide for skin, we recommend adding it to your daily skincare routine.

How To Use Niacinamide For Different Skin Types  

Let’s find a spot for Foxtale’s beloved in your daily routine based on your skin type  

Foxtale’s Niacinamide Serum For Dry Skin 

Characteristics: For those unaware, dryness occurs when your skin loses water very quickly, often leading to dehydration. Dry skin can look flaky, scaly, inflamed and feel bothersome.  

Solution: Foxtale’s Niacinamide Serum is the perfect fit for folks with dry skin. Its topical application creates a protective barrier on the dermis preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. Moreover, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, our Niacinamide Serum reduces redness, inflammation, hives and other flare-ups. 

How To Use Niacinamide For Dry Skin

Foxtale’s Niacinamide Serum For Oily Skin 

Characteristics: Oily skin carries overactive sebaceous glands. It leads to a never-ending oil slick that attracts dirt, grime, and other impurities. When this buildup and sebum clog pores, they appear enlarged. If they are further aggravated, plugged pores may turn into whiteheads, blackheads or even acne.   

Solution: Our Niacinamide Serum blots excess sebum and prevents clogged pores – making it the perfect choice for folks with oily skin. Lack of hydration can lead sebaceous glands to act up, leading to more greasiness than ever. Luckily, Niacinamide fortifies hydration by preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss.

How To Use Niacinamide For Oily Skin

3. Once the serum absorbs completely, use Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer to seal hydration and treatment. The lightweight moisturizer also contains Niacinamide for oil control and acne prevention.

4. In your AM regimen, use Foxtale’s Matte Sunscreen STAT. The Niacinamide-infused formula ensures formidable sun protection without clogging pores.

Foxtale’s Niacinamide Serum For Combination Skin 

Characteristics: Combination skin boasts characteristics of oily and dry skin. If you have combination skin, you may experience a perpetual shine on the T-zone, forehead and chin. Meanwhile, your cheeks would stay relatively dry. 

Solution: Foxtale’s Niacinamide Serum works wonders for the combination skin types. It absorbs excess shine and prevents clogged pores in the oily areas. Meanwhile, Niacinamide’s hydrating prowess helps revive the dry, flaky patches in the rest of your face.

So, what are you waiting for? Scroll ahead for the best products and other tricks to improve acne-prone skin. Before we delve deeper into this listicle, a quick refresher on acne-prone skin wouldn’t hurt. 

What Is Acne-Prone Skin? 

Acne-prone skin is susceptible to episodes of acne vulgaris. Ahead, we list the three different ways acne-prone skin manifests in different individuals  

1. Oily skin: The skin contains sebaceous glands that produce sebum. These oils help naturally moisturize the skin, decelerate signs of ageing and offset inflammation. When the skin produces more than the adequate amount of sebum, it is called oily. This skin type easily attracts dirt, grime and other impurities, resulting in pore-clogging buildup on the skin. 

2. Clogged pores, whiteheads or blackheads: Excess sebum, dead cells, and debris may clog pores, resulting in their enlarged appearance. When these clogged pores are further exacerbated, you might see pesky whiteheads or blackheads on the skin. The only difference – blackheads have bigger openings on the skin’s surface, allowing air to travel inside and oxidize melanin. It results in the black hue that ‘blackheads’ are notoriously known for.   

3. Acne bumps and breakouts: Harmful bacteria can target clogged pores, leading to bumps and inflammation. To avoid this problem, one must address plugged pores from the very beginning. 

Identifying Your Breakout: Inflammatory vs. Non-Inflammatory

To improve your skin, you must know what you are fighting:

• Non-Inflammatory: Blackheads and whiteheads. These aren't painful or red. 
  Solution: Salicylic Acid and regular exfoliation.
• Inflammatory: Papules (red bumps) and Pustules (white-topped pimples). These are often bacterial. 
  Solution: Foxtale’s Acne Spot Corrector with Azelaic Acid.

What Are Some Triggers For Acne-Prone Skin? 

You can grapple with acne-prone skin due to a myriad of reasons. Peruse our list and try to identify your triggers. This intermediate step will help you employ the best possible ingredients in your daily routine. 

1. Imbalanced hormones

2. Poor stress management

3. Genetic predisposition 

4. Smoking and other lifestyle decisions 

5. Natural processes like ageing

What Are The Best Ingredients For Acne-Prone Skin?

We know that active ingredients percolate deep into the skin to address specific skin concerns. To treat acne and related concerns, we recommend the following pick of efficacious ingredients

1. Oil soluble Salicylic Acid  

Salicylic Acid is a skincare workhorse that addresses different stages of acne (non-inflammatory and inflammatory). The active ingredient dislodges excess sebum, grime, and buildup from the pores, ensuring a balanced microbiome. Use a Salicylic Acid serum or opt for a face wash infused with the active ingredient.

2. Anti-inflammatory Niacinamide   

Another stellar addition to your anti-acne kit is Niacinamide. The multitasker blots sebum, prevents clogged pores, and soothes inflammation.

3. Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid  

Contrary to common misconception, acne-prone needs sustained hydration. You see, the lack of hydration cues the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode, resulting in more greasiness. This is why we recommend adding powerful humectants like Hyaluronic Acid to your skincare mix.

4. Exfoliating AHAs BHAs 

Unwarranted buildup on the skin clogs pores, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and acne. To avoid future breakouts, add gentle exfoliants like Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Lactic Acid to your weekly skincare rotation.

5. Renewing Retinol  

The topical application of Vitamin A derivative, Retinol, sheds dead skin and ensures healthy cellular renewal. Besides acne, Retinol addresses spots, marks and other scars – making it a great fit for acne-prone skin. 

Best Skincare Routine For Acne-Prone Skin 

Let’s use the above ingredients to tailor a skincare routine for acne-prone skin. Remember, the key to great skin is patience and persistence. So, follow through on your morning and nighttime skincare using these Foxtale bestsellers.

1. Cleanse right: For acne-prone skin, you need a gentle cleanser that effectively removes dirt, grime, and excess sebum from the pores. Try Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash right now.  Salicylic Acid, at the heart of this formulation, regulates sebum production, alleviates acne, and soothes inflammation. This face wash for pimples ensures a thorough cleanse without disrupting your skin’s pH. Moreover, Hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide are used in the face wash to administer sustained hydration to the skin. 

Directions: Use a coin-sized amount of the formula and gently cleanse your face for 30 seconds. Once through, use water for a double cleanse.

2. Target and treat: Once your skin is dry, use a serum to address underlying concerns. If you want to blot excess sebum, try Foxtale’s Niacinamide Serum. For dissolving buildup, turn to our efficacious AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum and so forth.

Directions: Once your skin is dry, take a few pumps of the serum and dab it on your face. Observe caution around sensitive areas like the eyes and the mouth.

3. Moisturize and replenish: Seal the treatment with a potent moisturizer. For those unaware – a moisturizing formula contains emollients and occlusives that form a protective barrier on the dermis. For acne-prone skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer. The Niacinamide-infused formula soaks in excess sebum, soothes redness, calms irritation and prevents acne breakouts. Moreover, Hyaluronic Acid and Marine Extracts improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. 

Directions: Take a dollop of Foxtale’s Oil Free Moisturizer and massage it on your skin.

4. Sun protect: Once the moisturizer infuses into your skin, use a potent SPF to keep sun damage at bay. For acne-prone skin, we recommend Foxtale’s Matte Sunscreen. The lightweight formula ensures protection against harmful UV rays, preventing burns, tanning, photoaging and pigmentation. The best part? The bestseller contains Niacinamide that prevents clogged pores and cuts shine.

Directions: Take two fingers’ worth of the sunscreen and apply it on your face. If you’re outdoors for long periods, we recommend reapplying every two hours.

What Is A Cleanser And Why It Is Important? 

A cleanser is a formula that removes dirt, grime, and impurities from the pores, ensuring a balanced skin microbiome for the skin. Additionally, a potent cleanser extends several benefits for your skin.

1. Unclogs pores and cues healthy cellular regeneration: The skin lays bare to dirt, pollutants, and other impurities all day. This creates a layer of buildup atop that hampers cellular renewal, clogs pores and makes your skin appear dull. A cleanser adroitly dissolves this buildup to address the above concerns and more. 

2. Deeply hydrates the skin: Hydration is crucial for the upkeep and maintenance of your skin. Ample hydration accelerates healing, strengthens the lipid barrier, and ensures the overall structure of your skin.  

3. Calms inflammation and irritation: Using a soothing cleanser stops bacteria from spreading through the skin.  

4. Improves your skin’s circulation: Cleansing for only a minute improves the blood flow to your skin, bestowing upon it a soft radiance. Moreover, regular cleansing cues the regeneration of skin cells and enhances Collagen production – making you look more youthful.  

5. Boosts your serum or treatment’s efficacy: Before using a result-oriented serum or treatment, use a cleanser to remove dirt, debris, and dead cells. This ensures better absorption of the active ingredients across the barrier for swifter results.

What Should You Look For In A Cleanser For Acne? 

To target a specific concern like acne, your cleanser should check the above boxes and then some more. Ahead, we list the non-negotiables for your acne cleanser.

1. Oil control: One of the main reasons for acne is excessive greasiness. That’s right, when surplus sebum, dirt, and dead cells clog the pores, it leads to the appearance of bumps. Therefore, an acne cleanser should aim to regulate sebum for a healthy microbiome.

2. Unclog pores: A potent acne formula should dislodge dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores for even, smooth skin. This helps prevent all forms of acne – inflammatory and non-inflammatory (re: whiteheads and blackheads)  

3. Prevent acne and soothe inflammation: It goes without saying, that an acne face wash should be able to prevent and curb acne. Since this skin condition occurs when microbiomes start thriving in clogged pores, the right cleanser will inhibit this bacterial growth for smooth, radiant skin.

Quick Summary: What to Look For vs. What to Avoid

What Ingredients Should You Look For In An Acne Cleanser

Now that you’re well-versed in the functionalities of an acne face wash, here are some ingredients you should seek.

1. Salicylic Acid: Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble active ingredient that cuts excess sebum, unclogs pores, and reduces acne. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe inflammation.  

2. Niacinamide: Niacinamide is a non-negotiable for folks with acne-prone skin. Its topical application soaks up excess sebum, prevents clogged pores and ensures long-lasting hydration for the skin.  

3. Hyaluronic Acid: Low hydration levels in your skin trigger the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode. This leads to a never-ending oil slick on the skin, excess buildup and eventually, the formation of bumps. Incorporate a powerful humectant like HA that binds water molecules to the skin and replenishes its deepest layers.  

4. AHAS like Glycolic Acid: The powerful exfoliant, Glycolic Acid, sloughs off your skin’s outermost layer to prevent greasiness, blackheads, and acne. The ingredient boasts small molecules that easily percolate into the skin for best results. 

5. Azelaic Acid: Azelaic Acid makes for a great addition to your anti-acne kit. The active ingredient inhibits acne-causing and soothes inflammation.

What Are Some Ingredients You Should Avoid For Acne? 

Certain ingredients can irritate acne-prone skin, leading to more breakouts and inflammation. Scroll ahead to make an informed decision –

1. SLS or Sodium lauryl sulphate is a foaming agent commonly found in cleansers. It makes your skin feel stripped, leading to more greasiness, breakouts, and inflammation. 

2. Alcohol in your acne cleanser leads to irritation and dehydrates the skin. This grave oversight leads to perpetual greasiness, clogged pores, and eventually breakouts. 

3. Parabens are preservatives that can disrupt your hormone levels, leading to inexplicable episodes of breakouts.

What Causes Acne On Dry Skin?

Before we find formulas that hit the sweet spot, it's important to understand the reason behind acne on dry skin:

1. While there may be other triggers, acne occurs on dry skin due to the lack of natural moisturization. Dry skin loses water molecules quickly (and rather dramatically) to become dehydrated. This pressing concern cues the sebaceous glands into overdrive mode, resulting in more sebum. And when this sebum, keratin, and dead cells clog pores on your skin, you see the formation of bumps and eventually acne.

2. Using ill-suited products can also lead to acne on dry skin. Using formulas, especially pore-clogging moisturizers often leads to acne. We recommend checking the product label if you are prone to breakouts.

What Are Some Ingredients That Work For Acne And Dry Skin  

Admittedly, acne on dry skin is a tough combination to beat. Here’s a look at ingredients that work best for these distinct concerns.

For acne: Bid farewell to acne with Salicylic Acid. The oil-soluble ingredient percolates into the pores to remove excess oil, unclog pores, soothe inflammation, and alleviate acne. The meticulous exfoliant is gentle and doesn’t make the skin feel stripped.

For dryness: The best ingredient to revive dry, flaky skin is Hyaluronic Acid. HA is a powerful humectant that binds about X1000 water molecules to the skin, making it feel soft and radiant. Moreover, Hyaluronic Acid counters inflammation or redness due to extreme dryness.
