The ever-growing interest in science-backed skincare has brought actives to the centre stage. One such ingredient that comes to mind is Niacinamide, also dubbed as the holy grail of skin brightening by many. But is it worth the hype? The answer is a resounding yes! Scroll ahead to learn why.

What Is Niacinamide?

For the unversed, Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 that upholds the overall health of your skin. The sought-after skincare ingredient is found in foods like fish, milk, eggs, green veggies – in abundance. However, due to its water-soluble nature, Niacinamide cannot be retained by the body and has to be topically applied for best results.

 The Many Benefits Of Niacinamide

If you think that the interest in Niacinamide is transient, think again. The ingredient targets and addresses specific skin concerns (like dullness, acne, and poor barrier health) in numbered days. Loved by beginners and experts – we bring you all the reasons why Niacinamide is totally worth the hype.

1. Controls Sebum Production 

Maintaining the oily skin type can be a wee bit challenging (speaking from experience). Massive pores, unwarranted shine, and makeup that smears at the tiniest inconvenience. If you are in the same boat, might we recommend Niacinamide for your skincare rotation? This active blots excess oil and ensures a healthy microbiome.

2. Reduces Pore Size

Your skin bears the brunt of pollutants, sun exposure, and ever-changing weather conditions. It adds to your pores appearance,making them look massive. The topical application of Niacinamide prevents oil, gunk, and grime from congesting your pores.

3. Alleviates Episodes Of Inflammation 

Experiencing random episodes of redness and irritation on your skin? Add Niacinamide to your skincare routine STAT. For the unversed, the active ingredient has anti-inflammatory properties that work magic on the affected areas. 

Niacinamide is employed to treat eczema, rosacea and acne-related redness or inflammation.

4. Treats Hyperpigmentation

Looking for a long-term solution for the dark spots on your skin? Well, what can be better than the bonafide brightening agent, Niacinamide? It diminishes the concentration of melanin whilst boosting your skin’s radiance.

5. Curbs Active Acne 

Niacinamide carries antimicrobial (and anti-inflammatory) properties that flatten acne bumps while alleviating redness. If you have chronic acne, add the mild yet meticulous active in your morning/night skincare routine.

6. Reverses Signs Of Skin Ageing

Prevent early onset of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and more with Niacinamide. The active boosts collagen production in your skin, making it look taut and supple.
