About Niacinamide Serums & Skincare

What is niacinamide?

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 (also called nicotinamide) used widely in skincare. It serves as a precursor to the coenzymes NAD+ and NADP+, which are involved in cellular energy and repair processes in the skin.

What does niacinamide do for your skin?

Niacinamide is thought to help support and hydrate the skin's moisture barrier so skin holds onto moisture and feels comfortable, which studies suggest can reduce moisture loss and leave skin feeling more resilient and hydrated. It has also been studied for the look of uneven tone and dark spots, with split-face research finding that around 5% niacinamide may help diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation and support a more even-looking complexion. Research suggests it can also help support a smoother, more even-looking complexion and may help reduce the appearance of fine lines, enlarged pores, and excess shine, with studies on 2% niacinamide noting a reduction in the look of surface oil and visible pores. Because it is generally well tolerated and has gentle, antioxidant properties, niacinamide is often considered suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and oily skin.

Niacinamide for your skin concerns

Niacinamide is often chosen for large pores, redness, hyperpigmentation and acne & blemishes. Browse the medical-grade serums above, or shop by concern to build a full routine.

Frequently asked questions

What does niacinamide do for your skin?

Niacinamide is thought to help support and hydrate the skin's moisture barrier, and studies suggest it may help improve the look of uneven tone, dark spots, enlarged pores, and dullness. Many people use it as a versatile, everyday-friendly ingredient for a smoother, more even-looking complexion.

Can you use niacinamide every day?

Niacinamide is generally well tolerated and is often used once or twice daily, in the morning or evening. As with any new product, it is a good idea to introduce it gradually and patch test first, especially if your skin is sensitive.

Can you use niacinamide with vitamin C and retinol?

Yes, niacinamide is generally considered compatible with both vitamin C and retinol, and the old idea that niacinamide and vitamin C cancel each other out is now widely regarded as a myth. Niacinamide is also thought to help support skin tolerability when used alongside actives like retinoids, though everyone's skin is different, so introduce new combinations slowly.

What percentage of niacinamide is best?

Most skincare formulas use niacinamide in the 2% to 5% range, and clinical studies on tone, barrier support, and sebum have often looked at around 2% to 5%. Higher is not necessarily better, and a well-formulated product at a moderate concentration is generally a good starting point.

Is niacinamide good for sensitive or oily skin?

Niacinamide is generally considered suitable for most skin types, including sensitive, oily, and breakout-prone skin, thanks to its comforting, non-irritating profile. Research suggests it may also help reduce the look of excess shine and visible pores. If your skin is reactive, patch test first.
