This is how niacinamide helps your skin Niacinamide may not get the same attention that retinol or vitamin C does, but it has serious good-for-skin qualities you may not know about. Whether it’s in your serum, moisturiser or other treatment, here are the benefits you can expect. Also known as vitamin B3, it helps give skin the tools it needs to repair the concerns that vex you most—enlarged pores, unevenness and fine lines. It also helps reduce free-radical damage. Free-radicals invisibly assault skin unprotected from UV exposure, pollution and irritants, gradually aging it. Why you should put it on your face Niacinamide isn’t a new ingredient, but it may be the one element you need to up your skincare game. Consider adding niacinamide to your routine if you’re dealing with one (or more) of these annoying skin concerns. Enlarged pores: When enlarged (due to sun exposure or clogging), pores have essentially stretched out. Niacinamide helps to "tighten" them back up by helping strengthen skin’s elasticity.
Red marks: As most of us know, post-breakout marks are in no hurry to leave your face. If you have them, good news—studies show 2% (or more) concentrations of niacinamide are especially effective at helping fade those marks faster (so long as you’re wearing SPF every day).] Uneven skin texture & fine lines: Just as they can tighten enlarged pores, the elasticity-strengthening benefits of niacinamide extend to help improve the texture of skin (including reducing the appearance of fine lines). Niacinamide is also an excellent ingredient for those struggling with breakouts AND wrinkles (AKA "brinkles").4] Paula’s Choice products that contain niacinamide Not sure of which niacinamide product to add to your routine?

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%: High-strength Vitamin and Mineral blemish formula by Deciem. Niacinamide, Vitamin B3, is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. A high 10% concentration of this vitamin is supported in the formula by zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to balance visible aspects of sebum activity. Contraindications: If topical Vitamin C is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect integrity of pure-form Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid). Note: While Niacinamide and Zinc PCA reduce the look of blemishes and balance visible sebum activity, neither is a treatment for acne. For persistent acne-related conditions, it is recommended to use Benzoyl Peroxide and/or Retinoic Acid. Deciem do not recommend the use of Salicylic Acid. The Ordinary Niacinamide + Zinc formulation can be used alongside acne treatments if desired for added visible skin benefits.
