Frequently Asked Questions
What is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide is one of the most common and well-studied form of Vitamin B3 used in cosmetic products. It is a low molecular weight, water-soluble vitamin that is crucial to the energy, repair, and homeostasis of cells.
What does a Niacinamide serum do for the skin?
Serums are a way to introduce ingredients to the skin in a lighter-weight, more concentrated format – in this instance: Niacinamide. Niacinamide is a water-soluble format of Vitamin B3 and has a multitude of benefits when applied topically. By placing this ingredient in a serum format, it allows the ingredient to be delivered directly to the skin at a concentration which will provide strong, beneficial effects.
What are the benefits of Niacinamide?
Niacinamide serums offer a wide array of benefits. Studies have shown that Niacinamide has the potential to act as an antioxidant, can improve skin’s barrier function, decrease skin hyperpigmentation, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, decrease redness/blotchiness, decrease skin yellowness (sallowness), and improve skin elasticity.
Can you use a Niacinamide serum every day?
Yes. Our Niacinamide Pure Serum may be used every day. Because Niacinamide is an active ingredient, it is recommended that you start slowly when pairing with other active ingredients to avoid sensitization.
Can a Niacinamide serum help acne?
Niacinamide has been found to be highly beneficial to those who are acne prone. It helps to regulate sebum production in the skin which, over time, can help reduce the number of breakouts. Additionally, Niacinamide is anti-inflammatory which can address active acne marks by calming and soothing irritation and redness. Lastly, because of its ability to regulate skin tone, it can address red and brown post-acne spots.
